... written on Apr 15 2019At the rate former Prime Minister Najib Razak and his buddy, PAS Islamist Party President Hadi Awang, spew lie almost on a daily basis, one may wonder if both are trying to outdo each other for the serial liar championship.

It definitely smells a rat when some nine student activists exposed how a group of four academics from local universities were involved in advising the Conference of Rulers and convinced the monarchies to reject the Rome Statute.

... written on Apr 09 2019Hypothetically speaking, let’s assume Najib Razak refused to concede defeat after the unexpected results on May 9, 2018. And thanks to the corrupt Election Commission, no official results were announced. So technically, the opposition led by the 93-year-old Mahathir Mohamad did not win the 14th General Election. Mr. Najib wanted to cling to power. […]
... written on Apr 06 2019Brent oil prices rose on Thursday, touching US$70 per barrel for the first time in nearly five months.

... written on Mar 30 2019Mahathir Mohamad ruled with an iron fist from 1981 to 2003. Depending on who you speak to, he can be labelled as a “dictator” or a “firm leader”.
