Weirdos

The bitch attacked Dw last weekend, attempted to bite him but lucky for him, his pants were thick enough to protect him that all the bitch succeeded was to make a small tear. Whatever drove the bitch to do that is probably she's nuts considering that she was unprovoked. Needless to say Dw was very very pissed and scolded the bitch. Who wouldn't? If it was anyone else, I think the police would have been called in and the bitch may have just been ordered to be put to sleep for irrational aggression.

What seems even nuttier is the bitch's owner actually scolded Dw for losing his temper, as in her words "she's only an animal" and had the awful cheek to come up to me to ask me to train Dw.. ??!!*@$%

So reminds me of a person I read about in an article a couple of weeks back in the ST -

ST: We saw a report quoting you as saying the government would take firm action to control fires only if the haze disrupted flights and sparked protests in Malaysia and Singapore.

Kaban: What I said was that this haze issue was being exaggerated domestically. Why are we ourselves making the noise? Even they (Singapore, Malaysia, other neighbours) are keeping quiet.

ST: But the haze has reached Malaysia, and to some extent Singapore. And some residents there have blamed Indonesia.

Kaban: There are also hot spots in Sabah and Sarawak.It is a matter of what direction the wind is blowing in. They need to base it on an investigation to say the haze came from Indonesia.

ST: How about Singapore, which is near Riau?

Kaban: Like I said, it depends on what direction the wind is blowing.

ST: What is the government doing to try and reduce the forest fires?

Kaban: That (task) is technically under the domain of the regional governments. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has told regional governments to act fast.
Don't ask the central government to do everything. The central government is only helping. The national police have sent helicopters. The Forestry Ministry also has permanent teams working on the ground.

ST: What is your advice for people in Sumatra and Kalimantan?

Kaban: People need to be assisted by the regional governments. They need to be given adequate tools so they will not do slash and burn... There are a few success examples like the one in Oki area in South Sumatra.

ST: Must we wait for protests from abroad and flight delays before doing anything?

Kaban: It shouldn't be like that. Like I said, it is mainly the responsibility of the regional governments.

*%#@*! What's Up with these PEOPLE?!!!
