The man says:
I don't care what people say about me.
I don't care how I will be remembered
I don't care if people will remember me
I don't care if they will forget me
I really don't care.
Yet, he gets angry over just a photo :
I think it was deliberately done
I was made to look like an idiot
I was taken in by Asiaweek magazine
I ...well...maybe I was tired...
I work almost 24 hours a day....!
Who cares, really?
================================
The man begins by defining Putrajaya:
"Putrajaya is the adminstrative capital...
"It will be the adminstrative seat for the leaders
of the future
"I hope they will never change the (adminstrative)
capital again."
Then suddenly (and desperately) Putrajaya
becomes a "township"(!):
"Why have critics not complained when the
Government developed other townships such
as Petaling jaya, Subang Jaya, Bandar Baru Nilai,
Shah Alam, Serang and Puchong (Star, 2.2.01)
"Development of townships is profitable and has
contributed a great deal to the country's economic
growth.
"Putrajaya is also a development project and
eventually, would generate profits like any other
housing project..(!)
Sad
Sorry
Slanted
State of mind...
