When I was in my upper secondary school, I had this economics book by Samuelson to digest. One of the things which sticks to my mind up to this day is this phrase:
Statistics, damn lies and statistics.
If I give you the statistics below, do you believe them?
Teoh was taken in for questioning by the MACC last Wednesday evening.[15/7/2009] The agency said he was freed a little after 3.45am on Thursday [16/7/2009] but his body was later found sprawled on the roof of a five-storey building next door at 1.30pm.[16/7/2009]
What say you?
