WHISPERS AND RUMOURS

Here I am with some local Sabah politicians. Next to me is YB Datuk Wilfred Bumburing, MP fpr Tamparuli and next to him is Datuk Jahid Jahim, State representative (ADUN) for Tuaran. He used to grace my PTA functions in St. John's. Next is someone from the ministry.View of proposed cabin for the school. Better than expected

There had been quite a number of movements in the Education ministry recently with some having retired and some being promoted. Naturally there were rumours that yours truly will be transferred. Every now and then, someone would come with the news 'from reliable source' that so-and-so is going to such-and-such a department, etc..etc.. Is it true?...Each time when confronted with such news, my reply would be ' wait for the letter'. 

The rumour mills were churning reports at record speed and each time the news got wilder. At the airport, while waiting for the minister, Datin took me aside and whispered something to me '...... keep it a secret until further announcement.' Well, I'm good at keeping secret. Mum's the word. At the function in SK Tudan, the minister's aide come up to me and said, "Congratulations." "What about ?" I asked, feigning ignorance. "You'll soon know. But congrats in advance." 

At the end of the function, Datin called me and small boss and broke the news to us : "......but don't tell anyone till the letter comes." Oh-oh.. there goes the secret and I'm sure the news will spread..................... to be continued ......
