... written on Aug 21 2021Imagine Opposition Pakatan Harapan returns to power this week. If they manage to fix the Coronavirus pandemic and the economy, you can bet your last penny the now-collapsed backdoor Perikatan Nasional coalition will claim credit. Former PM Muhyiddin will claim that the success is due to all the hard work and innovative programmes put in […]
... written on Aug 19 2021King Sultan Abdullah had made two biggest blunders. First, he – either ignorantly or deliberately – chose Muhyiddin Yassin as the 8th Prime Minister last year without verifying the authenticity of the support he actually possessed.

... written on Aug 18 2021Former backdoor Prime Minister Mahiaddin (glamour name: Muhyiddin) has officially resigned today (August 16).

... written on Aug 09 2021Deputy Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, probably thought he was doing his new boss – Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin – a great favour, has paraded some lawmakers today (August 6) to show support for the government. Mr Sabri said that 31 MPs from the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition will continue to support the government […]
... written on Aug 06 2021China’s National Health Commission said the country recorded 96 Covid cases on Wednesday (August 4) – the third straight day it reported 90 cases and above. Of the newly confirmed infections, 71 were locally transmitted. Such numbers may be considered as a non-event – even a victory that deserves national celebration – in other countries. […]
