... written on Sep 12 2022A double rainbow has formed over Buckingham Palace following the announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday (Sept 8, 2022). Aged 96, the queen died “peacefully” at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She effectively became the world’s longest-reigning monarch and head of state upon the death of Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej in October […]
... written on Sep 09 2022Ringgit has finally dropped 4.50 to a US dollar on Wednesday (Sept 7) – the lowest since January 1998, during the Asian Financial Crisis.

The session was specially staged by UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to trap and humiliate PM Ismail, who only ranked third […]
... written on Aug 30 2022Since Vladimir Putin launched his “special military operation”, which the U.S. and its allies called an “unprovoked invasion”, in Ukraine, the Western nations have done nothing but add fuel to the fire.

... written on Aug 23 2022Abdul Hadi Awang, president of Islamist party PAS, has revealed yet another mind-blowing theory – the root cause of corruption was not the fault of Malays, but the non-Malays.
