The Hadi Gambit-SunTzu Style?

Goliath

Najib may be popular but this is no Obama-Mitt Romney presidential campaign.

If PAS should allow its President Hadi to take on Najib, it is truly a page from Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Versus goliath

As much as his supporters may claim that he has more national appeal and can canvass around the country to bring in the votes for BN, Hadi'sentry into the Pekan poll will force an encampment of Najib in Pekan- A siege of sort until he is assured of a comfortable margin of victory.

For now, we have to wait whether Hadi will be allowed to contest in Pekan.

Brigadoon-Once in Every 100 Years

Rapture

Took time off from patent editing to watch a 1954 musical called Brigadoon.

A magical village somewhere in Scotland that appears once in every 100 years. Yet for 2 American tourists out shooting ducks, they found it by chance.

Apparently, someone called on the dark forces to preserve this small village forever sacrificing himself in the process.

Adoring

For Frank and Jeff, they had a lifetime of a day with Frank falling in love with Fiona.

Yet they left Brigadoon for New York.

For Frank, love was too strong and he had to go back to Scotland to see Fiona once more and leave no more.

As the tale goes, the magic will come back if love is true and enduring and Frank found Fiona.

The melody of "What a day this has been for the whole human race, it 's just like falling in love" will worm itself into your heart and mind.

Great oldie to watch to take time off.

Time for Tea with Cyd Charisse

Cyd Charisse is mesmerisingly beautiful and her dance with Gene Kelly is truly memorable!

AGM-Some Memorable Events

Better Days, New Chairman

Apparently one of Musa Hitam's last task as Chairman of Sime Darby was to allow a minority shareholder  to speak as he was having difficulty controlling his urine and need to speak before he goes to a urinal.

No, it is no laughing matter but this sort of things do unexpectedly happen.

Sweet Surrender

Today I was at Khee San's AGM at the Mines Wellness Hotel.

The meeting was really brief. No questions asked; only praises heaped on the company's performance and the health of the Chairman.

So, shareholders got one more goody bag of sweets and a RM 15.00 McDonalds voucher.

Good day, Tan Sri Chairman.

See you next year again.

We pray that you will be hale and hearty!

Astro-Killing of its Employees' Investment

Entrapment of the Worst Kind!

This is the second worst performer after UOA Development.

No thanks to the fumbling authorities.

Now the Astro employees who bought the shares at RM 3.00 are suffering as they could have taken bank-loans to procure these ill-begotten 'pariah' shares.

Just like the poor minority shareholders who got the shares through the IPO and those who bought in the market at about that price, they are quietly licking their wounds.

As of today, Astro went as low as RM 2.61. As such those who bought at IPO price have have lost RM 400.00 per lot.

I think the authorities and the company owe these investors a lot of explanation.

Dishes of Disaster!

Unless UOA Development and Astro see some price readjustment upwards, retailers will shun our market.

I am sure the next few IPOs will be dead ducks!

No one will play!
