How do you hoodwink a judge that you were not corrupt even though you had stolen money, never mind whether the amount was RM2.27 billion or just 1% of it, which translates to RM22,000,000? Former Prime Minister Najib Razak’s hotshot attorney might have found the answer – convince the court that his client was actually […]
... written on Oct 03 2024Chinese voter turnout in the upcoming Mahkota by-election definitely will be low. The burning question is whether it will be lower than the July’s Sungai Bakap polls, which saw only 47% of the Chinese electorate turning out to vote. As a result of the protest votes, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s own party PKR suffered a […]
... written on Sep 24 2024As expected, Perikatan Nasional (PN) has rejected the draft MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) on constituency allocations for opposition MPs.

In fact, […]
... written on Sep 19 2024Does anyone get a feeling the current Anwar administration, despite less than 2 years old, actually feels extremely familiar as if it has been six decades?

... written on Sep 12 2024When was the last time you see a restaurant with a sign saying “No Pork, No Lard” doing a roaring business with Malay-Muslim customers in Peninsular Malaysia?

... written on Sep 03 2024Muhyiddin Yassin’s Bersatu or Malaysian United Indigenous Party is very demoralized and demotivated in just less than 2 years after losing power.
