Henry Butcher Art Auction 2012: Paradox

Salam, sarzosky is gone & his putrajaya submarine buddy will take a dive (pun intended) with him very very soon insyaALLAH amen!  Went to HB Art Auction yesterday & highlight of the day was the late Ibrahim Hussein "Red, Core & Orange" went under the hammer for a new malaysian record of RM725,000 (not inclusive of 10% Buyer's Premium).  Folks, we are talking about people with serious money to burn here & yet at the end of other spectrum we have people who can't even afford to buy painting paper for their kids' art class.  This is a scary prospect.  Yes, there will always be the rich and the poor as ALLAH had pre-ordained everybody before the were born.  But the gap between the have and the have-nots should never this big.  Let's do something about this by giving the opportunity to the new people to take over in next GE.  Have a good week ahead & keep your chain up come what may!

ps: last week the iconic painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch  sold for USD120m in NYC!
