There are still people who earn RM380 a month and they are employed by major corporations. “If we are looking at whether we are earning enough to afford the basic needs — nutrition, living quarters, education, transport and healthcare — then the 40 per cent earning less than RM1,500 a month are definitely not getting enough,” says an economist.

TEE-HEE-HEE... AS HE LAUGHS ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK Former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, arrives for a television interview at the Irish RTE studios in Dublin, Ireland, on September 3, 2010.

"A Journey", Blair's account of his decade in Downing Street from 1997 to 2007, also includes an unprecedented attack on his "strange" successor Gordon Brown, whose premiership he branded a disaster. -- Picture by AFP/ Peter Muhly
