RM10 billion or RM100 billion?

Following the explosive allegation by the author of “Malaysian Maverick: Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times”, the launching of the book was delayed with some obstacle from the Home Ministry.

The author Barry Wain alleged former premier Tun Mahathir squandered RM100 billion during his administration, severe enough for Home Ministry to intervene.

It said this is to ensure [...]

A story of our police force

Not enough of “nude squat” incident in 2005, this nation is once again being hit by another scandal.

This time, a Chinese national is crying foul over profiling of foreign women by the authorities, following her eight-day detention by the Subang Jaya district police, when she was picked up by the police in a karaoke outlet [...]

Petronas in for Mercedes

By now, everyone would have realized the fact Petronas is not backing our own 1Malaysia F1 team, nothing less than a dream of our PM Najib Tun Razak to have a national F1 team to compete in the F1 championship.

On the paper, this might look like Petronas snubs 1Malaysia F1 team, but from a branding [...]

One very soldierly question

When a RM50 million F-5E fighter jet engine owned by the Royal Malaysia Air Force (RMAF) can be stolen just like that, how would you trust the soldier to protect this country?

Oh, don’t try to lecture me that RMAF is RMAF, but soldier. ;p

Umno, Tsu Koon & an “itchy mouth”

While KPI Minister Koh Tsu Koon was still fresh from being grilled by the public and media with the recently held government transformation program, he now has another concern to worry about.

That is, nothing less than the coveted Penang BN chairmanship, which will determine the chief ministerial role should BN is being voted into power [...]

Finally … Gold for Malaysia football team

As far as I can remember, football is one of the most celebrated sport across different continents.

Growing up watching the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool playing in Premier Leagues, I can’t remember myself celebrating our national football team, in which, most of the time, unfortunately, the national team being thrashed big time, sometimes [...]

Slacking MPs

By now, I’m sure the talk of the town is all about the nearly defeated Budget 2010 last night, by the Opposition lawmakers.

In the parliament, BN has 137 of the 222 seats, followed by Pakatan Rakyat’s 82 and 3 Independents.

If the Budget 2010 was approved with 66 votes for and 63 against, that means more [...]

Crazy Monkeys with the wedding stories

A year before the wedding party, I was looking around for ideas how to be able to capture the dinner and everything in a simple, yet stylish and unique way.

I conveyed the message to my buddies and it was then we started to look into the possibilities of creating a video which is able to [...]

Gorgeous night

Finally, after many years of courtship and turbulence of our relationship, I’m now legally married, as what our good friend Uncle Zorro was saying while everyone was laughing away.

It was a gorgeous moment, nicely done at the wedding dinner in Courtyard Garden, touted as the grand finale of all dinners, after 2 early wedding dinners [...]
