Barakah proposed in a REGULARISATION PLAN to issue 4 new shares at RM 0.2 for every outstanding share. They will collect enough money to pay salaries and office expenses for a year or two. Also, they will pay fees of a few millions for issuing shares, warrants, etc. This sure is a good plan as the management will have free money to use for 1-2 years, and also to pay bonuses, etc. However, after 2 years the exercise will have to be repeated. My proposal to management would be to get a new contract using Petronas licence and get funding through work.

Some relationships are just not worth saving, especially when the cost is too steep for one party. Such may be the case in the labor relations between the Philippines and Kuwait, the one-sided dynamics underscored once more when the Gulf state suspended last week the issuance of entry visas for Filipinos without prior notice nor explanation. The suspension order applies to tourists, students, business personnel, and first-time overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to Kuwait, but does not cover Filipinos currently holding residence visas (Iqama) or Kuwait civil IDs.

However, there is hope inside that Nunez will start justifying his €100m price-tag after last Sunday's two-goal blast at Newcastle. 'For us, that game (against Newcastle) goes in two directions," he told reporters. 'The two goals were absolutely exceptional. In the end it looked so easy. 'The first goal is not even a chance.
