Nazri Aziz: You have no brains. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

When the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Aziz, who is also the Padang Renggas MP hurled "Why are you so stupid? Where are the allegations? You have no brains. Stupid, stupid, stupid!…" towards Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang, that’s not the best from Parliament yet.

A lesson from Uncle Zorro

The crime land

If Kuala Lumpur is the flood capital, Johor should be given an equal status too – the crime land.

On one hand, we’re showing off the RM382 billion Iskandar Development Region (IDR), putting in extra effort to convince worldwide investors that [...]

Now, it’s time to help Jeff Ooi, help yourself. Like Jeff said, it’s a case not about WHO is right, but WHAT is right.
