Nepal ex-king's struggles
KATHMANDU - ONCE worshipped as a divine incarnation, Nepal's deposed king Gyanendra says he is spending his days in darkness like many ordinary citizens because of the frequent power outages in his impoverished country.
Gyanendra, once the owner of several opulent palaces, has been living in a hunting lodge outside Kathmandu after a Maoist revolution forced the abolition of the 239-year-old monarchy and proclaimed Nepal a republic in 2008.

Build from the rakyat tears..!!! 
The government then took control of many of his palaces, allowing him to live in one of his tin-roofed hunting lodges.
In a televised interview, Gyanendra said he was facing up to 12 hours of power cuts a day.
'Justice has not been given to me,' a pensive-looking Gyanendra told Image television late on Tuesday, wearing a Nepali cloth cap and a loose shirt.

In Malaysia, the rakyat's palace..!! Crying for food..!!'I think there is room for the government of the day to give a thought to our plight as, well, as common citizens.' He said he had not approached the courts yet to avoid embarrassment to the government. The ex-king's present fortunes are in stark contrast to his stature before the Maoist-led government came to power in 2008. -- REUTERS
