Financial Times..

Have you read the Financial Times lately?  I know  unless you are in the financial industry and due to work responsibilities, an average person would not bother to read it.  However, there are a lot of interesting news in Fin Times if you happen to read one.  Trust me, its not as boring as you would expect it to be.

The one that I read was March 31/April 1..you should read the article on page 5.  It's a story about this British guy called Neil Percival Heywood that was found dead in a hotel in China.  It was reported due to excessive alcohol consumption.  However, Neil's friends are not convinced bcoz this guy is known not to be a heavy drinker.

What is known about this Neil guy was that he was the typical upper-crust fellow, coming from private school, good education background..knows who and who in Briton.  Minggled with the upper socialite group, married to a Chinese lady and has been living in China for quite sometime.  Then he got to know some Chinese politicians and considered a confident for Bo Xilai, Chongqing Communist part secretary.  

What was not known much was his work in China.  His declared job was as a part-time consultant to the Aston Martin dealership in Beijing.  But he also worked for a "strategic intelligence" company called Hakluyt.

Hakluyt it seems was created by ex-MI6 members and was involve in the intelligence industry..!?  Anyway, he's dead..the authorities are saying something else as his cause of death while an ex-police chief of one of China's province requested political asylum stating he has evidence that Neil was poisoned upon orders from Bo.

Macam James Bond movie kan?? Told you...Fin Times is not that boring okayyy...
