You kid me right? Formula 1 you say?

Why do I fear that the 1Malaysian Formula 1 team is just another excuse to burn money?

Is it just me or did you also go...what? Formula 1? Haven't they learnt their lessons yet? What is with these people any way? What is with the craze for the "biggest, tallest, first" and what other what have you not. Incredible I say.
At a time when the giants in the motor industry having pulled out like Honda and even BMW which is scheduled to withdraw at the end of the present race season, the decision by Malaysia seems simply incredulous to me. Absurd even. It is one thing to host a formula one race but to compete in one? Didn't we learn anything from the past? Remember Alex Choong, Petronas/Sauber and Magnum?
Anyway the other thing that really got my undies in a twist was the fact that the former MB from Selangor was supposedly "grilled" for a few hours by the MACC. I say big deal. My immediate thoughts were why didn't they question him during the hours of 7pm till lets say 3.45 am? Did they take away his handphone away? Did they say no lawyers allowed?
Anyway why the lack of "urgency" as in some other cases investigated by the MACC? Maybe the MACC will say here "this one different lah". The other case that person was a witness, here this person is a suspect. Don't ask me the difference and who makes the distinction and what procedures are put in place to determine "urgency".
On the issue of garlanding anyone with shoes or slippers.....I say if the shoe fits then wear it!
