BEST COMPANY TO WORK FOR

You can never get a word out of HANTU until he has his sufficient share of the usual chilled stuff. It was OK by me as the echo at the Royal Selangor Club's Oval can be quite discomforting. It must have been after his seventh that he broke his silence with "Sime Darby is the best corporation to work for!" Even Citizen Nades nearly lost his balance on the stool. "What cockamamie is that?," I chided.

Smugly, after half-draining the eighth he asked what better company than Sime, where you can lose RM1 billion and you are rewarded with paid leave till November. That was perceptive no doubt and that was the truth no doubt too.

"And another thing you guys are not aware of.....Perkosong's Ibrahim Ali wants the whole board sacked even before Jib can make a statement....for sure the big fat mummy will sit on Ali's face," Hantu predicted. That of course we will not hear from any of the BN's pounds. "That's garbage," I challenged. "Garbage or otherwise, my lady friend who carries Mumtaz's handbag, who in turn carries Mama's handbag, told me so," whilst draining down the other half of the eighth. Ib Ali sure deserves that for that acting like the PM. Ib would just pray that the sitter won't break wind. Dang!
