Corruption
Do not underestimate the idiocy of 4-million UMNO-Malays who had thrown their support for the UMNO Malay nationalist party in the 2018 General Election. Despite the burning issues of 1MDB scandal and GST (goods and services tax), they still voted for a crook such as (former Prime Minister) Najib Razak. But that was not the […]
... written on Jan 02 2020Former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was awaiting trial on criminal charges in Japan, has confirmed speculations that he has fled the country and is in Lebanon. So far, there has been silence from Japan, probably embarrassed – even furious – as to how Mr. Ghosn could pull a stunning escape from the Japanese prosecutor and authorities. Denying […]
... written on Jan 01 2020Perhaps it’s true that Prime Minister Mahathir has “brain malfunction” as the power-hungry leader rushes against time to build a dynasty for his son. Hey, it’s not me who said that. It was Shri Ravindra Kishore Sinha, a Member of Parliament of India, who made that statement. Apparently, the Malaysian premier has attracted more attention […]
... written on Dec 30 2019Initially, Mahathir Mohamad thought his party – PPBM (Bersatu) – could morph into a new version of UMNO. After all, it was him who brilliantly destroyed the original UMNO in 1988 and created “UMNO Baru” (the current UMNO version 2.0). But unlike in 1988, Mr. Mahathir had quit UMNO to form PPBM on 8 September […]
... written on Dec 27 2019In front of a thousand curious people watching at Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, Najib Razak performed his drama – taking a “sumpah laknat”, or swearing in the face of divine retribution to deny former elite police commando Azilah Hadri’s statutory declaration (SD) that he (then deputy prime minister) gave the order to kill Mongolian national […]
... written on Dec 20 2019For as long as one can remember, Najib Razak has denied any involvement in the 1MDB scandal, despite caught with his hand in the cookie jar – a jaw-dropping US$681 million in his private bank accounts. Instead, he claimed that the huge sum of money was donations from Saudi royal family, a claim that could not be […]
... written on Dec 19 2019There are many ways to skin a cat, especially a fat cat like former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Already hit with 42 charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT), money laundering and abuse of power – a world record for a former prime minister – he was also slapped with a tax bill for an […]
... written on Dec 17 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. […]
