... written on Dec 13 2019When prime minister-in-waiting Anwar Ibrahim said he was a patient man, but there was a limit to it, he was sending a message to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. When he warned – “Don’t test me” – he was sending a message to his traitor deputy Azmin Ali. Anwar’s statements two days ago were unleashed as […]
... written on Dec 07 2019When Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was slapped with 47 charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT), money laundering and corruption involving RM124 million, it was already a record. At that time, his former boss Najib Razak was just facing 32 charges while wife Rosmah Mansor 17 charges. The charges against former prime minister Najib has since […]
... written on Dec 05 2019Mahathir’s previous policy of allowing so-called “minimal and manageable” corruption among the warlords of UMNO, the dominant political party he once led, has proven more damaging than anticipated. The tentacles of corruption have not only spread deep into government and private institutions, but also within government agencies founded to protect the poor Malay community. […]
... written on Dec 03 2019Azmin Ali has dug a hole so deep that it’s hard to see how he could survive. Not only is he trapped in the hole, his buddy-turn-nemesis Anwar Ibrahim has thrown a rope for him to hang himself. But he has only himself to blame.

Unlike Azmin’s sex scandal, however, the new video clip involving Mahathir’s own party could trigger a serious leadership crisis in […]
... written on Nov 10 2019Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali said today that he will settle debt owed to a travel agency, if there are outstanding bills. His statement was an admission that he and his families had indeed travelled with “YHA Travel & Tours” but refused to pay, otherwise he would publicly deny – even condemn or threaten to […]
... written on Nov 07 2019Jho Low must be grinning from ear to ear reading how Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador squirms every time news flashes over the fugitive’s hideouts. Mr. Low, the No 1 fugitive of Malaysia, was initially believed to be hiding in China, before he was reported to be living extravagantly in Dubai, United Arab […]
... written on Nov 05 2019The cleverest man in the 1MDB scandal was none other than Jho Low (full name: Low Taek Jho). The world’s biggest heist – between 2009 and 2014 – saw at least US$4.5 billion stolen from Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad).
