My Pets - free and not so free

Over the years, we kept some pets... fish, dog, etc. Then, we also have "visitors" who may got themselves temporarily caged.
I called this free ranging birds my pet since will will freely come into my house and help themselves to whatever food it can find. Otherwise, they will happily sit around branches just outside the house.
This free ranging iguana wondered into the wrong house and got itself caged! This fellow is about a foot long but don't underestimate iguana, it is quite clever. It definitely knows how to escape from the cage!
 
This iguana was about three feet long and it also came to the wrong place and got itself temporary imprisoned. We set it free after a few months. Iguanas are perfect tree climber. Their claws are sharp and can latch itself to branches without problem. This species are not local but came from Central America.
Ok, my puppy. I have two of these very cute puppies to be given away. If you think you can look after them, please give me a message on 012 878 2007.

Illegal business activities and corruption exposed ...

Taib Mahmud recent video expose made by an international NGO, Global Witness.

The video showed in details how corruption and illegal activities are being carried out.

A lawyer friend told me yesterday that this is a case that cannot be denied. And he laughed! The lawyer who spoke in the video is exposing something really serious!

I like the closing remark made by CM, pointing to his head, "Over 30 years, anybody can get rich if they have something up there! But if they don't have it, there is nothing we can do!" What an arrogant comment! So, if you are not striking rich by the time you are say, 40 or 50, you have nothing up there, ie, 90+% of the population are stupid.
The next video is the comment by Transparency International Josie M. Fernandez on Corruption in Sarawak

Click here to go and sign a petition asking for a commission of inquiry be set up into corruption in Sarawak.

... And this is the response from Taib about Global Witness video:
