While people were still digesting the news that the controversial ECRL (East Coast Rail Link) is about to start as early as next month, after the new Malaysian government victoriously announced the initial RM65.5 billion project will be one-third cheaper, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad dropped a bigger bombshell on Friday (April 19) – the revival […]
... written on Apr 21 2019After playing the 3R cards (religion, racial and royalty) to the hilt, the adventurous UMNO appears to be trying to politicise education. The name Mohd Fadil Osman might not mean anything to average Joes and Janes. But the UMNO Kemayan assemblyman’s claim that vernacular schools destroy unity in Malaysia is both entertaining and ignorance. During […]
... written on Apr 18 2019Once a contract is signed, sealed and delivered, it becomes a formal legally-binding contract. Nobody can violate or breach the terms and conditions of the agreement. Well, actually it can be violated, it you could flex your muscle like military superpower America. You play dirty by accusing the other party of violating the contract, even […]
... written on Apr 17 2019The controversial East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project has finally gotten its answer after being suspended for 10 months.

Of course, it’s quite unfair that Mr. Hadi abused his status as an Islamic religious […]
... written on Apr 13 2019Without hidden hands, the Sultanate of Johor would not dare attack Mahathir government so openly. 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. The gang […]

... 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.
