New Word Dictionary : murder they wrote ... Altantuya
Cambridge Learners' Dictionary has reportedly coined a new word to catch up with the times. Cambridge announced the publication of 3 dictionaries for Malaysian markets. Some of the new words approved by Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka included the word "Altantuya". Many Malaysians are familiar with the highly publicised and bizzare murder of a Mongolian model and translator who was linked to the PM Najib. But sources said that the PM Najib is likely to ban these publications and pull out any dictionaries that are already on the shelves of book stores.
Altantuya : 1. to commit murder by the use of C4 explosive. 2. To plan to execute someone in order to silence him/her. 3. To plot to kill to avoid being harrassed or ransomed. 4. To get away with murder by having others do the dirty work for you. 5. To stay in power by whatever means possible.
The veracity of the above information remains unconfirmed to date because I don't live in Malaysia and there is likely to be more coverups and denials by the perpetrators!

Travellers' Tales - unique cultures of countries - Mexico
I received these pictures in the email from a relative. The source is unknown.
Alfresco food outlets are packed during lunch time. Many resort to using tissue paper packs and umbrellas to reserve their seats while they order the food. No guarantee that the seat won't be taken but it's better than not trying at all.
