They even outsource their decisions on outsourcing

The exasperated chairman of Parliaments correctional services committee, Vincent Smith, has expressed concern about the numbers of services the prison departments has been outsourcing.
It transpires that the Department of Correctional Services outsource 886 contracts a year at a total cost of 1.1bn rand.
Smith said that an outsider supplied food for 23m per month. Other items include 5m per month for maintaining TV sets for 159 million rand, 667,000 for internal auditing, 4.95 million for training of junior middle managers etc.
Smith's exasperation came when he and his committee were told by officials that even a decision as to whether or not outsourcing was the best option for supplying services in prisons was itself outsourced to a private consultant at a cost of 1.1 million rand…

I am at loss for words..and do not have the energy to challenge this mindset…snigger snigger

Beer-drinking Muslim model wins caning reprieve
A Muslim model sentenced to be caned for drinking beer won a surprise reprieve Monday when religious officials delayed her punishment until after the fasting month of Ramadan.
Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, was sentenced by a religious court last month to six strokes, making her the first woman to face caning under Islamic law in Malaysia, a moderate Muslim-majority country.
