pengetahuan dalam bidang protokol.
TUARAN: Benarkah Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing tidak diberi penghormatan di Pesta Kaamatan peringkat Daerah Tuaran pada 10 Mei?
 
Seorang pemerhati, En. Albert Polinoh, di sini menyuarakan kekesalannya di atas apa yang dipanggilnya kegagalan di pihak Jawatankuasa Sambutan dan Protokol Pesta Kaamatan tersebut kerana tidak memberikan penghormatan yang sepatutnya kepada Bumburing yang masih memegang kedudukan sebagai Ahli Parliment P. 170 Tuaran. Bumburing juga adalah bekas Timbalan Ketua Menteri dan Pengerusi Barisan Nasional Tuaran.
 
Saya amat terkejut dan kecewa bila melihat ketika ketibaan Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred bersama Datin Seri Panglima Rubinah,” kata Albert. Tiada satu pun alat-alat muzik tradisional yang dibunyikan ketika mereka masuk ke dewan.

Malaysia in 5th place for illicit financial flows from developing countries over the decade ending 2009

The Developing World lost US$903 billion in illicit outflows in 2009, despite the massive financial crisis which rocked the global economy in late 2008. The capital outflows stem from crime, corruption, tax evasion, and other illicit activity.
 
The report finds that the the vast majority of the drop from US$1.55 trillion to US$903 billion was due to a decrease in volumes of international trade, foreign direct invest, and new external loans, rather than any government action. From 2000 to 2009, developing countries lost US$8.44 trillion to illicit outflows.
