Hi,

I thought I’d lead off with something different after days of writing about rather glum news. So today I thought I’d cast my eye over the topic of rich people – specifically, the just-released Forbes list of the world’s richest people. This is not a list to gawk at for information about how much people are worth (there is significant debate about many different aspects of this list) but the fact that it still generates a lot of attention tells us something about how society views the super wealthy.

Of course, one cannot ever really get away from the more serious news, so today we also have to talk about North Korea, the ongoing reshaping of Malaysia’s political landscape, and Asia’s dirty air problem.
