... written on Feb 04 2016Ever since the demise of (old and original) UMNO and the creation of UMNO Baru (new UMNO as it is known today) by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad after the 1988 Malaysian Judicial Crisis, the political party has been producing anything but clean and good leaders. Mahathir was a dictator. Badawi was a sleeping queen. […]
... written on Feb 01 2016Nobody dared bet A.G. Apandi would be neutral and professional on Najib Razak’s alleged involvement in 1MDB’s RM42 billion scandal, RM2.6 billion “private donation” or SRC’s RM42 million mysterious money, let alone charge the prime minister with corruption or money laundering. After all, it was Najib who offered the 65-year-old retired ex-judge the job. […]
... written on Jan 28 2016He’s worth a staggering US$24.5 billion (£17.23 billion; RM106.37 billion) based on Forbes’ estimation.

... written on Jan 22 2016Najib Razak self-proclaimed that the RM42 billion scandal involving his pet project 1MDB was over before the unleashing of New Year 2016 fireworks.

... written on Jan 12 2016North Korea announced on Wednesday that it had successfully tested a “miniaturized” hydrogen bomb, whatever that means. We’ve read and seen miniature donut, furniture or even the Great Wall of China but seldom or never a miniature hydrogen bomb. World leaders have condemned fat boy Kim Jong-un for playing with the delicate toy. But […]
... written on Jan 07 2016Do you have credit cards? Sure. How on earth can we live without credit cards nowadays? Even President Barack Hussein Obama has one, although embarrassingly his credit card was turned down at a posh New York restaurant, rumoured to be Estela restaurant in Manhattan, forcing First Lady Michelle to pick up the tab in Oct […]
... written on Jan 05 2016If 2014 was the year of Malaysia Airlines where it lost two Boeing 777s, one disappeared while another shot down; the year 2015 is definitely the year of Prime Minister Najib Razak.
