Wow, an unusual night – after 4 years of longing to catch Ratatouille either on business travel flights or the occasional break I take in PJ, it came to me on Channel 5 on a night that magically most of my other appointments got canceled (if you know me I’m never home on a Sunday ...
Just as I spent most of my childhood knowing only one Prime Minister until I was 23 (MM), I also know only only one opposition leader in parliament, and appears routinely on Chinese newspapers that my family subscribes as the savior for the unjust faced by the daily average Malaysian.
