... written on Sep 13 2015It’s all over the international news. Not happy with negative news stacked against the country – 1MDB’s RM42 billion and RM2.6 billion scandals – the country has added another shameful episode, just a week after Prime Minister Najib Razak went into hiding instead of confronting 1,000 delegates from 130 countries at IACC Conference.

... written on Sep 09 2015Pro-UMNO Red Shirts want to rally despite police saying “No”. Apparently, these supposedly very influential and million-members-club thugs wanted to show off that they can also mobilise at least 300,000 to the street, in retaliation to the Bersih 4.0 yellow-shirts mega rally, which itself claimed had attracted 500,000 people during a 34-hour rally recently.

Now, there’s something equally bizarre happening in Egypt. Egyptian Maryam Malak had achieved nearly perfect marks in previous years, […]

... written on Sep 06 2015It was like a Hindustan movie – a businessman and a divorcee were madly in love. Unfortunately, the woman’s father didn’t like the man, most likely because he wasn’t rich or powerful enough.

... written on Aug 29 2015Based on feedback from highway travelers, the notorious FRU were moving fast and furious into the city.

... written on Aug 27 2015Formed in 2006, Bersih had organised 3 rallies in the past – Bersih 1.0 (2007), 2.0 (2011) and 3.0 (2012). The fourth rally, Bersih 4.0, is just days away.
