Crisis
While the Western countries, especially the Europe, are trembling in fear after the Brussels Attacks, it was celebration elsewhere. As usual, European cities’ landmarks were lit up with Belgium flag colours after screaming tons of condemnations and pledging “solidarity” with the Belgian people. Not only ISIS supporters have been cheering the terror attacks in Brussels, […]
... written on Mar 24 2016The attacks were largely expected. What was unknown were the place of targets and the number of innocent people who would be killed. Innocent people here, of course, aren’t referring to politicians. Politicians always get away scot free. But the policies made by these supposedly clever Western countries’ politicians have gotten many citizens killed. There’s […]
... written on Mar 22 2016Due to obsession over Donald Trump’s meteoric rise in his run for President of the United States 2016, suddenly very little attention was paid to President Barack Hussein Obama. There was one particular interview in this month’s edition of the Atlantic magazine between Obama and Jeffrey Goldberg which is of utmost interest. Columnist Goldberg wrote the […]
... written on Mar 20 2016There were some cheers when crude oil prices started moving north from below US$30 a barrel. It didn’t go any further than US$40 a barrel and has now retreated to below the figure. Nevertheless, nobody believes it could skyrocket at the same momentum it had tumbled though. And Moody’s isn’t impressed despite the jump from […]
... written on Mar 16 2016Out of the blue on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the withdrawing of the “main part” of its forces in Syria – starting from Tuesday. It was roughly 5-month ago when he sent his military hardware and soldiers into the country in what seemed to be a long-term commitment in a war that has […]

But we think the Americans should vote the clown anyway as the next President of the United States. Why can’t the Apprentice hero be given a chance after they had given a loser […]
... written on Mar 14 2016For a couple of years Russia has been warning Finland and Sweden from joining NATO. Moscow’s message to them was simple – join NATO and the Russian will attack. Why? Prior to the Soviet Union’s collapse, Moscow agreed to dismantle the Warsaw Pact (a pact similar to NATO) and destroy the Berlin Wall in exchange […]
... written on Mar 12 2016Mahathir Mohamad has quit (*yawn*) UMNO, the political party he formed 28 years ago after the 1988 Judicial Crisis when the (old) UMNO was declared “an unlawful society”. In short, the original UMNO party formed by Onn Jaafar had already died since 1988. Today, Mahathir has merely quit from his own party – UMNO Baru […]
... written on Mar 01 2016On the surface, it looks like any innocent military exercises which the proven Malaysian soldiers had engaged in the past. Apparently, Malaysia’s involvement in a Saudi Arabia’s sponsored military exercise – Northern Thunder – raises concern as to the actual reason why Malaysian military personnel were sent thousands of miles into the kingdom. The training […]
... written on Feb 24 2016Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis were often associated as Asia’s pariah people due primarily to their poverty. They form a huge pool of cheap labours or slaves ready to do 3D jobs – dirty, dangerous and difficult. They were cheated by agents before they could be exported and were mistreated by employers while doing their 3D […]
