A NOVEL WRITTEN BY SADDAM HUSSEIN

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese readers looking for a slightly different tale can now curl up with "Get Out of Here, Curse You" -- a novel by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
The book, believed to have been written on the eve of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and titled "Devil's Dance" in its Japanese translation, hit stores around the nation on Friday.
Jordan banned the book on the grounds it could damage ties with Iraq, but pirated copies of the tale of an Arab tribesman who defeats foreign invaders became a bestseller in Amman.
The original manuscript was smuggled out of Iraq by one of Saddam Hussein's daughters, Raghad, and a copy given to Japanese journalist and translator Itsuko Hirata.
"The novel is dated to the times of ancient tribal society but the tribal warfare depicted in the novel is strikingly similar to what happened and is happening in the Iraqi war -- totally," Hirata told Reuters before the book's release.
"He (Saddam) knew he was heading into a war he couldn't win, so I think with this book he was trying to make his position clear and send a message to the Iraqi people."
Among the chapters are those titled "The Foreigner Who Sold the Tribes," "Retaliatory Tactics" and "The Burning of the Twin Towers," although Hirata said this did not specifically refer to the World Trade Centre buildings attacked on September 11, 2001.
Saddam, now on trial for war crimes, was credited with writing several other novels but Iraqi writers and intellectuals said after his overthrow the books were written by a committee.
Hirata believes the current novel, issued in a cover patterned with violets, was written by Saddam and has a melodic clarity to it that suggests it could be adapted to the stage.
"I really think this book should be made into a musical," she said. "And once this is done, it should play in the heart of his enemy's country, on Broadway."
Koichi Chikaraishi, editor-in-chief at publisher Tokuma Shoten, said they decided to issue the book because it was a historical curiosity.
"People here don't think Saddam is totally bad, as they do in places like America, so there are people who will be interested in hearing his side of the story," he said, adding that he wasn't sure how it would sell.

THIERRY HENRY

The Frenchman had been linked with a summer switch to Barcelona, who came from behind to beat Arsenal in Wednesday's Champions League final in Paris, but has opted to pledge his future to the north London club.

"I'm staying here with the club that I love," he said.
"It's been amazing since I joined the club. It did cross my mind to leave but I think with my heart and my heart told me to stay.

"Seven years ago Arsene Wenger signed me and without him and David Dein I would not be here now.
"In the past year the love the fans have shown me has been amazing. Although we lost on Wednesday I decided that I couldn't let them down by leaving.
"I can't forget about the love from the Arsenal fans and sometimes from fans at other clubs. It's difficult to leave a country like England because the fans are so passionate and the stadiums are full all the time.
"The team's display on Wednesday showed me that we can be proud of what we did and how far I can go with this team.
"We are a team of heart and a lot of quality, even though we lost.
"I wanted to concentrate on beating Tottenham and clinching fourth spot and playing in the Champions League final before I made my mind up, but eventually it was a quick decision for me."

Match Report

Champions League Final
Stade de France
Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 7.45pm


Barcelona 2 : Eto`o 77, Belletti 81
Arsenal 1 : Campbell 37

By Richard Clarke in Paris

It was just not to be.
Arsenal’s journey to the Champions League Final had been based on bravery, artistry and youthful endeavour. They displayed those qualities again on a dramatic night at the Stade de France but, with the trophy within their grasp, found their path blocked by a mighty Barcelona side.
In a few days time, Arsène Wenger’s side will be able to puff out their chests with pride at their performance in the first ever final in Europe’s top competition. They played with 10 men for 72 minutes after Jens Lehmann was sent off in the early stages then took the lead eight minutes before the break when Sol Campbell nodded home a free-kick.
For much of the second half it seemed like this impossible mission would be accomplished. Barca had all the pressure but Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg had chances to finish the argument.
However, 14 minutes from time, Samuel Eto’o struck home from an acute angle on one side and soon afterwards substitute Juliano Belletti fired home in similar circumstances on the other.
There would be no way back.
The air was thick with equal measures of ambition and anxiety in the hours before kick-off. Inside the stadium, a small army of media men prepared to carry news of this historic game out to the world. Outside, there were thousands more fans — some in yellow, some in red and blue — all of them ready to drink deep from the atmospheric well this evening.
To put it simply, it was the biggest game Arsenal had ever played.
Wenger stuck with his tried and tested European formation. It was a 4-5-1 with Alexander Hleb and Ljungberg pushing forward to support Henry, the lone striker. At the back, Campbell got the nod over Philippe Senderos.
Within the first 180 seconds Henry could have scored twice. First he cushioned a well-timed pass into the area by Emmanuel Eboue past his marker, Rafael Marquez, to give himself a point-blank shot at goal just eight yards out. Barca keeper Victor Valdes was quick off his line blocked the French striker’s shot with his leg. The ball ricocheted away for a corner. It was played short to Henry on the left of the area and his vicious, low shot nearly surprised Valdes at the near post.
The opening salvos were coming from Arsenal and the London fans sensed it. If their side were to sing a tuneful song tonight then Henry would the conductor and the captain seemed to have the baton in his hand in the early stages.
In the ninth minute Ludovic Giuly escaped from Ashley Cole and stung Lehmann’s hands. Soon afterwards, Ronaldinho sent a free-kick just wide. It was a ‘sighter’ and there would be surely more from him this evening.
And so it proved.
In the 17th minute, the Brazilian cleverly sent Eto’o through against an Arsenal defence that had found itself too square on. The Cameroon striker raced forward and has appeared to have skipped past Jens Lehmann only to see his trailing leg caught by the German. The ball ran on and Giuly planted it into the empty net.
It appeared to be a goal but amid the din referee Terje Hauge had blown for the original foul. Play would be pulled back for a free-kick right on the line of the penalty area. However the foul meant Lehmann had to see red. The 36-year-old held his head in his hands at the sight of the card.
It was a correct decision but a truly sad one aswell given Lehmann’s immense contribution to Arsenal’s season. Perhaps even unluckier was Pires, who was substituted to make way for substitute keeper Manuel Almunia. The Spaniard, who had been excellent himself when required his season, survived an immediate scare when play finally restarted as Ronaldinho whistled another free-kick just wide.
It was, of course, a pivotal moment and Arsenal struggled to recover.
But history has proved that this side should not underestimated. In the 37th minute, Eboue roared up the right and was felled by Carles Puyol. Henry took the free-kick and Campbell ghosted in front of Oleguer to flick a header into the net at the far post.
Half of the stadium exploded in noise and colour. The other half was stunned into silence.
In the minutes that followed Barca’s swagger had a certain urgency about it. Could they really throw it away from such a position of strength? However they still had Ronaldinho and the Brazilians was still pulling the strings like a puppeteer.
In first half injury time he nudged the ball into Eto’o in the corner of the area. The striker swivelled past Campbell and sent a shot fizzing toward the goal. Almunia narrowed the angle and got a fingertip on the ball to deflected it on to the post.
An incredible save and one that made you think this might just not be Barca’s night.
The Catalans flew at Arsenal at the start of the second half. Ronaldinho continued to sparkle and tested Almunia with a couple of efforts from distance. In driving rain, the tide was unremittingly one-way. But it seemed Arsenal’s dam has been well-built.
It seemed that Barca had run out of ideas and, if anything, Arsenal were stretching them more and more. Henry fired wastefully at Valdes when put clear, Hleb thumped a shot wide and Ljungberg forced the Spanish international keeper to tip acrobatically over the bar when the Swede had wriggled himself into some space on the left of the area.
On the hour, Barca manager Frank Rikjaard brought on Henrik Larsson for the ineffective Mark van Bommel. The Swedish striker’s introduction was to prove pivotal. In the 76th minute he cushioned a perfect ball for Eto’o to race through and fire home from an acute angle. Five minutes later the Swede laid on the pass for Belletti to thump home a shot that cannoned into the net off the ankle of Almunia.
Arsenal tried their best to raise themselves but, tired and outnumbered, their tanks was empty.
The full whistle saw the opposite reaction to the opening goal. This time the red-and-blue half of the pitch was ecstatic and the yellow side stunned. But the Arsenal supporters soon roused themself through song. It was the least their side deserved on the night.
Fortunately this young team will come again and every Arsenal fan can be proud of their team this evening.
As I said early, after the disappointment has died, a certain satisfaction will take its place. Next season we will have the Emirates Stadium and, thank heaven, another opportunity in this great competition.
But, for tonight at least, we must console ourselves with the thought that it was just not to be.

FUNNY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HEALTH AND EXERCISE

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it...don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: H ow can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good.

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: H E L L O O O O ...... Cocoa beans ... another vegetable!!! It's the best feel good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Excuse Me !!!! Isn't 'Round' a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. Now go have a biscuit...flour is a veggie!

SPORTS:

BUENOS AIRES: Juan Roman Riquelme is the quiet man of Argentinian football who is aiming to be the World Cup’s big noise.Four years after being left out of Argentina’s 2002 squad, the 27-year-old playmaker is now the pivotal figure in Jose Pekerman’s side, his languid forays from midfield invariably wreaking havoc in opposition defences.His modest demeanour is legendary in Argentina, where he enjoyed superstar status after rising to prominence during seven seasons at Boca Juniors that included a brief spell alongside his hero Diego Maradona.But despite being idolised by Boca’s fans, Riquelme eschews the spotlight and the trappings of celebrity, a trait that was accentuated by the kidnapping of his younger brother in early 2002.That incident — his brother was released after Riquelme’s family paid a US$160,000 (about RM576,000) ransom — left the midfielder shaken and later played a part in persuading him to sign for Spanish giants Barcelona.Leaving Boca was a huge wrench for Riquelme, who had already turned down several offers of a big-money move to Europe in order to stay with the club he had supported since childhood."I never wanted to leave Boca," said Riquelme, in a recent interview with British magazine FourFourTwo. "The love from the Boca fans made me happy and my only aim was to play in the Boca strip. Then I went through a very difficult time when my relationship with the club deteriorated."Around the same time my brother was kidnapped and that made me feel the time had come to move. It was a bad time. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody." Riquelme’s move to Barcelona was not the end of the nightmare however.Soon after reporting for duty at the Nou Camp he was told by then coach Louis Van Gaal that he did not want him, and that his signing had been made on the orders of the club’s president.Frozen out of the action, Riquelme lost his place in the first team and after a disappointing season was heading for the exit.Salvation came in the shape of a loan move to unfashionable Villarreal, who wasted no time in building their team around him.He has since flourished, making the move permanent and helping the Spanish side reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.Though his campaign ended in disappointment when he missed a last-minute penalty against Arsenal that would have forced extra-time, he was the undoubted star of the ’Yellow Submarines’ run to the last four."Riquelme’s a kind of quarter-back," was Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger’s appraisal. "He’s always able to slow the game down and wait for a weak moment to kill you." Villarreal team-mate Marcos Senna says Riquelme’s great talent is his positional play, which more than makes up for a distinct lack of pace."You think he’s only moving at 10kph, and then suddenly there he is in the right place as he’s moving at 80," said Senna. "He’s one of the best in the world — a real pleasure to play with." — AFP

THE EXPENSIVE PRICE OF MINERAL WATER IN MALAYSIA


The issue that I choose for my issue is ‘The expensive price of mineral water’. The mineral water price problem had become a serious issue in our country since the price of mineral water is more expensive compared with our petrol price.

What is mineral water? Mineral water is water, which has high level of dissolved minerals (electrolytes). These minerals are acquired naturally by the route the water takes to reach the aquifer where it is found. Mineral water is considered healthier for you than R/O filter or deionised water because it provides the body with various electrolytes and the fluid necessary for proper body functions.

Mineral water is good because it becoming the preferred method of balancing the electrolyte balance in the body. The mineral water not only replenish the necessary balance of minerals and the water that body loses naturally through everyday activities, it also beneficial in increasing the body of various toxins and breakdown waste materials.

Mineral water also have a taste and it taste is associates with several qualities of mineral water. The taste of mineral water should not be objectionable and it should have a clean, fresh taste.
The mineral water composition inside the mineral water is different refer to the amount of mineral water. For the 600 ml mineral water, the composition is like this: -

Ø Calcium 4.2mg/l
Ø Potassium 5.3mg/l
Ø Magnesium 4.1mg/l
Ø Bicarbonate 89 mg/l
Ø Chloride 10 mg/l
Ø Sulphate 4.5mg/l
Ø Natrium 4.4mg/l
Ø pH 7.2
Ø total dissolved solid 180mg/l


Mineral water can be used for preparing meal instead of using natural water supply at our house but it can cause a slight difference in term of our food taste. But mineral water is really healthy especially in preparing vegetables because it helps prevent leaching of minerals and gives a livelier fresher taste.

Complaint about the mineral water price, which is too expensive, and burden the consumer, especially for people those live in the Klang Valley area. This problem arise when people realize the increasing price of mineral water that really burden themselves because it is a basic needs for people to live.

The main objective here is to determine why the price of mineral water is too expensive. I hope that by doing this research and observations about this problem it can solve the problem that most of the Klang Valley people face right now.

These are two-problem statement that I found after doing my research;

Retailer sold the 500ml mineral water with price RM 1.00-2.00 per bottle
Hotel operator sold with higher price which is RM 4.50-5.00 for each 500ml per bottle


The price above shows that our mineral water price is totally expensive because the price of water is quite expensive,compared with our petrol price, which is RM 1.92 per 1000ml.

The analysis that I found for these problems are: -


Price

Manufacturer price for 500ml mineral water is RM 0.37-0.41 but the retailer sell it for RM 1.00-2.00 depend on the location of the retail outlet

If the mineral water price that sell in sundry shops or supermarket is cheaper compared with the price of mineral water, which sold at Puduraya or any petrol station shop. The price of mineral water that sells in supermarket is only RM 0.80 compared with the price at Puduraya that is RM 1.50 for 500ml mineral water.

From my observation, the reason why Puduraya sell this mineral water with a high price because of the demand, which come from the people, which use the Puduraya. Usually this people are the bus user, besides the taxi rider and the bus driver.

The hotel operator sell the 500ml mineral water for RM4.50 to RM5.00 depends on the hotel services or charges. The price is more expensive because of their customer (people who stay at the hotel) do not have any other place to buy this mineral water except at their café. The people who stay at the hotel can afford to buy it eventhough the price is too expensive.


Customer

Customer feel burden because of the expensive price of water
This issue happen because of the highly demand on mineral water, especially in the Klang Valley area because of the poor quality of direct water supply at home
People have to buy mineral water for their drink because they cannot use the water supply at their house as a drinking water
As we know the Klang valley area faces a big problem regarding with the quality of water supply at their housing area. This problem arise because of the management of the water company did not have enough budget to change the pipe that supply water to the housing area that aged more than 50 years.
The cost of changing the new pipe is costly. Some of the water that being treated is used for another purpose like for the industrial used and water theft that caused a lost for the water company.
When people used the mineral water as a substitute to their drinking water, the retailers that sell the mineral water take an advantage to increase the price because they can get a high profit by selling the mineral water.



ACTION TAKEN:

Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs had taken an action towards this problem. The hotel operator must submit a report regarding their sale of mineral water at their premises which been found too expensive.
Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumers Affairs want a fast action regarding with this issue because mineral water now is become a necessity to the people.

Government had ask the manufacturer and the retailer to follow the recommended retail price which is RM 0.85 for 500ml mineral water and for 1.5 l should cost RM 1.20

The cap of mineral water and drinking water must be standardized and different between each other. Mineral water cap should be in blue colour whereas the drinking water is in white colour.



RECOMMENDATION:

People can make a complaint or report to the Consumer Tribunal if any parties, like the retailer make any fraud to them because as a consumer they have their own right to make sure that they get what suppose they should get
Besides that they can bring this kind of issue into media like TV and newspapers to protect their right



CONCLUSION:


This problem had being discussed over the media but the price of mineral water still expensive because there is no enforcement by the government towards this problem
The price of mineral water still the same at the petrol retail outlet or even at the Puduraya which sell 500ml mineral water for RM1.50 where they supposed to sell it at RM 0.85-1.00
The expensive price of mineral water will not happen if people can use direct water supply as their drink

To find your love attitude number, add your birth month and your birth date together.
Keep reducing it until it's a single digit.

Example:
>>>January 28
>>>1+28 = 29
>>>2+9 = 11
>>>1+1 = 2;
>>>your love attitude number is 2.


Read on below to find out what your love style is supposed to be. If your number is:

>>>One
You are charming imaginative and independent. Usually your style is ahead of others; you know what's in and what's way out. Sometimes you're a little too aggressive when it comes to pursuing a love interest. You have a way of drawing attention wherever you go, and this dramatic flair usually attracts the strongest guys. Your competitive nature either draws or repels guys/gals...but those who can't handle your p! ower aren't your types any way. At times you can be possessive, manipulating and demanding with your friends and in love relationships. You like guys/gals with lots of intelligence... and knock-'em-dead good looks don't hurt either.

>>>Two
Your love nature is sentimental, romantic and kind. Your easygoing, mild manner allows almost everyone to feel very comfortable with you - especially shy guys/gals. Your modesty and tact enable you to get along easily with both sexes. You are a natural peacemaker and can be very persuasive with words, which helps you to gain the respect of your classmates. You can also be too sensitive at times, and your greatest drawback is a lack of confidence to stand up for yourself in conflict. Your favorite type of guy is a gentle, affectionate one who is also strong and playful. A great sense of humor is also a must. A guy/gal who loves to listen to music and dance should ran! k high on your list of favorites, too.&n bsp;

>>>Three
You are imaginative, fun-loving, thrill-seeking and expressive.You're so charming that you attract many friends and you are almost never lacking guys/gals. In your earlier years, you may be totally shy and self-conscious, but you'll lose those qualities in the high-school years. You can be sort of vain or even a bit of a show-off when you get caught up in exciting events in your life, but you usually redeem yourself in some playful way before you lose a friend. Jealousy shows its ugly head sometimes, but generally you aren't affected by it unless your guy/gal tries to provoke it. In the guy/gal department, you prefer the athletic or artistic types. You're in absolute heaven when you find both of those qualities in the same guy/gal. When you're looking for love, a guy/gal who can make you laugh scores points, big time!

>>>Four
You tend to be loyal, dedicated and good hearted. You're one of the most diligent students when you really try, and you tend to make your schoolwork a priority. You also express those same qualities in your love relationship. No one is more faithful and trusting than you. In fact, those tendencies can be a little negative in your romantic life. You may sometimes hang on too
long to a guy/gal who doesn't give you the respect and love you deserve. You can be stubborn and a bit of a troublemaker if the mood strikes you but you can usually dig yourself out of that hole just in time to stay out of major trouble. You usually fall for extremes when choosing a love mate - he/she may be a show-off or a teacher's pet. Whatever the type, it helps if he/she is good-looking, too, but that's not a major consideration for you.






>>>Five
Your love attitude! is adventurous, charismatic and spontaneous. You're creative and adaptable, and you can come up with the most exciting and sometimes daring things to do. Your quick intelligence and way with words help get you out of the problems that come with being flirtatious
and playing hard to get. You need to pay close attention to your personal values because you love to try new and different things and easily go along with the crowd and the consequences can put extra strain on your relationship with a boy/girl. You like guys/gals who have great bodies and good looks, along with exceptional brain and high grades. It helps if they are highly athletic or involved in as many activities as you, otherwise you might get bored! Variety is the key to your love attitude.

>>>Six
You are warm, loving, devoted and affectionate. Your outgoing, thoughtful nature attracts many girlfriends/boyfriends to you; usually some of the nicest guys/gals too. Because of your need to care, you can end up in a relationship that requires too much care taking to make it balanced. Since home and family play important roles in your life, you are unlikely to be attracted to guys/gals who your parents wouldn't like. Sometimes you have a slight jealous streak... but it doesn't last long. Some people with this love attitude number are prone to making harsh judgements of others, especially when others don't share your set of values. You are especially
attracted to the good looking, boy/girl-next-door type who is smart as well as a gentle man/woman.

>>>Seven
Your love nature is thoughtful, poetic, mystical and mysterious. A few people with love attitude number seven are class clowns, and they usually attract guys/gals who like to be given a hard time. But most of you are the quiet, reserved types who dislike calling attention to yourself.
Your type generally attracts guys who feel the same way you do. Your refined, independent and secretive nature is very alluring to certain guys/gals. At times you can also be somewhat faultfinding and a little demanding in your love relationship and with friends. You are mostly attracted to guys/gals who aren't like all the rest; a loner easily attracts you. And, if he/she reads a lot and enjoys learning, he/she is especially perfect for you.

>>>Eight
Your love attitude is confident, powerful and exciting. This! number! usually makes for a very conscientious student, someone who puts schoolwork ahead of a social life. However, you also enjoy being a leader among your classmates and will seek offices or other positions
>>>that enable you to use your leadership skills. Because of this, you can be somewhat intimidating to certain guys/gals. You can also be a little too intense, bossy and jealous for your own good. Your love match is definitely someone who is smart, handsome and popular. You like quality over quantity and will usually wait until the guy/gal with the best attributes comes along.

>>>Nine
You have a sophisticated attitude that is also generous and considerate. Your responsible, charitable nature may find you attracting guys/gals who want someone to confide in or who makes them feel secure. At a very young age, you developed the type of personality that makes
others feel safe and protected. You will carry these qualities into your adult years and, down the road, you'll be a good mom/dad because of them. On the negative side, you can be argumentative and overly emotional, and you usually possess a temper that can make everyone run for cover. You like the kind of guy/gal who is responsible and impeccably dressed and has gorgeous eyes and a great body. Charm, wit and (of course) brilliance could make him the perfect guy/gal for you.

KUALA LUMPUR: Low-cost carrier AirAsia will renew a sponsorship deal with Manchester United worth US$5.6mil in a move officials are hopeful will further woo foreign tourists to Asia.
“Hopefully, we can ink the deal in a week. The number of tourists flying on AirAsia after we signed the deal with Manchester United last year is very encouraging,” AirAsia chief executive officer Datuk Tony Fernandes was quoted by AFP as saying.
Fernandes declined to reveal the cost of the one-year deal, but said it was within its annual RM60mil budget allocated for advertisements and promotions.
Industry sources familiar with the deal said the contract could cost AirAsia some £2.5mil to £3mil.
AirAsia group deputy chief executive Kamarudin Meranum said there was an influx of European tourists to Asia in the past year, most of whom were British.

“A lot of them used to go to Spain, but are now coming to Asia after seeing AirAsia advertisements at Old Trafford,” he said.
The previous one-year sponsorship deal was for the English League Premier season from August 2005 to May 2006. The new deal will be from August 2006 to May 2007.
Fernandes said the profit-making AirAsia also hoped to leverage on Manchester United's massive fan base in Asia.
“As the official low-fare airline for Manchester United, AirAsia hopes to create opportunities and exciting avenues to reach out and connect with the team's loyal fan base in Asia,” he said.
Since last December, AirAsia has taken delivery of six of the 100 A320 aircraft it has ordered. It plans to have 15 of the craft in service by end-2006, and slowly phase out its Boeing 737-400s.
AirAsia in February said its profits rose to RM53.4mil in the second quarter to December from RM44.4mil a year earlier, due to higher loads and fares during the festive season. – AFX-Asia

Comment:I think this is a very good example of spending money wisely in advertising and branding campaign by Air Asia.Air Asia will be more familiar to the European travellers.Recently,Air Asia's customers are largely form asia,especially in South East Asia region.When many people from Europe get to know about Air Asia,they will board using Air Asia's fleets,increasing the passengers load in its aircrafts.Besides that, Malaysia will be more familiar to tourists as more peoples using Air Asia.Manchester United also benefiting fom this partnership,as it get extra revenue from this partnership.Manchester United's merchandises also will be sold in Air Asia's aircrafts.So I think this is a very good partnership between Air Asia and Manchester United.
