When I first spotted the UCSI ad (p N21) on December 18 in the Star newspaper, I blinked my eyes twice and then I opened my mouth in yawning disbelief.
The said university are offering a colossal RM700 million worth of scholarships! And if you believe this, then pigs can fly!
Yes, a snowball’s chance in hell. Of course, the university got caught with their pants down. And so they had to retract this jumbo claim and eat humble pie by coming out with an apology – a quarter-page ad in the Star, December 22, 2010, p N37 – clarifying that they are only intending to allocate RM7 million in 2011. A massive step down!
Locally, UCSI University is known for being recklessly daring in many of the things they do, and this is just another one of their boastful ploys.
Celtic squandered away their chances and could only manage a 1-1 draw against in-form Kilmarnock.
The former dominated the first half but just could not find a breakthrough. And then in the fifty-third minute, the Killies scored. Thankfully, Thomas Rogne headed Celtic level with six minutes remaining but neither side could grab a winner.
I just read that Rafa Benitez (left) has been given the boot – his contract at San Siro was abruptly terminated. And so, his just over 6-month reign at Inter Milan is over.
He should have stayed with Liverpool but he got too arrogant.
