...years, Deputy Prime Minister Najib, himself tipped as a possible future leader of Malaysia, told TIME: "We have arrived. It has been an era of transformation in more than one sense: physical, social, economic."

So I stopped the antibiotics and brought Manuel back a week later. No dice - still no change...
