Talk in Batu Pahat

I did a day trip to Batu Pahat to give a talk. On the way back the highway at Seremban section was jammed and I was crawling there for 1 hour from 8.45 to 9.45pm.

Best hairstyle award?




Here is a guy with a most unique hairstyle ;-). He is a bartender at Chillis in PJ Hilton.

I am now going to Batu Pahat to give a talk. Lots to juggle - biz, talks, reading, writing, keeping fit and starting a 2nd Masters Degree soon.

The West's campaign against tyranny and autocratic rule is also being challenged by China's support of many autocratic regimes in the world. That's all I got time for now....
