Najib’s favourite attempt to delay justice is reported eye trouble. It must be clear to all concerned, and the trial judge in particular, that he and his lawyers will resort to any and all dodges to try to spin out his trial until the next election! Though why he should think that that election will […]

UMNO President Zahid recently filled in his waiting time before being prosecuted for a series of BN linked offences by expressing the view that UMNO could become a “third force” in national politics along with “new friends” PAS. He may be right, assuming that UMNO remains a registered society; something about which there is some

UMNO and PAS members of the Assembly are opposed to the introduction of declaration of assets by Members. No room for astonishment there. Many of them would find it impossible to explain a true declaration in the light of their past employment history. Perhaps the most ingenious excuse offered for non compliance with the declaration

Former Minister and Najib relative Hishamuddin is reported as trying to get Malay members from the governing PH coalition to demand that the Prime Minister be “allowed” to stay in that office for the full term of the current Administration. Why he should think that the matter in any way concerns him; a failed Minister,

This largely Malay political party, whose former leader Najib, and his deputy Zahid, both face multiple charges of corruption and other offences has now gone on public record as calling for the DAP to be banned if its leaders  are responsible for a publication, already proscribed, which promotes communism. As all concerned know, the DAP

According to reports MACC chief Latheefa Koya stated that a number of complaints alleging bribery involving members of the Judiciary had been received; by her agency one assumes. If that number related to the Najib era one would be surprised that it was so small. But under the present government it must ring alarm bells.

The open spat in the Press between a section of the PDRM which is supposed to be cloaked in secrecy and members of a political party which forms part of the governing alliance is neither seemly nor proper. No one disputes the necessity for the PDRM to have an element, or elements, operating in conditions

This is how a PAS “expert” described Malaysia’s likely growth. Presumably he does not know that most economies in the developed world would give their eye teeth for such a growth rate!   Indeed many of them face negative growth or growth rates far below Malaysia’s. If any further warning about PAS’s total unsuitability to govern,

After the very recent claim by the PDRM that the whereabouts of wanted criminal Jho Low were known to them the IGP is now quoted in the Press as declaring that it is”highly unlikely” that Jho Low is in the United States! That is putting it mildly! As a foreign national he would have to

MACC boss Lateefa i,s reported as saying that, for now, her Agency is only targeting those who have stolen over half a million from 1MDB funds. One has to assume that this “target” figure was set to distinguish the sheep from the goats. An odd way of pursuing justice but, leaving that to one side,

This was the reply given by the UMNO Secretary General when asked why his party had not published its suggestions for the next Budget. Like master like pupil. Najib was the head of UMNO when this “policy” was framed. And well he might say so. It relieved him of any necessity to explain what and

The deputy leader of PAS is reported as saying that the dominant race; meaning in his context the Malay community, must govern in  order to “ensure national stability” Are Malaysians to understand that “national stability”, whatever he meant by that, can only be ensured by a Malay dominated government? In that case how does he

There is currently much noise being made about nationality and communal adherence. The two cannot go together. Either one is a Malaysian or simply one not interested in and proud of one’s country but seeking advantage from the accident of birth. It really is as simple as that and for Malaysia to have any realistic

Press reports indicate that the PDRM have prevented some 25 terrorist “strikes” since 2013.  Such a large number of alleged incidents of the kind must be worrying to many Malaysians to whom this news comes as a surprise. Especially as, if there have been any, criminal proceedings against those responsible seem to have gone unreported.

A Sarawak minister is reported as describing the action of some Sarawakians as “despicable” when they were said to have remained seated during the playing of the national Anthem: Might it not be time for him to note the actions of his boss Taib and his fellow Ministers in destroying the entire rain forest of

Douglas Uggah, a Minister in the Sarawak State government, is reported as saying that this vast amount of land will be “set aside” for the “development of food crops”. He failed to say where the land is situated or to whom it belongs. Observers of Sarawak will know that the criminal BN regime has stolen

Over a year has passed since the reforming PH government was returned to power by an electorate sick to death of the corruption and associated crime which characterised the BN governments over decades. True the chef villain of the BN years, Najib, is on trial for a variety of criminal offences committed while he was

PAS supporters are reported as claiming that there is nothing but this in what they apparently refer to as the “Pakatan era”. Since the word era implies a long period of time this would appear to be an admission that Malaysia can look forward to a long spell of PH government! Unfortunately these “doomers and

No it isn’t and MACC chief Latifa is either being misled in forming that view or the well known tactic of treating a problem as “too complicated” is once more being applied to avoid sorting out Sarawak, its criminal Governor and all his criminal associates. In fact it is among the simplest problems that MACC

Th IGP has stated publicly that not only do the PDRM know where Jho Low is but they hope to have him in Malaysia by the end of the year. That is in little over three months.  Commendable police work on the location but how exactly can the PDRM get hold of him and, if

Although charged as a mega thief Najib, continuing his campaign to try to whitewash his alleged crimes, now tells Malaysians that they “benefited” from his actions and should be grateful. He fails to distinguish between the limited number of his fellow criminals who did benefit from robbing the public and the electorate who sensibly booted

Everyone one has the right of private defence and if police officers face attack by deathly force their right to respond is well settled and not up for argument. That said there is currently some public concern over incidents where persons have been shot and killed by the police. As such matters are the subject

As might have been expected, and possibly was pre-arranged, PAS wasted no time in agreeing to work with the minority Malay dominated Sarawak party GPS. Birds of a feather or, in this case, of a race. It does not appear to concern PAS at all that GPS sit in the Federal Assembly on the government

Hardly a day passes that we do not hear another lying outburst by alleged mega thief Najib about supposed spending by the PH government. Quite what he is hoping to accomplish by this puerile carping or indeed who, perhaps apart from himself, he is trying to convince is not clear. What is obvious is that

Recent indications of political panic in Sarawak on the part of the ruling BN party have now been underlined in a striking, if unsurprising, way. Faced with the strong possibility that Putrajaya, despite hesitating so far, might now let loose the MACC on the wholly corrupt GPS administration in that State we see the curious
