FOR RM$0.70 (S$0.30), the cost of a teh tarik in a Johor Baru coffeeshop, Jason Nah will catch the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Parking is free and the shop has massive 42-inch flat-screen television sets.

That is what you call a good deal, not the offer announced by SingTel's chief of content and media services Edward Ying, added the personal trainer, who has watched the World Cup since the 1986 Finals in Mexico.
