Scandal
Hishammuddin Hussein, the cousin of disgraced ex-premier Najib Razak, has been keeping a low profile since the corrupt Barisan Nasional government he was part of lost its power in May polls. While his colleague, ex-deputy PM Zahid Hamidi, eagerly wanted the UMNO presidency, Mr. Hishammuddin cleverly took the path of leaving the party – quietly […]
... written on Oct 23 2018Armed with 49 seats in parliament and 4-million votes in the May 9th general election, UMNO should theoretically be a force to be reckoned with. Although the Malay Nationalist party had lost its power for the first time in 61 years, it has nevertheless become the biggest opposition party. UMNO could actually give the new […]
... written on Oct 22 2018In what appears to be yet another U-turn, President Donald Trump acknowledged that Jamal Khashoggi is likely dead. And the president has once again said he will consider “very severe consequences” for the oil rich U.S. ally Saudi, reversing his earlier defence of the House of Saud that news media were being unfair in their […]
... written on Oct 20 2018Zahid has finally been charged with multiple criminal breach of trust (CBT), abuse of power and money laundering, and he is already looking at 45 charges altogether. But this is just the beginning for the UMNO president. The authorities have not even slapped him with charges related to 1MDB yet. It appears that Ahmad Zahid […]
... written on Oct 19 2018Initially, Trump promised “severe punishment” for Saudi Arabia if the United States determined that Saudi agents were responsible in the gruesome murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

... written on Oct 18 2018Jamal Khashoggi had probably died a horrible death. According to a Turkish source who has listened in full to an audio recording of the Saudi journalist’s last moment, Khashoggi was dragged from the Consul General’s office at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Revealed by Middle East Eye portal, horrendous screams were then heard by a witness […]
... written on Oct 17 2018Had journalist Jamal Khashoggi been an ordinary Saudi critic, very few would care about his disappearance. After all, U.S. President Trump has publicly made it know his anti-Muslim stance even before his 2016 Presidential Election. Donald Trump has also made it know that he doesn’t really care about human rights, let alone climate change or […]
... written on Oct 15 2018The honeymoon is over and the reality is about to kick in. Malaysia is still in deep shit after 61 years under previous corrupt Barisan Nasional (BN) government. And thanks to ex-premier Najib Razak, the country has accumulated RM1 trillion of debts. That debt holes, unfortunately, needs to be filled by none other than 33-million […]

Its extremism policy gave birth to terror groups such as al-Qaeda and Daesh (ISIS, ISIL, IS), among others, as Muslims were being radicalized as Islamic terrorists or jihadists at an alarming […]
... written on Oct 08 2018Anwar Ibrahim has been campaigning so hard as if his life depends on it. There’s little doubt that the prime-minister-in-waiting will definitely win the by-election engineered by his camp to get him ready for the ultimate throne.
