Not a bad idea to call in for help if help is needed (my experience suggests that indeed, help is needed).
Nurin is a good start. But why didn’t they call in for the FBI in the equally gruesome and horrific murder of Altantuya?
Ever observant mom just pointed it out at lunch. She’s getting sharp!
Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.

Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.

Egoistic, cock-sure Nazri seems to [...]
