How I missed my darling Dedione the highclass French poodle when I saw this!


IN LONDON NOW AND STAYING AT DATO NANCY YEOH'S SPIFFY FLAT AT CANARY WHARF, NOW THE NEW CENTRE OF BUSINESS AND FINANCE OF LONDON.

'WINTER WONDERLAND' IS LONDON'S GREATEST AND MOST FUN CHRISTMAS FAIR AND IT IS ALWAYS HELD AT HYDE PARK.

As I am a child at heart, I can never resist a Christmas fair, more so with all the trimmings! So Dato Nancy Yeoh and I duly took her 8 year old son Alex Quay to Winter Wonderland which is practically a mini Disneyland with all the rides, roast chestnuts booths and mulled wine bars.

Entry is free but the rides cost plenty money as we had to buy coupons at the 23 coupon booths scattered throughout the fairground. Each ride ranges from 3 to 5 coupons which is equivalent to L3 to L5 or RM 15 to RM 25!

The entire set-up must have come from Germany as most of the signages are in German and this entire fair feels very Germanic and continental rather than the traditional English fair. Even the recorded messages inside the rides are in German! However, language is not a problem as this is London and English rules supreme.

Christmas markets are huge in Europe, especially in Germany and Austria where German is spoken so I felt like I was in Europe at Winter Wonderland. We enjoyed ourselves so much we promised Alex we would return at least one more time if not twice before returning to KL.

I also met Riccardo from Italy who runs a jewellery stall and he actually gave me a jasper ring to my astonishment and to Dato Nancy's annoyance as he did not give her a ring but a discount on her ring, from L45 to L 35! We only stopped to have a look as Riccardo looked like a model as he was 183cm and handsome to a fault...like me.

As China will soon be the world's biggest economy, these German mushroom sellers are taking no chances with their message getting lost in translation

公告社会人士,

甲洞No. 38 Desa Jaya, Kepong 52100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia三宝寺主席YIP KUM FOOK律师,家住No. 2A & B, Jalan 53, Desa Jaya, Kepong, 52100, Kuala Lumpur, WP Kuala Lumpur其人实事是一个骗财骗色的大老千。早期他加入甲洞三宝寺時,利用他的歪念知識,横行霸道,迫走知道内情的和尚和会员, 自便到处欺骗,私吞三宝寺的钱财,还敢向警察报案说三宝进贼,帐记被偷,损失惨重的案件,事实是他私吞三宝寺的钱财,自盗毁灭,他知法犯法,贪意妄为的行径,的确令人震惊而愤怒,
他当任马华公会主席的時代,更坏事干尽, 恶名昭彰, 连破坏别人家庭之事,他也不手软,这不知羞耻的人 实事是民族的败数,佛教的叛徒。
最近 ,他又想借用三宝寺举辦30周年纪念及建观音殿,我们顾虑他重蹈过去的恶行, 所认特函公告社会善心人士,要谨慎,不要再被阴险笑裡藏刀的恶徒,继续欺骗,为害社会.
全国509大选,马华公会大败,其因马华公党内太多像 Yip Kum Fook 及 Yip Jiun Hann父子律师的领导層,行为缺德, 损人利己,高傲目大,不可一视,所引发人民不满的一部份,马华公会若想重振历史雄风, 类似以上的觉员必须清理,走入基層,否则免谈。
此致,并祝国泰民安。
马来西亚甲洞三宝寺会员敬啟
