		<title>Higher Education Rating System: Complacency kills!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a study by the Higher Education Rating System (Setara), University Malaysia (UM) has been named as the country&#8217;s top university with a perfect score of 5 (excellent) in the research-based university category, for god sake.

		<title>Fair competition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m quite intrigued by the low-cost fight between the national carrier Malaysia Airlines and low-cost carrier AirAsia.
Half past midnight, two emails came into the mailbox about the same time, with AirAsia offering international free seats while MAS via it&#8217;s low-cost carrier subsidiary FireFly is busy counter-attacking AirAsia&#8217;s recent &#34;sub-zero free seats&#34; promotion.
It&#8217;s indeed the kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>The day after tomorrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here in this peace of Boleh-land, we&#8217;re indeed living in a very interesting place with interesting development at an interesting time.
It all started when the internal rifle within the Barisan Nasional coalition was further exposed in no other than the Parliament, led by some unhappy men.

		<title>RPK released .. and a lesson well learned too?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, Raja Petra Kamaruddin was released on bail from the Sungai Buloh prison.
By looking at the reception given to him upon his release, the kind of applause won, hot pursuit from the journalists as well as many shutters happily clicking away with their cameras, it&#8217;s apparent that RPK is now being seen as leading the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How this country is fcuked by a bunch of hypocrites?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past few days, our homeland has been continuously shattered by undreamed of and  unimaginable reality.
Let me tell you why.
Joke #1.
A whopping RM792,325.20 was spent by the Government for the use of executive jets by PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Najib Tun Razak between Feb 24 and March 7, which is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Live parliament: Yes, No, Yes .. Then, No?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the public outcry over the unruly first sitting of Parliament, the Information Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek was thinking of scrapping the live telecast of proceedings in the Dewan Rakyat.

		<title>Tun Dr. Mahathir a.k.a Che Det is now, a blogger!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Che Det?
It&#8217;s former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad&#8217;s nickname as a child and his byline when he wrote for the Straits Times newspaper more than three decades ago.
The title &#34;Che&#34;, is a Malay title for young people. And &#34;Det&#34; is an abbreviation of his name.
In his introductory note on the blog (http://www.chedet.com), Mahathir said the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the pot is calling the kettle black, the public is going to witness more dirty linen washed in the public.
In this context, it&#8217;s a public spat between the duo, racing along the thin line by scapegoating each other.

		<title>Hishamuddin, minus the keris for the time being</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before the GE 2008, he brandished the keris.
He insisted that the keris does not necessarily imply Malay supremacy but carries multiple significances such as unity, wisdom and knowledge.
He took the whole event into such a delicate manner, despite the uproar from our multi-ethnic community.
That was before the GE 2008.
Now, he is aware that the aftermath [...]]]></description>

		<title>The old man, Lim Keng Yaik</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Arghh, Lim Keng Yaik the old man, such a despicable character, is at it again!
It&#8217;s only a few days when he wished Lee &#34;best of luck&#34; while stressing that he was not being sarcastic about it.
Today, LKY being his own-self, no longer able to curb his fervent desire to lash out at the ex-Gerakan strongman [...]]]></description>
