Between Xango and kopi-tiam...


An office-mate suffering from brain tumor claimed she managed to put off surgery just by taking Xango -- a mangosteen-extract juice. The US-formulated drink is said to have the right remedy to tackle cancer and many other illnesses.
Testimonials about the positive effect of Xango could be viewed from a number of its-related website.
Just as Xango is emerging steadily in the Malaysian market, coffee remains a favourite beverage. This could be seen with the growing number of 'Kopi-tiam' cafes operating under various brand chain in the country. Because of the wide interest in such outlets, the typical floral-designed kopi-tiam cup and saucer of yesteryears are making a comeback, perhaps as strong as coffee.

Aziz takes charge at Utusan ....



Utusan Malaysia reported today the appointment of Aziz Ishak as acting group editor-in-chief with Khalid Mohd going on a three-month leave tomorrow prior to retirement.
Forty-four year old Aziz has been with the newspaper for 24 years and made a big impact as a defence writer in his days of reporting.
We go a long way covering the political beat and the prime minister when Dr Mahathir was in office.

Despite his high position, Aziz remains down-to-earth.
When I phoned to congratulate him of his appointment, he told me that it was a temporary slot.
Well, I don't think so, bro. You're the man who's going to lead Utusan for years to come.
