... written on Aug 17 2018Nazri Aziz, one of 191 UMNO warlords, has been a good and obedient dog until now. Make no mistake about it. Unlike other poodles from Barisan Nasional component parties – MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc – Nazri refused crumbs from his master, Prime Minister of Malaysia. Yes, Nazri was UMNO’s most pampered dog, a Doberman which […]
... written on Aug 16 2018It’s commonly said the Queen doesn’t carry cash. Likewise, the President of the United States doesn’t carry cash too, as experienced by former President Obama in 2014 when his credit card was rejected in a New York restaurant.

... written on Aug 09 2018Ex-PM Najib Razak called newly crowned Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu “cartoon”. In retaliation, Mr. Sabu called Mr. Najib “stupid”.

Unfortunately, it’s been 35 years since “PROTON” was established in a mind-boggling venture – automobile design, manufacturing, distribution and sales. Subsequently, a second national car project – Perodua – was hatched in 1993, although solely in rebadging business. Now, the defiant […]
