Worse, senior officials dismiss or play down unicef's allegations. "I think that report was biased," says Ruth Liloqula, who until last month was permanent secretary of the Home Affairs...
...Pelican” as a kind of final reckoning, Leaf successfully presents the anguish of a helpless onlooker.Faced with the difficult task of portraying a character both pathetic and despicable, Malin succeeds at making the audience empathize with a monster. Her performance at times appears to lack focus in its histrionics, but Malin demonstrates her substantial talent through her ability to show the mother’s bipolar nature, switching from a simpering girl to a snappish hag with ease.Shafrin gives one of the strongest performances of the show as the bitter, haunted son, Frederick.
