The training […]
... written on Feb 24 2016Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis were often associated as Asia’s pariah people due primarily to their poverty. They form a huge pool of cheap labours or slaves ready to do 3D jobs – dirty, dangerous and difficult. They were cheated by agents before they could be exported and were mistreated by employers while doing their 3D […]
... written on Feb 22 2016Does China own South China Sea so much so that nobody, including the supposedly superpower United States, dares to retaliate – militarily – when Beijing happily parked some HQ-9 air defence missile system on Woody Island, the largest of the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, which is also claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam?

... written on Feb 19 2016Oil prices, both Brent and WTI, are above US$30 a barrel today. The price fluctuations, nevertheless, have been extremely volatile. Thankfully it hasn’t breached below US$20 a barrel. It would be a total chaos if the price goes below that level. But shall we conclude the worst is over on oil apocalypse? Not so fast. […]
... written on Feb 18 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.

Even if Mahathir, his former mentor-turned-enemy agrees to grant him a safe passage, at least 53% of 30-million Malaysian populations are against such a slap on the wrist […]
... written on Feb 15 2016If Najib’s father – Abdul Razak Hussein – is still alive today, he would be 94-year-old. Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad who was indebted to Najib’s father is today 90-year-old. Najib himself is 62-year-old while Mukhriz, Mahathir’s son who is now jobless after lost his Kedah state Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) post, is 51-year-old. […]
... written on Feb 04 2016For the whole year of 2015, the focus was on Najib’s naughty hands caught in the cookie jar but the scope was confined within Malaysia. Only after F.B.I opened investigation papers on the Malaysian prime minister’s stepson Riza Aziz funding over extraordinary real estate purchases and movie production that the scope widened to United States.

... written on Feb 02 2016Ever since the demise of (old and original) UMNO and the creation of UMNO Baru (new UMNO as it is known today) by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad after the 1988 Malaysian Judicial Crisis, the political party has been producing anything but clean and good leaders.
