Viateur quoted a Malaysian newspaper thus:

"Abdullah... launched a orchid hybrid species named after him Dendrobium


Abdullah Badawi."

 

We should all know that it is either a hybrid or a species, and the
sentence should read:

"Abdullah also launched an orchid hybrid named after him"

 

I wish journalists knew what they are writing about!!!
