Astro All Asia Networks plc AGM

Shareholders really felt appreciated today for their loyalty to the company. At the Astro All Asia Networks plc AGM in KLCC this afternoon, a sumptuous lunch was provided. There was complete order and decorum and all shareholders and the first and second proxies were given door gifts of food vouchers at the Trader's Restaurant.Third proxies were allowed to have lunch and to attend the AGm and the EGM.

I met a trader outside the main hall and he was trading in all kinds of AGM paraphernalia. From electrical goods, to Genting hotel rooms to food coupons, he traded them all. Real resourceful chap.

This is one AGM I am pretty contented with.

PS. Also attended the SILK AGM this morning. Poor company got to ask for a rights or else it will be delisted. They gave the usual finger food cakes and tea.

QUESTION:

What is the truest definition of Globalization?

ANSWER:

Princess Diana's death.

QUESTION:

How so?

ANSWER:

An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel,driving a German car with a Dutch engine,driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky,followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,on Japanese motorcycles;treated by an American doctor,using Brazilian medicines.This story was received from an Indian,and forwarded to you by an Indonesian,using Canadian's technology,and you're reading this on your Blackberry, that uses Koreans chips,and a Taiwanese LCDs,assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Hungary factory,transported by Pakistan lorry-drivers,hijacked by Indonesians,unloaded by Sicilian long shoremen,and repacked by Mexican illegals,shipped to Hongkong and Singapore before finally arrives in your hand...

That, my friend, is the true meaning of "Globalization".
