Thought of the day

I thank whatever gods may be / For my unconquerable soul. / I am the master of my fate / I am the captain of my soul. ~William Ernest Henley, Invictus

Government's promises are like the Ringgit, they depreciate with time.

After UN meeting rejected proposal to regulate shark fin trade.

The fish are often tossed back into the water after their precious fins have been sliced away.
