Scandal
The news of a mass defection at RBS Coutts, which has the British royal family amongst its customers, came as a shock.

... written on Jun 11 2016Russians might love their President Vladimir Putin, who enjoyed consistently high rankings. Last year in June, Putin’s approval rate was at record-high of 89%, despite economic challenge due to tumbling currency ruble and oil price.

An ex-UMNO, he’s a two-headed snake that cannot be trusted. In fact, he’s more venomous than Islamic party PAS’ President Abdul Hadi Awang. If both are snakes, then Azmin is a […]
... written on May 23 2016United Kingdom was ranked 10th in Transparency International’s 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index. Britons, however, should have little reasons to smile because their country is virtually as corrupt as Nigeria (ranked 136th) and Afghanistan (ranked 166th) for recognizing and happily rubbing shoulders with those corrupt leaders. Prime Minister David Cameron had his fair share of embarrassment […]
