I'm sure you all have heard or read about the big brou-ha-ha involving the privatisation of billboard advertising in Selangor. well, unless of course you've been living under a shell all this time : / However, i will forgive you if you're not a native Bandaraya Petaling Jaya. for the benefit of all my reader's out there. which i'm sure will only come up to 2 people if i'm lucky, :/The Menteri Besar of Selangor, Dr Khir Toyo has been under fire from the people of Selangor, or more like the reporters from the Sun and lately the Sultan of Selangor himself for what he said and *gasp* what he did. He is said to have allowed a company, Bernam Kiara which *allegedly* is a partnership between a Selangor football player and a few other guys to monopolize the Selangor outdoor advertising market. So now the blame game starts. Our dear MB says he has no idea of the deal. A few days later, he retracted what he said earlier and now he says that its his deputy or whoever beneath him who was the one who signed the contract. he had no part of it. :/
