Present Day

East Ukraine, the epicenter of present crisis between Russia and Ukraine, the USA Allies i.e. Canada, UK, Europe and Japan. Sanctions on 5 Russians banks, 3 of Putin's cronies and oligarchs by UK Govt yesterday added more tension followed by the USA. Note that Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014 and became Republic of Crimea which then added to federal subjects of Russia in favor of most Crimeans in that region who are pro Russia. The people of Luhansk and Donetsk are at risk. The world equity markets have fallen but the prices of oil remain high due to the impending war. It will be intriguing to watch how this will play out in the coming weeks or months.

Behind The Scene

Pudu Prison, once the cell of the notorious Wong Swee Chin aka Botak Chin until the day of his execution, is now Bukit Bintang City Centre or Lalaport which has been developed by UDA and Ecoworld Bhd. It boasts 7 storey of shopping mall - Japanese lifestyle. It was officially opened on Thursday 20/1/2022. Many quarters have stories to tell about this eerie prison site. Moreover, the spot is deemed to be among the most haunted in this country, just you should know...scary eh? 👻 but I guess our Japanese counterpart is already accustomed to ghostly encounters as it created scenes like the Ring, Dark Water, Grudge etc...gee wiz!
