o.o Reputation smeared?

Imagine my surprise when Yi Ling told me to go visit the Malay Mail webbie today.

Actually I wasn't really surprised, but let's just take a further look...

In case you didn't know, that's our next door neighbour. Our brotherly brothers of St John's Institution. Next.


I clicked on the pic, and this is what I saw:
St Johns' under ACA investigation


KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 - One of the country’s premier schools, the St John’s Institution, is under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) and the Ministry of Education over RM150,000 allegedly ‘missing’ from the school’s funds. More...


Interesting...*click*


You go and read the article yourself, I'm not gonna post here. :K


Well, I'm not really surprised at the level of corruption in our country. That's probably why we're still a 'third-world country'. :o( But in St Johns? That's a little...I dunno, surprising and sad. They're our neighbours after all, must have some 'neighbourly love' maaa...;o)


I have also wondered if MY school had corrupt officials. You know la, all the fund-raisers. Jogathon, Malam Kenangan Silam and all...where on earth did the money go to? And the Majalah Sekolah does not take RM10 to print, you know. Money go -poof!-.


Well that WAS what I thought until they got us the computers (which were really chapalang, btw, and was actually donated by some Datuk's wife) and started to rebuild the Nazareth.


No thanks though, I don't really want to use computers that may crash when if you nudge the CPU with your toe, and study in a building that supposedly has ghosts of beheaded people there. O.o


Well, as they always say, 'better him then me'. So CBN's name is still preserved. *smug grin* Now if only the feature on the front page were another school *cough*SBU*cough*...I'd feel slightly better. :o)


Now before anyone flames me, I AM PROTECTED BY THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. So nyeh to you too.:P


...or is that only in America?
