  • COMMENT Recently, I had to go to IJN to be with my brother-in-law who recently went through open-heart surgery to replace a faulty valve in his heart. He was in ICU.

    As my trip was from PJ during peak hours, I had time to chat with the taxi driver - something I normally do with drivers who are friendly and willing to chat.

    Most of the time, such conversations lapse into topical political issues, race relations, the economic situation and sometimes, personal challenges.
