Paris, Pot and Power

Just read a news report (Agency France Press) that Paris Hilton was caught upon arrival at an airport in Corsica with about a gram of cannabis in her possession, was taken to the cop station and later released without charges. Getting caught with some grass in your purse is no big deal, but the AFP report went on to say that Ms Hilton was caught after coming in on a private jet and I quote: "with people close to power in Malaysia". That immediately piqued my interest. Hmmm, I wonder now who these jet-setting people who are "close to power in Malaysia" are. More importantly, were they travelling in a private capacity or in official gubment capacity as in a private jet funded by Malaysian taxpayers, as in a trip sponsored by 1Malaysia? Oh oh oh i can't wait to find out. When you say someone is "close to power in Malaysia", the connotations are many and multi-faceted. One easy presumption would be that those "close to power in Malaysia" are probably getting "close to power $$$" from the Malaysian gubment. Otherwise, they wouldn't be "close to power in Malaysia" in the first place, would they? But speculation aside, i'm pretty certain that the identities of said mysterious people (fellow countrymen?) would be revealed very soon. Our tax ringgits hard at work as usual? Man oh man this better be good.
Blogger's post-blog note: I just viewed something like 53 pictures of Paris Hilton partying with a rotund Penang billionaire's son or some richie rich. The towkays were trying to out-order each other very expensive champagne and from the looks of things it was very merry indeed. Well, if it's someone spending money from their own pockets, then it ain't none of nobody's business. AFP's vague and insinuating report shall be put to rest with this.
