Now do you understand why the Malaysian Chinese were foaming at the mouth when Prime Minister Najib Razak conspired with PAS (Malaysian Islamic Party) President Hadi Awang to introduce ancient Islamic law otherwise known as the "Hudud Law" last year? There were compelling reasons why the Chinese opp
Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies were planning to launch a military invasion on Qatar before President Trump intervened and persuaded them otherwise - reported Bloomberg. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, both Sunni-majority nations, wanted to change the Qatari regime, also another Sunni-majority nations, a
President Donald Trump shows the world who's the boss who pay the bill in his first address to the United Nations General Assembly. As the largest contributor of U.N. operating expenses, the president told the world body to reform to "Make the United Nations Great" - but not "again" - suggesting tha
Some were terrified when North Korea fired a ballistic missile over their head. Some were excited to see if U.S. would finally launch a pre-emptive military strike. But very few ask the burning and critical question - why didn't the military superpower U.S. shoot down Fatboy Kim's missile? The real
Something is terribly wrong with the way economic sanctions are being slapped on North Korea. When it comes to dealing with North Korea's nuclear weapons program, international community especially the United Nations and the United States hope sanctions are a useful tool to bring Kim Jong-un to
Theresa May might be the British prime minister post-Brexit. But her heart and soul appear to be still with European Union even after Britons had voted to get out of the expensive club. After all, like her predecessor, her pro-EU stance was a public knowledge. And the last thing that she could do be
The next time you go to the famous but pricey toy store - Toys "R" Us - don't be surprise if you couldn't find one. Even if you manage to find the store, chances are there could be lesser toys than usual, or worse still, rows of empty shelves. You could either rush for whatever toys leftover which y
After Fatboy Kim successful fired an intermediate-range missile - for the second time - over Japan reaching the distance of 3,700 kilometres (2,300 miles) and a maximum height of 770 kilometres (478 miles), it was pretty much game over. Guam is now within range of a North Korean missile strike. If t
On the same day Fatboy Kim Jong-un fired a missile over Japan powerful enough to strike U.S. military base Guam, Britain is being hit by yet another terror attack. An explosion at London Tube station during Friday morning's rush hour has so far injured 23 people. The blast sent a "fireball" and a "w
South Koreans have gotten used to it. But it's a totally different game to the Japanese. During the World War II, terrified people would rush for cover as blaring sirens signalled incoming Imperial Japanese Army's bombardment. Now, the role is reversed. Millions of terrified Japanese were rudely awa
Najib son of Razak will soon learn a painful lesson. The Malaysian prime minister will learn the real meaning of "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush". He should have had honoured the deal that his administration made with IWC-CREC (Iskandar Waterfront Holdings-China Railway Engineering Corp) co [...]
Acting as a Saudi Arabia's middleman, Kuwait has presented a 13-point list to Qatar in order to end the diplomatic crisis. But the demands are insanely extreme that if Qatar agrees, it would be as good as surrendering the small kingdom's sovereignty to the big bully Saudi. Perhaps that's what Saudi [...]
Forbes has just released its compilation of the richest person in every state of the United States of America. The U.S. has more billionaires than any other country in the world, at least that was what Forbes claims. China would, of course, dispute this claim as a different study showed the Middle K [...]
As predicted by technical charts, oil is toast, as the crude sank more than 2% on Tuesday. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures ended Tuesday's session at US$43.23, down 97 cents, the weakest settlement since Sept. 16. At US$43 a barrel, that would be its 9-month closing low, not to men [...]
For the second time, Trump administration is provoking Putin regime with the latest shooting down of a Syrian SU-22 warplane. Since the beginning of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, this is the first time the U.S. has shot down a Syrian aircraft, and it's a great deal. As usual, it wasn't the U.S. faul [...]
You can only stay patient for so long before reaching the tipping point. And that's precisely what happened in the Finsbury Park Area of London early Monday morning. A hired van ploughed into Muslim worshippers near a mosque in London’s Finsbury Park in what appears to be a "revenge terror attack" [...]
Now we know why U.S. President Donald Trump has been avoiding Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak like a plague. Now we also know where the US$620 million had ended up after Najib administration falsely claimed it had been returned to donor Saudi royal family. More importantly, we know why bloggers [...]
With the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude trading at below US$45 a barrel, OPEC has gone bonkers all over the Middle East. That's because the oil is less than two bucks away from US$42, a very critical support level. The commodity had tried breaching that level slightly more than a month [...]
United States appears to have entered a Civil War. This isn't just a war between the left-wing and the right-wing. This is a war between the Democrats and the Republicans. Wait a minute. While all Democrats belong to the left, not all Republicans belong to the right. That's too bad. All the left-win [...]
For the fifth year running, Singapore's Changi Airport has emerged as the world's best airport. The Changi has been so good in winning the crown that none of its neighbours in the Southeast Asian (ASEAN) region could give the Singapore airport a run for its money. The nearest competitor - Kuala Lump [...]
