all bound for moo-moo land

So, just where is Agu Cashmir?

This is the question the papers posed yesterday. I was rather amused because I was thinking: Who cares?

If you don’t know who Agu is, well, you shouldn’t bother. But if you really want to know, we’re not talking about quality steak or goat wool; he’s actually some failed African footballer who landed on our shores, got ushered into the national team as “top striker” (with citizenship to go along), performed well for a while but sucked later on, and went missing after that. The disappearance act was after he had just signed with an Indonesian club who paid him $20,000 as signing on fees.

Well, Agu has called. Now he says he wants to go to Russia to play his football. And he’ll try to return the $20k. Just take it as an interest-free loan, thank you very much. And bye-bye Singapore too.

So much for “foreign talent” then. Here’s wishing him Good Luck. And Good Riddance!
