In denial that his government is fast losing the perception war, Anwar Ibrahim still hopes he can continue to be the prime minister after the next 16th General Election. He should be grateful that his current term has outlived his three predecessors – Mahathir Mohamad (22 months), Muhyiddin Yassin (17 months), and Ismail Sabri (15 […]
... written on Nov 21 2024With the US transitioning into a new leadership as the Biden administration wraps up, concerns over how the policies of the new president-elect, Donald Trump, would affect the Southeast Asian market abound. The Southeast Asia region is one of the world’s fastest-developing regions, with international trade, security, and foreign direct investment heavily dependent on good […]
... written on Nov 20 2024After successfully sabotaging fellow Kamala Harris’ chance to become the first female, first black, and first Asian-American president (she is of Indian-Jamaican heritage) by calling 74 million American voters who supported Trump “garbage”, outgoing Biden has now begun sabotaging the new 47th POTUS with an authorization for Ukraine to strike deep inside Russia. With […]
... written on Nov 19 2024Flashback to an article published by the Wall Street Journal in January 2012. Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said he isn’t worried about state prosecutors’ move to appeal a court decision acquitting him of sodomy earlier this month, and said he remains confident it won’t derail his campaign to lead a new government to power […]
... written on Nov 17 2024America is the world’s most powerful country – both economically and militarily. But its government is also the most wasteful, partly because the U.S. can print money whenever it wants.

He is sent back to the White House after his victory in swing states like Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, leaving Harris in despair. But it was just the beginning. The co-producer of TV series […]
... written on Nov 09 2024Germany, the European Union’s biggest economy and major car producer, opposed tariffs on Chinese-built electric vehicles (EVs) for obvious reasons. Home to BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, the German automaker will be severely hit with similar tariffs if China retaliates against European auto industry. But the company was fighting a losing battle against its own politicians. […]
... written on Nov 02 2024Look no further than Mr Anwar Ibrahim if you want to find a fine example of “Arrogance of Power”. It took him just 23 months – less than 2 years – in power to reveal his true colour. He thought he is “The People’s Champion” like boxer Muhammad Ali or wrestler The Rock. Worse, he […]
... written on Oct 28 2024Both Anwar Ibrahim and Najib Razak are delighted that the drama runs according to the script. To ensure the 10th Prime Minister could continue his 5-year term without any interruption, former PM Najib would not abruptly withdraw support just like how his faction did in July 2021, which led to the collapse of Muhyiddin backdoor […]
... written on Oct 25 2024Prime Minister cum Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim has bulldozed two important policies for workers during last Friday’s presentation of the Budget 2025.
