why wy?

I can't always tell if someone is australian from their accent (the newsreaders on sbs sound transaltantic, sorta like our more British than Singapore anchors) but the latest terrorist video is pretty funny. It's thrown defense people in a panic because the masked man sounds australian. I can just imagine a terrorist with a singaporean (or malaysian chinese ha ha) accent, overseas singaporeans everywhere cringing in recognition. Of course, it is a universal law of physics that a singaporean accent is 10 times louder on foreign soil.

In business news, Telstra once again proves a fine shining example of greed. It made over $4 billion in profit last year but looks to retrench 1000 workers due to projected diminishing profits. And calls are still expensive. The bastards.

Greed part two:
A mobile phone company wanted to charge the parents of a teenager for breaking his handphone contract after he died following a long battle with multiple sclerosis. They waived it after the article was published in the papers.
