  At long last, we have a righteous leader who is boldly initiating legal action to rein in the notorious Malaysian electoral system which has virtually gone berserk. Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leader Zaid Ibrahim, who lost narrowly to a Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in the dirtiest and most corrupt electoral contest in memory, is taking… Continue reading EC should not be hands-off over rampant bribery

When questioned by reporters regarding private investigator P Balasubramaniam’s latest revelations implicating the family of Prime Minister Najib Razak in the Altantuya murder scandal, Najib snapped: “I will not entertain any frivolous statement???, and asked reporters to move on to the next question. This curt reply, to crassly cut reporters off from asking further questions… Continue reading Who is frivolous: PI Bala or PM Najib?

The court decision is expected to define the King-Prime Minister-Parliament nexus although the case is over the Perak constitutional crisis. A decision in favour of Zambry will mean that in future the King is vested with the power to sack a Prime Minister and without the involvement of Parliament. There was deep disappointment when the… Continue reading MB vs MB: Federal Court of judicial pillars or political stooges?

  I bet not a few among the participants at the 21st Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Malaysia implementation council meeting were aghast when Prime Minister cum Finance Minister Najib Razak announced that Malaysia was aiming for a nine percent annual GDP growth until 2020.   In an opening speech at the meeting held in the… Continue reading Does Najib really understand economics?

After the nonsensical assembly sitting in Perak on Oct 28, Barisan Nasional should deeply reflect whether it is worthwhile to prolong its farcical rule in the Silver State. To say the least, the session was a complete washout. First, police control and intervention inside and outside the assembly was so heavy and so overpowering that… Continue reading Harassment every inch of the way at Perak sitting

A tragic yet hilarious court proceeding took place in the Ipoh High Court on Sept 8 when the judge blatantly contradicts himself in dismissing a suit brought by Perak’s Pakatan Rakyat speaker against the state’s Barisan Nasional speaker (yes, two speakers in the Perak assembly). Judge Azahar Mohamed rejected V. Sivakumar’s suit to seek damages… Continue reading The Perak Speaker chair: Contradiction in judge’s decision

How should one read the decision by Prime Minister Najib Razak to renew Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan’s service contract despite his horrible record – exploding crime rate, brutal suppression of civil liberties, and swirling talk of his alleged links with the underworld? Some would say that the IGP is retained because, as a ruthless… Continue reading Will the Agong step in over IGP reappointment?

  Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has claimed that he does not understand what ‘1Malaysia’ stands for and suggested his ‘Malaysia Boleh’ is a better slogan. I can’t help but agree with him that ‘Malaysia Boleh’ perhaps better describes some of the grotesque idiosyncrasies of Malaysian life, at least over the following two scenarios which… Continue reading Najib’s 1Malaysia a two-faced scam?

  Without allowing RCI to probe into Teoh Beng Hock’s death, how can it fathom what went wrong with MACC operations when these two factors are integral and inseparable. Prime Minister Najib Razak has finally announced the setting up of a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to assuage the nation’s anger over the tragic death… Continue reading Royal commission of deception

  MACC is holding far too many secrets that it has not shared with the public over the suspicious death of the young political secretary. Teoh Beng Hock’s tragic death seems to have jolted this country from the euphoric daze induced by the media blitz that has glorified Najib Razak’s premiership. Staring starkly at the… Continue reading Teoh’s death: Mysteries abound, RCI without delay
