Five Hundred Thousand

I am inclined to agree with the state­ment of Siti Ami­nah Mah­mud who revealed her role in the issu­ance of 500,000 iden­tity cards with (the racist) bumi­putra status to illegal immig­rants in Sabah.

Possible One Month Hiatus

I will be off some­time today to con­tinue my thesis research in some secluded forest in Sabah until the end of Decem­ber.
