Missing the news

How many of you have your newspapers delivered to your house daily, thrown perhaps, over your fence, often giving you a jump, wherever you are? Or tucked nicely in the gates. Or do you buy the daily from the shops nearby? I am one of those who buy theirs from shops around.

Well, the topic is not on how we obtain our daily dose of news and knowledge. Let’s leave it to the vendors and move on.

This morning - Tuesday August 5, 2009 – I was comfortably seated in my chair with nothing to do, just waiting for the breakfast from my good wife. I had not bought my newspaper yet, so I just took a paper lying on the desk beside me to while away the time and was surprised to see a news that I had missed. The paper was the Starmetro. Surprised, because the news was about a place in my town, about Bukit Larut. The date was 28 July 2009! Who would not like to read what was happening in one’s own place. And I had unconsciously given it a miss! The news was about an erosion issue.

I wonder whether I am alone in this kind of inobservance. Or, are there still others with this predicament. Sorry folks, I hope there are! Otherwise, I will be painting myself as an inobservant and careless cuss, and that is not a good accolade to give oneself, is it not? If others are also experiencing it, then I am saved! I am normal!

Coming to the erosion issue, there was this article that caught my eye:

State Health, Local Government, Consumer Affairs, Environment, Public Transportation and Non-Islamic Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon said the developer was now clearing the land for the project’s septic tank system.

Wow! Look at the man; he is the chairman in so many portfolios! He should be loaded with cash! But this can only mean that competent personalities are hard to come by in Perak.

The Datuk has to be everywhere. No proper rest is being given to him. My heart bleeds for him. Will someone please stop this bleeding, by lessening the burden on Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon’s shoulders? Find some qualified and capable individuals for the state.

Well…... on second thought, I think it is okay, as long as he does not send his Public Transportation representative to attend a Non-Islamic Affairs Talk!

There seem to be people with more portfolios than him! Only hope they do not mix up their representatives.
