... written on Dec 29 2021According to the Harvard Business School, real leaders are not born – the ability to lead or help others triumph over adversity is not written into their genetic code. On the contrary, leaders are made and they are forged in crisis, especially in a time of great uncertainty and real danger. A real leader inspires […]
... written on Dec 26 2021Disgraced former Prime Minister Najib Razak said the Selangor state government, which is being ruled by the Opposition Pakatan Harapan, should not blame the federal government, which is being run by his own party UMNO, for the spectacular failure to manage the flood disaster.

... written on Dec 23 2021At least 17 people have died and over 60,000 displaced, while some victims were still stranded on Monday (Dec 20) – three days after torrential rain triggered severe flooding in eight states of Malaysia.

... written on Dec 21 2021Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin is pushing very hard to amend the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act (Act 342).

... written on Dec 10 2021Signs of trouble for former Prime Minister Najib Razak were as clear as daylight about 24 hours before a three-member Court of Appeal was scheduled to deliver its verdict today (8 December, 2021).

... written on Dec 08 2021When Malaysian economy contracted by 4.5% in the third quarter of 2021, lower than Bloomberg’s estimation of -1.9% and Reuters’ -1.3%, it spoke volume about the consequences of multiple half-baked lockdowns imposed by the Muhyiddin government.

... written on Dec 07 2021As the 15th General Election approaches, the racist and extremist politicians have started shifting gears in their usual comical contest to become the Malay champions.
