1999-01-23 An Open House of festivities, gluttony, political uncertainties

Forty thousand Malaysians turned up at the prime minister's Hari Raya Open House; thirty thousand at the new deputy prime minister's; fifteen thousand at the ousted deputy prime minister's. The only certainty in these figures is the exaggeration. It is inconceivable that 40,000 could have packed into Seri Perdana at the rate of 4,000 an hour -- assuming each visitor spend about 30 minutes before leaving for home. The same arguments hold true for the visits at Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's and Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's. But we have a honourable tradition of exaggerating figures. The millionth visitor to an exhibition at Muzium Negara was given goodies worth tens of thousands of ringgit. The only problem here was that if visitors had entered the muzium ten abreast and walking straight out, the million visitors could not have been reached even if the muzium was open round the clock.

 About 

This archive was created as a tribute to the late veteran journalist MGG Pillai. We believed his writings are useful to develop a critical thinking analysis. By the way, the original mggpillai.com web site (2001-2006) was actually created by one of us.
