What is left after one has all the money they need? In the case of incoming President Donald Trump who has ego as big as Boeing 757-200, the answer is “power”. Not ordinary power where he can fire and hire as in his TV-reality show “The Apprentice”, but the real power as the President of […]
... written on Jan 17 2017Globalisation is in danger as people uprising against their orthodoxy of open markets and borders are sweeping the globe.

... written on Jan 16 2017Malaysia is perhaps the only Muslim-country in the world that has a great blueprint to “halalize” everything, except its currency note. A Saudi wannabe, the country had declared Jihad (holy war) on Cadbury over pork-laced chocolate, which turned out to be a false allegation. It had launched the first halal airline – Rayani Air – […]
... written on Jan 03 2017Barack Obama’s presidential campaign slogans included “Hope” (2008) and “Forward” (2012). Moving forward, it appears the outgoing 44th President of the United States has achieved his goal before leaving the White House on Jan 20, 2017 – kind of.

President-elect Donald Trump has hired Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus as his chief of staff, a position that could go to Huma Abedin if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency.

... written on Nov 15 2016There’s a new Republican president in town, and its bad news to most of the world leaders who have been worshipping liberalization, globalization, multi-culture and whatnot. Just like Germany, France, South Korea, China, Mexico and even the Pope, Malaysia too had bet on the wrong horse – Hillary Clinton – to win the U.S. presidency. […]
... written on Nov 13 2016After 10 year on top of the chart, Singapore has lost its crown as the best country in the world to do business. Not many could guess the new champion – New Zealand – a boring but beautiful country where the highly successful “Lord of the Rings” films were made. For the year 2017, World […]
... written on Oct 26 2016Budget 2017 revealed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was both boring and interesting. It was boring because the scandal-hit Najib tried to hoodwink ignorant people that everything in the garden is still rosy. It was interesting because the shameless Najib finally admitted his administration has successfully dried the country’s treasures. When Najib trumpeted […]
... written on Oct 24 2016Ahead of her first debate with Trump on Monday night at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, Clinton has proposed to raise taxes on inherited property – up to 65%.
