Apparently the Government is not able to subsidize our use of Malaysian highways...
If I were to comment further, the term Draconic censorship laws come to mind...

Introducing the New Camry 2007
The new Camry is finally out in the market! Well, not quite - as last weekend was only the press launch, but orders are already streaming in and it looks like Toyota has unveiled another winner!There are basically 3 variants for the Malaysian market - the 2.0E, 2.0G and 2.4. The 2.0E is the basic version, while the 2.0G comes with leather seats, electric seats, HID lights etc. The only differences compared to the 2.4 litre variant (apart from the larger engine) is the vehicle stability control (VSC), wood finishing and 17 inch rims.
What is missing is the push button ignition, which would have been classy.
Style wise, it is elegant and a worthy replacement for the previous model, incidentally America's favorite family sedan. Also, it is worthy to note that we are getting the Asian version, which has a less sportier profile compared to its American counterpart. While beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, it is said, this blogger prefers the distinguished lines available in our market - and I probably fit the targeted market profile too!

Kiss and Tell?
Footballers and tell-'em-all biographies don't really belong together. I mean imagine an honest scribe putting together a week in the life of a pro soccer player.
Monday morning 6am - wake up aching from Sunday night's gyrations on the dance floor - swears! Really ought to quit drinking quite so much... (healthy) breakfast of muffins and marmalade - ok, why not throw in a couple of Vienna Sausages and bacon, and maybe just a small beer...
8.13am - damn! The gaffer's standing by the doorway looking at his wriswatch - hope it's one of those cheap Taiwanese made ones - damn! One weeks wages fine for being late....
I think the point is evident to see. In order to sell copies, it's all about SENSATIONALIZATION! And that is an ugly word that means reality doesn't matter.
But the truth is, reality does matter. And despite the "honest" protestations of soccer agents worldwide, the damage can be widespread.
Enter Sir Alex's poorly timed book. In it, the old manager questions the intentions of supporters and the role they play. Ill-advised it may be, but I suspect that the gaffer knew little about it in the first place. If indeed those were his words, it would be less colorful and we all know that he is not one to mince his words when it comes to criticism. Trouble is, the damage has already been done. And for all he has done for the club, I wonder whether this is the beginning of the end for Sir Alex.
