... written on May 16 2013Today, May 13th 2013, is a day that every Malaysian should remember. Approximately 44 years ago, racial riots happened hence the infamous May 13th 1969 black chapter in the country’s history. Nope, you shouldn’t remember the May 13th that happened 44 years ago but rather the May 13th that happens 44 years later, which is […]
... written on May 13 2013At the current age of 87, former premier Mahathir is running out of time. He needs to position his son, Mukhriz Mahathir, at least as UMNO deputy president before he kicks the bucket.

... written on Apr 30 2013Post Mar 2008 general election, Malaysians were introduced to the concept of political frogs, magnified by the infamous lost of Perak state by Pakatan Rakyat (PR) to Barisan Nasional (BN).

... written on Apr 22 2013The Malaysian Registrar of Societies (ROS) dropped a megaton bombshell yesterday, just 48 hours before the 13th General Election’s crucial nomination day, and it couldn’t come at a better time. Ever since DAP, one of the three coalition members within opposition Pakatan Rakyat, concluded their party election last Dec 2012, disgruntled members who didn’t make […]
... written on Apr 19 2013Joseph Pairin Kitingan won Tambunan, Sabah, state assembly seat in 1976 (under Barisan Nasional’s component BERJAYA party ticket) and has been holding the fortress ever since.
