It’s the middle of the week: too close to Monday, too far from Friday. We’re proud to bring you Jilian Ng’s Malaysia-nomics (taking over from Antares’ Midweek Folk Wisdom) every Wednesday for the next two months. The pen of this young university student pokes gentle fun at current issues with charm and bite. A small taste of the intelligence that lives on in bright young Malaysians – YUMMEH!

In an effort to combat illegal gambling activities, the police have set up a mock casino at the police training centre in Cheras. ‘To catch a thief, we need to think like a thief’
