A sea of red on global stock markets continue as the Coronavirus crisis deteriorated and the meltdown in the U.S., the world’s biggest economy, crashes confidence. The DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) fell 10%, or 2,352.6 points – its largest one-day percentage drop since the October 1987 crash, which is also known as the infamous “Black […]
... written on Mar 13 2020The new cabinet was designed in such a way to ensure the survivability of not only Prime Minister Muhyiddin, but crucially the continuous existence of Bersatu (if they failed to take over UMNO) “after” the next 15th General Election. And if you look at the position of the chess pieces, some hidden hands had helped […]
... written on Mar 12 2020As countries around the world scramble to contain the spread of the highly infectious Covid-19 coronavirus, China appears to have successfully contained the pathogen. With official figures showing that the crisis, which first started in Wuhan, China, may have stabilized, other countries have started taking a look at how the Chinese did it. The […]
... written on Mar 11 2020Did Muhyiddin really want to reform institutions as well as combat corruption and abuse of power, as pledged in his inaugural speech as the country’s 8th Prime Minister on March 2? Only gullible and ignorant supporters would think so. As the world was shocked by the plunging oil prices and the stock market meltdown, the […]
... written on Mar 10 2020The drama is about to conclude. It has to because Mahathir is already 94 years old. If newly crowned PM Muhyiddin Yassin is to survive until the next 15th General Election, which must be called by 2023, Mahathir will be 97 years old. Sure, he had proven himself as the world’s oldest prime minister. But […]
... written on Mar 09 2020Hadi Awang, the president of Islamist party PAS, should zip his mouth because the more he talks the more beans he spills.

... written on Mar 06 2020As expected, the next Dewan Rakyat (Lower House of Representative) sitting, scheduled to meet on March 9, has been postponed to May 18 under the instruction of newly crowned Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Essentially, that means the 72-year-old premier was sworn in without the necessary 112 minimum seats required to form a simple majority government […]
... written on Mar 04 2020In less than 24 hours after Muhyiddin Yassin was sworn in as the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia, it appeared that abuse of power has already started. UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, one of the newly crowned premier’s allies, behaving as if he is already the deputy prime minister, had requested the High Court to […]
... written on Mar 03 2020There’s good news and bad news. First, the bad news – Muhyiddin Yassin is now officially the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia. The good news – he has disputable majority. No matter how you argue, Mr. Muhyiddin, arguably the 1st premier of a backdoor government, has taken over a very unstable government at a time […]
... written on Mar 02 2020You know it was “game over” after Attorney General Tommy Thomas suddenly resigned despite his two-year term will only expire in June. Unlike the previous A.G.
