Usually, news seldom bring laughter… but this one might just change your perception… taken from here…
28 July 2009 – Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has sought Malaysia’s assistance in tackling the problem of corruption besetting the east African nation.
Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the president expressed his concern over the problem, which affected not only Uganda but also its neighbours in Africa, during the discussion at the ongoing Global Smart Partnership dialogue, here.
“
In our session with heads of government earlier, I had the chance to discuss with them what has been done in Uganda and the President’s vision is to find a way to overcome the corruption problem”
“In fact, the president wanted our views on how to get rid of corruption. Many heads of government gave similar views because corruption is a universal problem,” he told Malaysian journalists covering the dialogue here Monday.
Muhyiddin was among the heads of government attending the 3 day dialogue, themed “Towards a Smarter Globe: The Smart Partnership Way For Realising Socio-economic Transformation Through Regional Integration.”
The dialogue is organised by the Commonwealth Partnership for Technology Management (CPTM) together with the host government. Previous dialogues had been held in Malaysia, Eastern Africa (Uganda), Southern Africa (Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho and Zambia, and the Caribbean (Barbados).
(Zewt got curious and googled this CPTM and found the homepage. Checkout the member countries)
Muhyiddin said that almost all the participating nations gave backgrounds of information on corruption.
“We, together with (former prime minister) Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and other leaders discussed how to address the problem. We shared our experience on how to do it the Malaysian way”
“What is important is for the people to realise the danger of corruption so that it will be seen as a disgusting practice,” he said.
Sharing the success stories of the Malaysian-Anti Corruption Commission (MACC), Muhyiddin said Malaysia was trying its best to put a stop to the problem.
“We just share knowledge, they don’t have to follow us,” he added.
Yes, some of us may laugh and perhaps give a few cynical remarks and ridicule this *can someone please suggest an adjective* article. But if we are to sit down and ponder on the bigger picture, it can quite a horrifying sight.
But since it’s Friday and weekend is here… let us just laugh… for the time being…
1 year ago… Live your best life
2 years ago… We really deserve it… Confession of a brave soul

I think someone should audit all the ministers and see how 'clean', 'humble' and 'poor' they are.
Happy weekend, ppl! :)
perhaps what the ugandan president meant by tackling the problem of corruption, was how to execute nationwide corruption while pulling wool over the peoples' eyes, which means he has sought the advice of the Master of the Game.

“If that (development) is what they want, we are ready to help but they must also be ready to help us,” Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin told reporters after launching the state-level Teachers’ Day celebration at the Sekolah Kebangsaan Manek Urai Baru here today.
