The Canada Dept. of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued
a statement dated 21^st June 2003:

Canadians should not travel to the islands off the southeast
coast of Sabah, including Sipadan and Pandanan. The Abu Sayyaf Group from
the Philippines kidnapped foreigners from a diving resort in Sipadan and
Pandanan in April and September 2000, and from the resort island of Palawan
in the southern Philippines in May 2001. Malaysian authorities have increased
security in the southeastern part of Sabah in response to these incidents.
Canadians should exercise caution in areas around Semporna and Tawau on
the Sabah mainland.

Heightened tensions throughout the region, together
with increased threats globally from terrorism, put Canadians at greater
risk. Canadians should maintain a high level of personal security awareness
at all times, as the security situation could deteriorate rapidly without
notice. Exercise appropriate caution in large gatherings and crowded places,
including pedestrian promenades, shopping malls, open markets, and restaurants.
Canadians should monitor local developments and register and remain in
regular contact with the Canadian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or the
Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

“Ladies and Gentlemen do you want the good news
first or the bad news?

“The good news is that last Friday was my birthday
and I hit the town and had a great time. I felt sadly let down by the
fact that none of you sent me a card! I drive you to work and home each
day and not even a card.”

“The bad news is that there is a points failure
somewhere between Stratford and East Ham, which means that we probably
won't reach our destination for a good ninety minutes yet. We may
have to stop and return. I won't reverse back up the line - simply
get out, walk up the platform and go back to where we started. In the
meantime if you get bored you can simply talk to the man in front or beside
you or opposite you.”

“Let me start you off: “Hi, my name's
Gary how do you do?”

Experts have found 80 hairline cracks in China's
Three Gorges Dam, amid reports of poor workmanship on the world's
largest water project, expected to take 17 years - completion expected
in 2009. An estimated 250,000 workers are involved in the project and
the reservoir will cover 632 square kilometres (395 square miles) of land.
Government officials estimate that the dam will resettle 1.2 million people.
Critics complain about substandard construction work, corruption and negligence
in resettlement work. The project is expected to produce up to one-ninth
of China's total output of electricity.
