Corruption
Anwar Ibrahim never abandoned his UMNO DNA – he just changed his uniform from red to blue. Given a choice, he would choose to return to the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) or merge his current Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) with UMNO. His unfinished business was to become the UMNO president, his ultimate ambition when […]
... written on Mar 18 2026From naughty rumours of protecting his own daughter Nurul Izzah’s husband corruption to serious suspicion of safeguarding his cronies’ involvement in corporate mafia, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is increasingly entangled in scandals as he fiercely – but foolishly – trying to defend MACC’s (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) Chief Azam Baki. Under public, political and […]
... written on Mar 13 2026For three years, like a Mafia Godfather, PM Anwar Ibrahim watched proudly as leaders in the multi-coalition Unity Government kissed his ring. He loves the symbolic gesture of respect, loyalty and more importantly – submission. Leading the packs was the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), whose president – Ahmad Zahid Hamidi – was Anwar’s former […]
... written on Mar 07 2026Politics is all about perception, and the public perception now isn’t positive for the Anwar administration. The Madani government is perceived as increasingly untrustworthy, racist, radical, double-faced, double-standard, hypocritical and worse – even anti-Chinese and anti-Hindu. That’s really bad for Anwar-led Pakatan Harapan alliance, which depends on ethnic Chinese and Indian votes. The Malaysian […]
... written on Feb 21 2026Who’s watching Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Watchdog? Apparently, no one, and the commission set up to fight graft is allegedly helping a group of businessmen seize control of companies.

At least that […]
... written on Feb 12 2026After DAP’s crushing defeat in last November’s Sabah state election, the party’s top leadership scrambled for an emergency meeting behind closed doors.

But […]
... written on Feb 07 2026The louder Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim screams about anti-corruption, the smellier the stench of corruption becomes under his administration. That was the joke on the street. While he tries very hard to convince the public that corruption is being eliminated, the perception is that corruption remains business as usual. Worse, Anwar’s own circle was […]
... written on Jan 29 2026China’s highest-ranking general has been fired for not only selling information about the country’s nuclear-weapons program to the U.S. but also for accepting bribes, including the promotion of an officer to defense minister, said people familiar with a high-level briefing on the allegations.
