Need a joke

Have been going through a bit of tiring and stressful times.

Definitely could do with a bit of joke, like something HERE.

The Tourism Ministry blundered by starting construction work on a RM3.4 million tour jetty complex at Sungai Pinang in Jelutong in 2005.

The project under the Eighth Malaysia Plan, if completed, could have been the joke of the century because the Drainage and Irrigation Department had classified Sungai Pinang as Level 5 river or "dead river". Sungai Pinang is one of the most polluted river in Asia.


And the reply from the minister:

The planners made a mistake when deciding to construct the tour jetty without taking a look at what really is available at the site. They just plan to construct the jetty without even going to the river just because they have the money to do it...


I am no civil engineer, ... does it mean to say a jetty is built away from the river? Who employed and supervised such smart planners?

And the best part is, nobody needs to be accountable for it. There goes your taxpayer's money... down the river.
