Scandal
Did Muhyiddin really want to reform institutions as well as combat corruption and abuse of power, as pledged in his inaugural speech as the country’s 8th Prime Minister on March 2? Only gullible and ignorant supporters would think so. As the world was shocked by the plunging oil prices and the stock market meltdown, the […]
... written on Mar 10 2020The drama is about to conclude. It has to because Mahathir is already 94 years old. If newly crowned PM Muhyiddin Yassin is to survive until the next 15th General Election, which must be called by 2023, Mahathir will be 97 years old. Sure, he had proven himself as the world’s oldest prime minister. But […]
... written on Mar 09 2020Hadi Awang, the president of Islamist party PAS, should zip his mouth because the more he talks the more beans he spills. When Mahathir was the prime minister, Hadi claimed his plan to table a motion of confidence in Mahathir’s leadership was to save the people and the country. As an opposition who was tainted […]
... written on Mar 06 2020As expected, the next Dewan Rakyat (Lower House of Representative) sitting, scheduled to meet on March 9, has been postponed to May 18 under the instruction of newly crowned Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Essentially, that means the 72-year-old premier was sworn in without the necessary 112 minimum seats required to form a simple majority government […]
... written on Mar 04 2020In less than 24 hours after Muhyiddin Yassin was sworn in as the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia, it appeared that abuse of power has already started. UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, one of the newly crowned premier’s allies, behaving as if he is already the deputy prime minister, had requested the High Court to […]
... written on Mar 03 2020You know it was “game over” after Attorney General Tommy Thomas suddenly resigned despite his two-year term will only expire in June. Unlike the previous A.G. Apandi Ali, who shamelessly refused to let go of his office chair even after his political master Najib Razak lost in the May 2019 General Election, Thomas quit with […]
... written on Feb 29 2020Despite furious rumours and speculations that the ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government is about to be toppled by none other than Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad himself, the 94-year-old premier did not show up at the Sheraton Hotel in Petaling Jaya where he was supposed to issue a stunning announcement of the formation of a […]
... written on Feb 24 2020Mahathir, despite his advanced age, is extremely unwilling to let go of his power. The man who practised dictatorial-style leadership and gerrymandering and misused institutional tools to manipulate an electoral process to stay in power for 22 years (from 1981 to 2003) became a prime minister for the second time after he led opposition Pakatan […]
... written on Feb 21 2020When her husband, former Prime Minister Najib Razak, was walking the corridors of power from 2009 to 2018, she had never once experienced any major health problem. Rosmah Mansor, self-proclaimed FLOM (First Lady of Malaysia), did not even suffer any minor injury or pain, let alone hospitalised for life threatening diseases. At least, there was […]
... written on Feb 06 2020No man can resist the temptation of money – especially some religious men who dressed in white robes and turbans and other headgears to look more Arab than the Arabs.
