Depending on whom you ask, Mahathir’s visit to China – his first since becoming Malaysia’s prime minister for the second time, and the world’s oldest premier – can either be a huge success or a failure. The primary mission of PM’s five-day visit to the Middle Kingdom was to renegotiate mega deals signed by his […]
... written on Aug 22 2018Today (August 17) marks the 100th day of New Malaysia – the administration of 93-year-old Mahathir Mohamad after the collapse of old Barisan Nasional government. Ever since Independence in 1957, then-Malaya and subsequently Malaysia (1963) has only known one federal government – the Alliance – which later restructured to become Barisan Nasional. Malaysians, after […]
... 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 2018Jho Low (fullname: Low Taek Jho) was madly furious after his favourite toy, the US$250 million (RM1 billion) Equanimity superyacht – was handed over to the new government of Malaysia by Indonesia without much challenge. The Penang-born fugitive had obviously underestimated the Malaysia-Indonesia close relationship. The band of highly paid lawyers of Jho Low, […]
... written on Aug 13 2018Najib Razak is game over. He is toast. It would take a miracle for the former Malaysia prime minister to walk away scot free. The strategy is to charge him with criminal breach of trust (CBT), money laundering and abuse of power – and repeat that process – over any irregularities found in relation to […]
... written on Aug 12 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. Thankfully, his wife Michelle was present on that occasion to pick up the tab. The Secret Service […]
... written on Aug 10 20181Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) has laid claim to the superyacht Equanimity. Ironically, the same company wouldn’t touch the US$250 million (RM1 billion) vessel with a 10-foot pole about 3 months ago. Before the May 9 general election, 1MDB wanted nothing to do with the luxury yacht, let alone claiming the ownership on the vessel. For as long as […]
... written on Aug 08 2018Equanimity has entered Malaysian waters after a short journey from Batam, Malaysia.

Both vessels were anchored about two nautical miles off the coast of Pengerang in Johor, as of 6pm. […]
... written on Aug 07 2018The Sungai Kandis by-election was a straight fight between opposition Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan ruling government. Unlike the May 19 nationwide election where there was 3-cornered fight, this by-election was supposed to be verification on the wild theory that a merger of UMNO and PAS would give birth to a very powerful party which […]
... written on Aug 06 2018Ex-PM Najib Razak called newly crowned Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu “cartoon”. In retaliation, Mr. Sabu called Mr. Najib “stupid”. The war of words escalates as both individuals excitedly campaign during by-election rally in the Selangor state seat of Sungai Kandis. Ironically, Najib was former defence minister for 14 years (1990-1995 and 1999-2008). Najib, while on […]
