Mumbai bridge: Jan 4 2011

For some years now our chips are just not at the bargaining table. Our chips are down. As a result we lost the (Brunei) oil fields, Pulau Batu Putih, KTM land and the just being-constructed scenic bridge.

Tenang is not tenang. The ghost of altanthuya is still hovering around. People with bad records are placed in top positions - Risda, Felda, SPAD. Pro-Mahasiswa of Unisel is voicing the right thing. Let professionals run technical organisations. For example, the former VC of UPM could bring Felda to greater heights.

Years ago to cross the small river near my kampong house was by means of a timber-log bridge. The common belief especially told to children then was that a new bridge requires a sacrifice, a head. The headhunting is supposedly done by 'keling sabit potong kepala' who carries a gunnysack.

Perhaps, the scenic bridge can only be successfully built after the sacrificial top head rolls.
