Fun-e-ral 61 Posted September 8, 2018 19 minutes ago, Sir Creep said: WTH is a Menteri or a Besar? lol I'll investigate in a bit when I have time, for now work beckons.... n Malaysia, the Menteri Besar(Jawi:منتري بسر; literally "First Minister") is the head of government of each of nine states in Malaysia with hereditary rulers. For four states without a monarch, the title Chief Minister (Ketua Menteri) is used. The title 'Menteri Besar' is usually untranslated in the English media in Malaysia,[1]but is typically translated as 'Chief Minister' by foreign media.[2]According to protocol, all Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers are styled Yang Amat Berhormat (abbreviated YAB), which means "The Most Honourable".

No corroborating evidence just yet. However, the recent confirmation of the death of actor Robert Mandan came about a week after a tweet was sent by a friend noting his passing. http://ledzepnews.com/2018/06/17/director-peter-clifton-who-worked-on-the-song-remains-the-same-has-reportedly-died/ I see an obituary was finally printed a couple of weeks ago, confirming his death. https://www.smh.com.au/national/filmmaker-close-to-absolute-icons-of-rock-20180822-p4zyyn.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 15, 2018 1. Former governor of Oyo state, Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja has been reportedly rushed to the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, the capital of the state, over undisclosed ailment. Ladoja who is the leader of African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the state, was reported to have collapsed during a meeting he held in Ibadan to review the chance of the party in the next weeks gubernatorial election in Osun state. 2. Former Oyo State Governor, Rashidi Ladoja, has debunked the rumour that he was rushed to the University College Hospital, Ibadan, after allegedly collapsing in his house on Friday. An online news medium had reported that Ladoja collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. The former governor said he was hale and hearty after taking part in the campaign of the African Democratic Congress governorship torchbearer, Fatai Akinbade. He said, “The report is not true and we have contacted the peddler of the rumour. Ladoja was having political meeting at home when the report was seen online. He is healthy and carrying out his political activities at this time with vigour. He did not collapse and he was not rushed to any hospital. He travelled to Abeokuta and Osun on Thursday and returned in good health. We dismiss the rumour.” Where there's smoke....? SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
