Apparently, based on a former flight planner’s calculation, it would cost additional US$66 (£48.70, RM209.60) per paying passenger for the […]
... written on Jul 21 2014Last night, Britain’s prime minister David Cameron surprised many by launching a massive brutal reshuffle since becoming Tory leader. More than a dozen old yet experienced ministers, including veteran Kenneth Clarke, Welsh Secretary David Jones , Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, Attorney General Dominic Grieve and leader of the Commons Andrew Lansley were either axed or forced […]
... written on Jul 15 2014RHB was incorporated in 1983 by Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Hussain. That was more than 30 years ago. Many of our readers were not even born yet.

... written on Jul 13 2014Argentina made it to the 2014 FIFA World Cup final, thanks to the team’s goolkeeper Sergio Romero, stopping two penalties and sending the only South American representative to a 4-2 victory.

... written on Jul 01 2014Your signature is unique and central to your identity. Signature is such a powerful symbol representing your life that some fortune tellers would tell you to change your signature style if you want to gain success or fame.

... written on Jun 28 2014Roads were empty while thousands of pubs were filled to brim. It was a do or die match for England against Uruguay, a team that England have never beaten before at the World Cup. While England was hoping Rooney could score, or at least make himself useful, Uruguay was delighted that Luis Suarez returned to […]
... written on Jun 20 2014Spain is toast, out, history, kaput. The defending champion of 2010 FIFA World Cup and 2012 Euro Cup is out in the very first round of the present 2014 FIFA World Cup.
