The Mugabe example
A Canadian company has been refused a quota renewal
for a non-resident specialised workers employed in its
local office for three years. How many workers does
the credit machines’ company have inside the casinos?
One. The company now has to close its office or train a
local employee, if any local workers are interested that
is. We wish them luck - considering that local workers
often don’t care for doing some jobs or have no talent
for specialised positions.

Don’t worry Hong Kong
The entertainment industry in Hong Kong has repeated its
plea to its government that a smoking ban set to come into
effect July 1 could force closure of half their businesses. Anita
To Miu-yu, executive secretary of Hong Kong Bars & Karaoke
Rights Advocacy group, said the ordinance will drive local
customers to nearby cities such as Shenzhen and Macau. Well,
worry about Shenzhen Anita. The way things are going here,
either we will stop your customers getting in in the first place
because they might disturb our
secular tranquillity, or we
will kick them out because
we fear they can use the
smoking as an excuse to

bread out of our childrens’
