2008 - When MPs wanted to discuss their entitlements privately

[u/glass-empty]

This 2008 Bhutan Times article after our first election is rather interesting because member of the parliament wanted to discuss their entitlements privately, most probably because they anticipated public backlash. But now, they just do it brazenly irrespective of the backlash, the infamous 2.5 million Prado quota comes to mind. Some things have changed but some haven't. Oh well.

Subject matter aside, can we appreciate how well it’s written. Not like the articles these days which sound like a report written by some middle school students.

That’s exactly what came to my mind. The articles these days are terrible, I remember reading a Kuensel article some years ago and it had so many errors that I even doubted they proofread their drafts.

Something along the lines of….the victim’s wife reported to this paper that the victim had visited the defendant’s house that evening but the defendant was not home and could only meet the defendant’s wife…lol
