Which was it the Minister or the bodyguard............ I'll go with the Minister..............Was the Gomen investigating him for corruption????

There was a previous incident involving this Minister and his bodyguard and Babu in Penang regarding the surrendering of the bodyguards weapon. I believe the flight was substantially delayed and eventually the weapon was locked away in the diplomatic locker. But on that fateful day the same thing happened and because it was his anniversary Babu allowed the weapon to be carried on board rather than accept a lengthy delay. A fatal mistake by an incredibly talented and nice man who was the consummate professional.

God bless the souls of all,

Wooblah.
