The constantly changing order of the day


Hard times: In the past two months there have been three times (or was it more? I lose count) when millions of people have had no water because the supply had been polluted.

THEY weren’t kidding when they said when it rains it pours. Except that there was nothing pouring out of our taps but grief.

In the past two weeks there have been at least twice (or was it more? I lose count) when millions of people have had no water because the supply had been polluted or cut. In fact, one incident came so fast on the heels of another that people barely had time to shower in between. There must be a lot of smelly people in the Klang Valley these days through no fault of their own.
