2007

It was a fruitful holiday runaway to usher 2007 and the best thing is, I was almost disconnected for the past few days, hence no internet no emails and no depressing news to absorb.
By the time , I do realise that, if by all means, numerous occasions shown so far indicate a rocky start for year 2007.
End of 2006, Iraq ex-president Saddam Hussein was executed in a rush, which leaves the world questioning the fairness of his trial.
Next, Thailand’s capital Bangkok was hit by a series of bomb or grenade explosions ahead of ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations which killed three people and injured about 30 others, including at least eight foreigners.
Meanwhile, an Indonesian ferry with at least 600 aboard sank during a stormy night voyage between the islands of Borneo and Java, with hundreds killed. On Jan 1, a 17-year-old Boeing 737-400 Adam Air passenger plane flying from Surabaya to Manado with 96 passengers and six crew aboard crashes on Sulawesi island. No wreckage had been found at the supposed crash site, adding to the distress of relatives of those on board.
If there is the only thing to thrill me at the beginning of 2007, that must be the Made-in-Malaysia AirAsia for a possible low-cost alliance with the UK’s Easyjet and Virgin Group. If the plan to go through, Malaysia stands to benefit with the influx of tourists from Europe continent, hence helps to generate more revenue and boosts the ongoing Visit Malaysia Year 2007 campaign.
