Smokers will not be appointed as District Council members.

This one, I totally agree. I'm not even talking politics but I'll say full mark to what the MB did. Someone has to take unpopular decision to protect the many non-smokers.


No smoker get appointed as Councillor

KOTA BAHARU, Jan 8 (Bernama) - The Kelantan government will not appoint smokers as members of district councils or local authorities in the state.

Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat said the move was among efforts to inculcate discipline among leaders of government agencies in Kelantan.

"Since the party (PAS) does not pick smokers as candidates, we (the state) will not appoint smokers as members of district councils or local authorities," he told reporters after presenting letters of appointment to members of local authorities here Tuesday.

"I will not pick smokers as district councillors. The same goes for election candidates unless, I don't know about it," he said.

Earlier, Nik Aziz rebuked some PAS leaders and supporters who smoke in public while wearing skullcaps to portray their image as Muslims.

"Their action is akin to someone who wave pistol in public although he doesn't have licence for it," he added.

$1 million lottery winner poisoned!

Is this a case of being lucky or UNLUCKY? There is definitely nothing plausible about winning a million dollar for this American!


Chicago Lottery Winner Poisoned to Death

CHICAGO: Not long after winning a US$1 million jackpot with a scratch-off lottery ticket, a Chicago man was poisoned with cyanide, officials said Monday.

Urooj Khan, 46, had planned to use the money to pay off bills and invest in his dry cleaning business. Instead, he was poisoned, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said, adding that it had classed his death as a homicide.

Khan was accompanied by his wife, their daughter and several friends when he accepted an oversized check from Illinois lottery officials on June 26.

He described his initial reaction in a press statement:

“I scratched the ticket, then I kept on saying, ‘I hit a million!’ over and over again. I jumped two feet in the air, then ran back into the store and tipped the clerk  100.” The Chicago Tribune reported that his family was suspicious when he died less than a month later of what was originally ruled to be natural causes.

The medical examiner agreed to reopen the case and found he had died of “cyanide intoxication,” a spokeswoman for his office told AFP.

Funny for the day: IDA and the FROG

An older lady named Ida was somewhat lonely since her cat died and decided she needed another pet to keep her company. So, off to the pet shop she went. She searched and searched. None of the pets seemed to catch her interest, except this ugly frog. As she walked by the jar he was in, she looked and he winked at her.

He whispered, 'I'M SO LONELY, TOO. BUY ME AND TAKE ME HOME.. YOU WON'T EVER BE SORRY.'

Ida figured, what the heck!
She hadn't found anything else. 

So she bought the frog. 

She placed him in the car, on the front seat beside her. 

As she was slowly driving down the road,

the frog whispered to her:

'KISS ME AND YOU WON'T BE SORRY..'!

 So, Ida figured, WHAT THE HECK, and kissed the frog.

IMMEDIATELY the frog turned into 
an absolutely gorgeous, sexy, young, handsome prince.

THE PRINCE THEN RETURNED IDA'S KISS.

SUDDENLY IDA FELT HERSELF

TRANSFORMING FROM HIS KISS. 
NOW, 

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT IDA TURNED INTO?

COME ON GUESS!
