Memories in better health

Is the shifting political landscape in Malaysia and strange bedfellows political strategies, a temporary sickness or a long-lasting shift? 

Many people seem to have been sick recently, myself included. I had a short fever followed by an un­plea­sant bout of bronchitis, caused probably by the shifts in weather (from hot to rainy to hazy) in recent weeks combined with an over-consumption of veiny mandarin oranges over the Chinese New Year pe­­riod, exacerbating irritation in the throat.
