... written on Dec 06 2025He had been huffing and puffing profusely trying to convince Sabahans to vote for Pakatan Harapan, an alliance made up of PKR (People’s Justice Party), DAP (Democratic Action Party) and Amanah (National Trust Party). But the voters in the Borneo state saw only injustice, inaction and untrustworthiness from the Malaya-based ruling government led by forked-tongue […]
... written on Dec 01 2025Sending an army of armed MACC officers wearing balaclavas like Navy SEAL commandos to arrest and handcuff a businessman-cum-whistleblower Albert Tei was already overkill. But for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officers to point a gun at his head screams intimidation and harassment – even stupid – which only paints Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in desperation […]
... written on Nov 29 2025Caught with his pants down lying through his teeth, disgraced Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution is nowhere to be found. Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh, meanwhile, has proven to be a quick learner in “tai-chi”, arguing that she does not have the power to sack officials of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) over a document forgery scandal, […]
... written on Nov 22 2025First, the good news – no matter which parties form the next Sabah government, they would realign with the federal government under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. That had been the case in the past – previous Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional federal governments – and it will be the same with the current Pakatan Harapan-led […]
... written on Nov 19 2025Just five days ahead of the Sabah state election nomination day, the United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) suddenly dropped a bombshell – withdraws entirely from the ruling government led by Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition.

... written on Nov 12 2025On March 20, 2025, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) submitted two names to FIFA for eligibility to play for Malaysia – Gabriel Palmero andHector Hevel. Coincidentally and amusingly, both players’ ancestors were born in Malacca. Palmero’s supporting birth certificate showed his grandmother was born in Malacca on May 17, 1956, while Hevel’s grandfather was […]
... written on Nov 08 2025When FIFA President Gianni Infantino attended the 47th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur in October 2025, there were concerns of hanky-panky, which might lead to a successful (or a partial successful) appeal by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) following an embarrassing document forgery scandal that has rocked Malaysian football.

... written on Nov 05 2025Despite Home Affairs Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail’s defiance that all foreign players were granted citizenship after a very rigorous process, the scandal involving the fabrication of birth certificates for seven foreign football players so that they can represent Malaysia isn’t going away. Worse, it is turning the heat on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s government. […]
... written on Oct 14 2025When seven out of 11 football (soccer) players in your national team do not resemble local ethnics – Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan or Iban – it already smells fishy.
