New Independent cover

This is the new Independent cover. Mixed feelings about it. While I welcome their move towards a more contemporary design, it does look like a design of one of their supplement magazine. Maybe they thought streamlining would be a good thing. Not sure why they thought Tesco deserves to be on the front page during election month.

A note to Malaysian prints, this is what a newspaper should look like - no adverts on the front page!

'Quality' compact, Malaysian style...

Speaking of Malaysia...Bernama news agency reports that the Malaysian government is considering giving away free dadah to addicts. Don't know the fuss is all about but for the first time I was considering moving back, until I read that 'addicts' are required to be locked up in a remote island.
