A regionwide survey by media specialists OMD has uncovered some
pretty interesting facts among Asians.
But the most interesting nugget of information by the ROAR study was the
poor score given to former US president Bill Clinton in the popularity
poll.
Clinton, in fact, was named "Loser of the Year" in Singapore, Shanghai,
Wuhan and Shenyang.
It was less clear cut in the "Person of the Year" category, with a
variety of people mentioned - Nicholas Tse, Zhu Rongji, Mahathir,
Richard Li and Lee Kuan Yew - depending on the country surveyed.
Things were of course a little muddy in the Philippines. Deposed
president Joseph Estrada accomplished the remarkable feat of being named
"Loser of the Year" and "Person of the Year". Go figure.
