Out 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 […]
... written on Mar 15 2016When Donald Trump announced his candidacy last year, there were only a handful of people who gave him any chance of survival. 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 2016There’s nothing much to elaborate here. The title of this article is self-explanatory. The Wall Street Journal’s latest bombshell is to tell all and sundry two things. First, someone from the Bank Negara Malaysia (Malaysia Central Bank) is super pissed that a “wolf” is about to be appointed as the most powerful person in the […]
... written on Mar 13 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 2016If social media creativity is an indicator, Malaysia should have had many Steve Jobs or at least some international brands such as Samsung, if not better.

The family of Razak has done it, again, after the senior Prime Minister Najib Razak shocked the world with the […]
... written on Mar 08 2016Just like a salesman desperately wanted to meet his quarterly sales quota, or else risk being axed, the same can be said about Prime Minister Najib Razak. While the salesman needs P.O. (purchase order) from customers to justify his existence, Najib needs document from Saudi royal family to justify that the controversial RM2.6 billion was […]

As confusing as it may sound, public perception of people in the Middle East is that they hate America, and the West.

It’s been 15 months now since the implementation and so far so good. Malaysians can proudly say they can survive without subsidy, even though the (subsidy) money came from taxpayers […]
... written on Mar 02 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”.
