With such a high profile of the IDR to attract foreign investors, Singaporeans inclusive, every body is watching for action of this police force.

My apologies for being too hasty.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you may be too young to know that the originator of the title, "Kids Say the Darndest Things' was not Bill Cosby but <A HREF="http://www.nndb.com/people/643/000022577/" REL="nofollow">Art Linkletter</A> as pointed out by <A HREF="http://goodmorningyesterday.blogspot.com/2006/06/precious-memories.html" REL="nofollow">the blogger</A>.Sleepless in Singaporehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927516918590494932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995604.post-5615305475926064302007-07-05T03:46:00.000+08:002007-07-05T03:46:00.000+08:00No, the title was not inspired by your blog post, ...No, the title was not inspired by your blog post, actually. It's an honest coincidence.<BR/><BR/>I first mentioned the title in an interview on 11 June 2006 with The New York Times in conjunction with <A HREF="http://lastcommunist.blogspot.com/2006/06/invite-to-talk-and-t-shirt-launch_09.html" REL="nofollow">the T-shirt launch</A> of my banned documentary The Last Communist.<BR/><BR/>Your first post with the similar title appeared 15 days after that. <BR/><BR/>True, the <A HREF="http://travel.nytimes.com/2006/07/09/movies/09lim.html" REL="nofollow">NYT article</A> only got published on 9 July 2006. Apparently these things take some time to get through fact-checkers and whatnot. <BR/><BR/>But the T-shirt launch is mentioned very clearly at the beginning of the piece, so you can tell that was when the interview was done. <BR/><BR/>And shouldn't we both acknowledge a debt to <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137313/" REL="nofollow">Bill Cosby</A>?Amir Muhammadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144421497045270238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995604.post-87355023502242272032007-07-04T17:31:00.000+08:002007-07-04T17:31:00.000+08:00Haze returned, not surprising, inspite of all the'...Haze returned, not surprising, inspite of all the'stewing around' of Asean politicians, trying their utmost best to solve the problem. Why? Please remember that the national past-time of Indonesia is wayang kulit and we should know who are the national experts of performing this intricated fine art. So many people are given false hope and taken for a nice merry-go-round ride to nowhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
