Bruce,

The next time you make your border crossing fuel run to take immoral
advantage of the cheaper diesel subsidised by my taxes, beware of the
latest Kastam Diraja Malaysia patrol boats.

The new ones are the Interceptor class, 16 metres (53 feet with socks
on) and have a contract acceptance speed of 65 knots. Same as before,
New Zealand design and Malaysian built. Wouldn't care for the fuel
bill though.

Should be good.

Actually, I don't think anybody cares if a few boats come down from
Thailand and anyway, it is still referred to as Siam by most.

Oh yes, the Diraja means "royal". As you know we still suffer under
the tyranny of a king who, along with the other Sultans of each state,
take turns in ruling as Head of State. Unfortunately there is a bad
side. We have to vote for the political party of our choice who
actually make the laws. Damn!

cheers
Peter
