This country is turning into rendezvous point for all the world's dictators. We have this guy, and in the past there were burmese dictators, and other assorted tyrants. I understand if Zimbabwe does not have a doctor that can do cataracts, but next door in south africa, there are many good doctors there. Let me see if i can read between the lines. First, Mugabe came here on holiday (i.e. arrange his bank account openings, meet his personal banker, and sign letters of authorities, etc.), had his cataract surgery, and than now, the optician is calling him to come back to singapore for a review (i.e. now he has assembled his money and will be bringing it in, in many large suitcases labeled "diplomatic pouches" to deposit at the accounts that he opened earlier). Shit Times will have us believe a well know corrupt dictator like Mugabe comes thousands of miles here for a "holiday" and to have cataract surgery. Are u shitting me?
HARARE: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is in Singapore for an eye check-up following a cataract operation there, a state-owned newspaper reported on Sunday.
"The president left for Singapore on Friday," The Sunday Mail quoted Mugabe spokesman George Charamba as saying.
"He went for a review following a small medical procedure he underwent while on holiday in that country. He had a cataract in his eye so that was removed and he was asked to return by opticians."
Charamba said the veteran ruler would be back home in time for his 87th birthday on February 21.
Last month, a British newspaper reported that Mugabe had undergone a prostate operation in Malaysia, but Mugabe dismissed the media reports as "naked lies" on his return.
Mugabe, who has been in power since 1980, has been nominated by his party to stand again for president in elections expected later this year, which will end his shaky power-sharing government with long-time rival Morgan Tsvangirai.
