Rais Yatim: It’s “Selsema Babi” …

Usually, I try to resist the temptation of taking a swipe at our politician talk or rather, mindset, which I think only God knows what are they thinking of.

However, I can’t stop my hand and my brain from not openly complimenting a job well-done by Information, Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim.

In a report by [...]

RM1 million is nothing …

Well, that’s what came out from the mouth of the Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen.

That’s also the amount paid to former Ferrari Formula One team boss Jean Todt to spend over two years as Malaysia’s Tourism ambassador.

That’s also the amount that buys Yen Yen nothing in Europe.

That’s Malaysia.

That’s our money.

But well, that’s nothing.

To the PAS’s infamous duo: Don’t try to be gung-ho or get out!

Less than one-and-half year after the historical March 8 tsunami, the unity government talk continues to haunt the Pakatan Rakyat (PR), be it the coalition members of the public who voted for PR.

Today, once and for all (I hope), PR’s top leadership led by Opposition Leader and PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim unanimously rejected the formation [...]

Mass exodus from MCA?

A day after the maverick politician Zaid Ibrahim joins PKR, there are rumors that more MCA members are ready to defect to PR coalition.

Two heavyweights from MCA – a former senator and a former cabinet minister are on the verge of joining.

The fact is, MCA is now in turmoil.

Chinese support for MCA dropped from 30 [...]

Zaid Ibrahim is now in PKR, and I hope …

After many months of noncommittal from the former Minister in the PM Department Zaid Ibrahim by toying around with the idea of joining the PR, he is now officially with the PR by joining PKR.

As much as I can remember this guy, he has been doing the right thing at the wrong place until he [...]

This Lee Wei Kiat from MCA

Let me go straight to the point.

What’s wrong with the MCA Information and Communication Bureau chairman Lee Wei Kiat?

This guy is everywhere, too busy menjaga tepi kain orang.

He said PR is facing conflicts and there isn’t any consensus between the leaders.

He said the call from PAS Youth to maintain the New Economic Policy (NEP) quota [...]

During the administration of former PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, he was infamous of his flip-flop decision making, attracting criticism from every corner with the harshest critic came from his predecessor Mahathir Mohamad.

Eventually, with a combination of a few other negative factors, he was forced to pass the baton to the [...]

The future of PR, or the unity talk?

As far as I’m concern, as much as I understand what is "politics" is all about, for the first time in my life, I’ve never been so concerned about the PAS’s party election result.

While I still do not understand why Abdul Hadi Awang’s position as the president wasn’t challenged, I certainly hope that one of [...]

The Awang Selamat dude

It’s Awang Selamat again.

Yes, the one in Utusan Melayu and he did it again!

This time, he feels that Malay in this country is betrayed by the excessive demand from the non-Malay.

Too racist, he commented.

Hati Awang semakin hari semakin ditoreh-toreh oleh tuntutan pelbagai pihak bukan Melayu yang bersikap terlalu rasis selepas Pilihan Raya Umum ke-12. Kita [...]

Relax, it’s ironic …

In an opinion poll conducted by opinion research firm Merdeka Centre from May 6-15 on 1,067 registered voters, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak was given a performance score card of a 45-percent satisfaction rate by voters in Peninsular Malaysia as reported by Malaysiakini.

The Merdeka Centre said voters’ concerns were not so much on matters relating [...]
