A PhD from Kualalampur

It is now 02:30 am. I again cannot sleep. It has been the case ever since I watched reformist's confession in the court.

I have another concern to lose sleep tonight. An old colleague who has been studying PhD in Malaysia since 7 years ago visited us in the office. He was explaining to us why he admires Ahmadinejad's Government. At first, we thought he was joking, but to our surprise, he was very much serious. In the beginning, our colleagues got mad but I could manage to calm them down and tried to open a logical discussion with him. I asked if he could name what exactly attracted him in Ninth administration. He replied the condition of poor people and rural dwellers is improved. I asked for his source of information. He replied, "I". Then again I asked: "Oh! Have you done any systematic research on this"? His response was negative. "Then how did you reach to this conclusion". I asked. He answered "my own observation". Then I continued, "but you have been away for long". He explained: "Anyway the news reach to us". I added it is not better to refer to some economist's learning. He said: "those economists are all Capitalist oriented and I do not approve them!???
