Gloucestershire airport in England used to blast Tina Turner songs on the runways to scare birds away. (Either the manager is a fan or it must have been really effective!)
Manhattan Island of New York City was purchased for $24 from the Algonquian Indians in 1624!
(Just imagine the Indians wanting it back now!)
More people in China speak English than in the United States.
(Btw, I think there are more Muslims in China than the whole of Malaysia too)
But this, according to Helen Ang, takes the cake:
"It’s mighty suspicious that Umno has the most members not in its traditional stronghold of Johor but in Sabah!
The Umno website reported on Monday party vice president Mohd Shafie Apdal as saying Sabah has 449,805 Umno members, followed by Johor with 428,663 and Selangor 414,142 in third place. He said the updated membership roll shows altogether 3,159,484 members nationwide.
What makes the figures remarkable is that Umno only made its way to Sabah in February 1991 whereas the national party was formed in May 1946.
How is it that Sabah has 449,805 Umno members when Malays are only 332,400 or 16.2 percent of the population of Sabah – out of the total state population of 2.05 milllion?"
