In June 2002, the Malaysian government signed a €1 billion (US$961 million; RM3.4 billion) contract with Armaris (now DCNS) and Spanish naval shipbuilder Izar (now Navantia) for 2 SSK Scorpenes submarines.

... written on Sep 01 2015Yellow fever is not over yet, despite the “Yellow Uprising” had already ended more than 24-hour ago. Nope, we’re not talking about the follow-up debate as to why there were more Chinese than Malay participants during the 34-hour Bersih 4.0 rally. We’re talking about Bilqis Hijjas, who allegedly dropped some balloons and has insulted Najib […]
... written on Sep 01 2015The 34-hour marathon is finally over. This is the first time a Bersih rally lasted such a long hour, and easily the most peaceful of all the four rallies ever held, an impressive milestone. Well, there were some provocateurs who tried their luck with “firecrackers” even after the rally was over but was subsequently apprehended […]
... written on Aug 31 2015By 5:30pm the organisers of Bersih 4.0 rally claimed there were 200,000 participants. Malaysiakini put the figure at more than 100,000 at about 4pm. However, KL police chief Tajuddin Md Isa estimated the number at 25,000 as of 3pm. But when you were in the middle of a massive crowd, it makes no difference, whether […]
... written on Aug 30 2015Pro-Najib bloggers have been burning midnight oil trying to project Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak as a clever and cunning politician who can rival and even outsmart his mentor, Mahathir Mohamad. Apparently, Najib was scripted in such a way that he isn’t afraid of a vote of no confidence, and in fact was excited and […]
... written on Aug 29 2015Based on feedback from highway travelers, the notorious FRU were moving fast and furious into the city. Although nobody expects the latest rally – Bersih 4.0 – can pressure Prime Minister Najib Razak to resign with dignity, the regime is getting desperate about “losing face” if the rally could balloon to become the biggest rally […]

The first rally (Bersih 1.0) was instrumental in sending former Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi into retirement, so that the sleeping beauty can sleep for as long […]
... written on Aug 26 2015Malaysian Ringgit has just hit another new high – RM4.2570 to one US dollar. Forget about what the specialists and experts say about the local currency. Didn’t someone tell you less than a month ago that ringgit is to trade between RM3.80 to RM4.10? Well, screw them because they know nuts about the actual financial […]

Regardless whether this round will be a huge success, or flop miserably big time, the fact remains that Bersih was a huge success, based on how its past […]
... written on Aug 21 2015First, the RM2.62 billion (US$696 Million) exposed in the private account of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was claimed to be a “donation”, courtesy of some rich Arabians.
