Drop ‘mega’ from projects, says Dr M in an article featured in the Star. The term, supposedly refers to "big and wasteful projects", was coined by the colonists and does not bear testimony to what Malaysia is today. Granted, projects like the North South Highway have added tremendous premium to our economic wealth, but the judgement is still out on KLIA and the MSC.
In a somewhat related case, a watch of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was missing from its display case at his birth house the day before yesterday. The now converted complex under the management of the National Archives reported no break-ins. So does this mean it will be categorised as a mini-case?
On a more playful note, I could propose a couple of alternatives... Depending on Pak Lah's ambitions, "Giga" may seem a natural progression... or if another member of the cabinet decides to come up with, for example, the Durian Super Corridor, we could term it a Luna-Project (for lunatic)...
With Mega/Giga/Luna Love,
Jefe
P.S. Anybody wanna buy a watch?
