... written on Mar 13 2016If social media creativity is an indicator, Malaysia should have had many Steve Jobs or at least some international brands such as Samsung, if not better. Government’s policy of racism, discrimination and systematic degradation of national education system, however, has produced a society with poor critical thinking skills. The Government of Malaysia, dominated by […]
... written on Mar 10 2016Politics and business make lousy bedfellows as do politics and sports as well as politics and family matters. But in a cowboy town like Malaysia where everything is mixed like “Rojak“, it doesn’t really matter. The family of Razak has done it, again, after the senior Prime Minister Najib Razak shocked the world with the […]
... written on Mar 08 2016Just like a salesman desperately wanted to meet his quarterly sales quota, or else risk being axed, the same can be said about Prime Minister Najib Razak. While the salesman needs P.O. (purchase order) from customers to justify his existence, Najib needs document from Saudi royal family to justify that the controversial RM2.6 billion was […]
... written on Mar 06 2016Effective Dec 2014, Malaysia scrapped decades-old fuel subsidy and the prices of RON-95, RON-97 petrol and diesel have been based on a “managed float system”.

... written on Feb 28 2016Malaysia, under Najib Razak administration, is a cowboy town now with very little respect for law and order.

... written on Feb 27 2016China has been hitting the news for the wrong reasons – economic slowdown, stock market meltdown, corruption crackdown, and billionaires’ disappearance. However, like its factories, the country assembly lines are producing billionaires faster than any other countries, including United States. Now, China has more billionaires than America.

... written on Feb 25 2016SJKC, also known as “vernacular schools” in Malaysia for the Chinese have existed since independence and the vernacular education is protected by the Federal Constitution, despite disagreement by some former judges.
