who got it right - siri 1

di UAE, Qatar, Oman dan Bahrain
pada musim sejuk, akan bermula juga
musim Lumba Kuda dan Unta..

well.. it's not like our Lumba Kuda..
kat Serdang or Ipoh tu..
no betting is allowed, OFFICIALLY...

yang menarik adalah pasal Lumba Unta..
sebelum ini, i mean 2 years ago..
these countries had agreed to ban the hiring
of under-age boys as the camel jockeys..
due to immense internatinal pressure
i.e. ILO, WHO, WTO, etc..

the boys were used
for the same reason as in the horse race;
they are small and light..
so will make their camels go faster in the race..

now, no more..
so.. these kids..
who were 'kidnapped/smuggled' from India, Pakistan
or Bangladesh, when they were very very small in age..
have to be 'returned' to their native countries..

that created another problems;
finding the original families among others,
which finally led to these kids being put at
the orphanage or shelter home for the children...

the interesting fact is that..
the races still go on..

by substituting the jockeys..
with Robot Jockeys..
yupp.. you heard me right..
ROBOT that look like a kid..
