Super sec
The former chief of the naval
kind who is now reduced to the post of sec at the
ministry overseeing roads and highways is generating a
few laughs these days. Though he shed his uniform to don
civilian garb, the mindset is still very military and he
obviously feels the need to surround himself with a
dozen of security types.
What's worse, the non-cab head
for highways, Tee Bee Dissa had a moment of panic when
his car was stopped on its tracks to allow the secy to
make a beeline to the same ministry office. Talk about
super secys in the making in a state gone all military!
Hmmm!
Presidential delay
Passengers who happily boarded
UL 303 from the Lion City last Wednesday were in for a
rude surprise. They had to kick their heels and wait for
three long hours with no food or drink and fuming too,
until the flight could take off at 6.30 p.m, SIN time.
And all this drama because the
Prez had arrived in the City for a check up that is
medical and was to fly back home on board the same UL
303. And who would dare breathe a word against a Maha
Raja ? Certainly not his loyal subjects eh?
feline fury
Talk about a cat fight. One is
about to erupt as two damsels from the silver screen are
to compete from that southern city Galle - on the blue
ticket of course. The issue is that the older of the two
cannot stand the younger who we all now know has a
penchant it seems for politics and politicos.
Particularly those of the big and muscled kind.
Anyway, claws have been unsheathed and it is now left to
Mahinda Maama to solve yet another dispute before the
fur really begins to fly. Meow!
More the merrier
And now the top cop from down south is also hoping
for a nomination.. What with film stars, and all those
military men.. the khakied kind are also only too
willing to jump into the fray. And why not eh? After
all why not make hay while the sun is shining - human
rights and all be darned!
