Everyone now knows that the huge sum of RM 35 million has allegedly been allocated to build a “hall” in ‘PM8’s constituency. For whose benefit, apart from the contractor, remains unclear and there is nothing to show that the contract calls for golden roof tiles, marble floors or anything else more suitable for an Agong’s […]

Malaysia’s international image got another airing with pictures of convicted criminal Najib Razak celebrating 2021 very publicly. Some Malaysians would like to know where he got the money from to celebrate so lavishly. 1MDB or one of his other scams? Malaysia’s international image as a country where crooks, with top level support, can steal a

PKR defector Zuraida, faced with the bond she signed when becoming a PH candidate at the last general election, now tries to avoid its consequences by claiming it is “unconstitutional”! Will she stop there? How about claiming that the coup coalition which she made possible by undignified “frogging” is also unconstitutional? Which it certainly is.

If Malaysia really needs help in fighting Covid infection it can purchase the needed vaccine from established producers; just as many other countries are doing. If there is money for royal progresses to the Middle East there must be money to buy tested vaccines; a much more sensible use of public funds. Or are all

The Gulf states are distant from Malaysia but not so distant that the stink of corruption cannot be noted; even at such a distance. Malaysia,through the agency of arch thief Najib and his accomplices, Malaysian and otherwise, now has an international reputation as a failed state managed by a bunch of thieves, In that context

The main question. The only one of real importance is what do the voters think about the PN coup plotters and the boobies on the PH side who caused this situation? Clearly ‘Moo’ and his fellow plotters have no stomach for an election. Why let the people choose when there are still government funds to

Enough time has passed for even the most crowded of Court calendars to find time to hear the appeal lodged by mega criminal Najib against hs conviction. Yet no date has been fixed and announced for those proceedings. Why not? If the calendar of the Court of Appeal is so crowded why is it not

Some politicians have been suggesting that royally appointed PM Moo wants a general election! While there are still public funds to be raised? Having pushed a Budget that will, among other goodies, profit his royal masters? What nonsense! A general election is the last thing he wants as witness his recent racist calls for the

In a public statement royal puppet Muhyiddin has claimed that “divine will” had brought together three main Muslim political parties in Malaysia. That’s good. So Malaysians will no longer have to bother with all that democratic nonsense about elections and how their taxes are spent. Divine oversight will take care of all that; perhaps with

A term usually applied to criminals forcibly attacking a high value shop and making off with whatever they can steal on the spot. So it would be somewhat inappropriate to describe the PN “government” in those terms. Steal and conceal might be nearer the mark so it is disappointing to see the Agong praising the

Eminence gris, or Machiavelli if preferred, of the PN coup and, as a result, “Senior Minister”, Azmn Ali finds himself in court for non-payment of bills from the travel agency he has employed to arrange travel. The claim also includes bills for travel, equally unpaid, by his children. People who don’t pay what they owe

WHY BOTHER? The blatant abuse of parliamentary procedure by the PN government, supported enthusiastically by the “Speaker”, is said to have “passed” the Budget. In a parliamentary democracy, which Malaysia has ceased to be, such an important measure must receive majority support in a formal vote by the Assembly. This it did not have but

Barisan Nasional  Secretary General Annuar Musa is quoted as saying that if UMNO can cut a deal with PAS and Bersatu it can expect to get the lion’s share of seats to contest at the next general election. He qualified that by making it clear that he was referring to seats likely to go to

Press reports indicate that UMNO boss Zahid’s call for the PN government not to delay a motion of confidence in Prime Minister Muyhiddin is intended both to “gain more respect for UMNO” and to force Muyhiddin to call a “snap election” Quite how Moo would do that remained unstated. If he simply resigned his post

It is interesting, and most unusual, to find a politician, and a Malaysian one at that, advocating the banning of this practice which has been so profitable for the political class in that country over the years. Very many politicians appear to see selling their allegiance as a right, a pension even, if the need
