Deja vu? Deja vu!

I was down with food poisoning last Tuesday, and down with fever (due to a throat infection) yesterday? DEJA VU?

And in today's Star Online (9th August 2006):

Bids for seized cars open to all

KUALA LUMPUR: Politicians and senior civil servants will no longer be allowed to buy cars confiscated by the Customs Department.

With immediate effect, the Government has scrapped this practice used by the Customs since 2000, to make the process of disposing of such seized vehicles more transparent.

Parliamentary Select Committee on Integrity chairman Tan Sri Bernard Dompok said the move was also to curb power abuse and restore the integrity of the department.

This came about after the controversy over the discretionary powers the Customs used to make such offers to politicians and senior civil servants.

Dompok said the committee met with Finance Minister II Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop who agreed to the proposal to stop the special privileges.

“He agreed to the proposal and the measure was introduced immediately. The Customs had been informed,” said Dompok.

So when will the next auction be held? Time for the rakyat to say "CHEAP CONTINENTAL CARS HERE WE COME!" WOOHOO!
