Yearning for political power is how PN personality and Najib relative Hishamuddin described some unnamed political personalities. He could not, however hard he tried, have better summed up himself. A failed former defence chief he does not have any obvious claims to wield such power. By all means let him try to secure the support […]

Press reports flowing thick and fast detail “audiences” of politicians by the Agong. The ordinary Malaysian citizen could be forgiven for thinking that the enormously expensive palace occupied by whichever Ruler happens to be taking a turn in the office of Agong is the centre of political power in the country. This is an illusion

According to Press reports, so far not denied, the Agong is “feeling that the present government’s activities should not be interrupted”. That, of course, is merely a journalistic take and not supported by any official announcement, However no one would be surprised to learn that such an opinion is based on fact. After all the

The the clause in the Federal Constitution that requires Parliament to sit every six months or to be dissolved is the sword that now hangs over the head of the coup coalition and its “selected in advance” puppet Moo. It has to be supposed that those behind the PN coup (and al Malaysians know full

Former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir is right to ask the PN crook coalition where this enormous sum of money, allocated to deal with the Covid epidemic, has gone? Obviously some of it has been spent on vaccines. PN personalities, Mahiaddin to the fore, have publicised themselves as receiving vaccination; boasting about being the first to

Press reports quote Pejuang leader, Dr. Mahathir as stating that his application to register his political party, Pejuang, is being blocked by the Registrar of Societies who, he alleges, is following orders to that effect from the coup government PN. It is, of course, open to the Registrar to offer any alternative explanations for the

If it didn’t have the ministry stamp on it Malaysians would have to treat the statement by GPS’s trade and consumer affairs minister Alexander Linggi as a joke in the worst possible taste. They might also ask themselves what the authors of this statement about shopping had been smoking. So watch out! When your two

As a vicious pretence. The “emergency” confected by PN with top level support was never intended to counter Covid 19 but rather to keep in power an illegitimate government headed by a nobody handpicked by two ‘superior beings’ to allow the suspension of democracy and permit steps back into a past that most Malaysians had

It is a public shame on both the justice system and the PDRM that any death occurring in police custody can pass without an inquest being held. Calls on the new IGP to ensure that this negligence, to use the least provocative word, should cease permanently are both welcome and a test of sincerity When

Is how PAS guru Hadi is reported to have described opponents of the PN emergency declaration. So what does that mean and which terrorists was he referring to? Those firing rockets indiscriminately at a civilian population? Or those seeking to destroy political opponents in Yemen? Or, more probably in the Malaysian context, those from the

An “official”announcement by a functionary of Sarawak’s present ruling party states that the date of dissolution of that States’ legislative assembly will be announced by the Agong. All Malaysians solicitous of the Agong’s wellbeing will deplore any addition to his existing burdens, especially any not provided for in the Constitution. Among which are to be

Is what the PDRM official apparently in charge of controlling entry to the residence of coup “minister” Azmin is reported to have stated concerning the events of Hari Raya at that house. Any visits by non residents would, of course, have breached the covid regulations. Freedom of belief is one of the basic rights of

PM Mahiaddin is quoted as saying that the cost of Covid had weighed heavily on the national economy. He is reported to have added that he is “not good at calculation”. Arithmetically one supposes since his calculation about politics and how he could use his top level support to move from underdog to the Prime

Press reports indicate that the prosecution of Najib’s female spymaster for the 50 million ringgit missing from her former department’s funds was halted due to the prosecution indicating that they would not proceed any further. The same reports are silent on why that decision was reached; perhaps because that was not shared with the Court.

In a statement openly racist  PN Home “minister” Hamzah referred to “associate members” of Bersatu who, reportedly, have their own separate division of Bersatu reserved for those unfortunate enough not to have been born Malays. Based on Hamzah’s reported words the Bersatu announcement included an intention to speed up the appointment of a head of

The latest criminal action by the minority PN “government” is to use the “emergency” to authorise PN to allow funds to be spent beyond what was authorised in the recent “budget” ! Not content with pillaging the public purse by a “Budget” the King had demanded by passed by a dubious Parliament under threat of

PDRM harassment of protesters in connection with UNDI 18 is righty criticised by PH leader Anwar. If the PDRM have nothing better to do than harass young people then it is time to make some sweeping reductions in its numbers; starting with the IGP. Everyone in Malaysia knows that young people are fully aware of

Press reports quote a PN youth information chief as claiming that PN has displayed  “leadership, policy wisdom and sincerity” in defending the people’s welfare since it “took office” Possibly he meant to say that PN ministers, headed by ‘PM8’ had done all of that. For themselves! It is a pity that he did not think

In a cynical speech “Prime Minister” Moo claimed, amid other inaccuracies, that only 1.7 per cent of “forested areas” in Malaysia are “degraded” Obviously he knows nothing, or prefers to pretend ignorance, about the disaster inflicted on Sarawak and Sabah forests (and on the Peninsular) by his political allies, notably Taib Mahmud. Does he also

Is how some officers of the PDRM are described in press reports as being “unhappy and threatened” by the “strong anti corruption stand” adopted by the current IGP. What sort of a world are Malaysians finding themselves living in when corrupt coppers can be openly described as “young turks”? It is entirely believable that there

UMNO’s Deputy president is quoted saying that Malaysian democracy  must be better and stronger than before and going on to say that “recent events” had uncovered the weakness and fragility of Malaysia’s democracy. You can say that again! Or less politely and obliquely that a group of political gangsters had, with top level support, imposed

Is what the frog PM is promising Malaysian voters. Just quite what sort of new deal he didn’t bother to explain. Malaysians are just supposed to take his word for it!  He addd that PN would be there for a long time stay! Was that a prediction about the result io the next general election?

Keep each other company. But that does not mean that they are super intelligent. The truth of that is demonstrated by the defection of PKR MLA Jayakumar to ‘PM8’s’ PN. Unfortunately what little was said to justify this latter day frog jumping did not explain the motive of this particular “frog”. But most Malaysians will

Press reports indicate that senior PH personalities have been questioned by the PDRM over a PH media statement on the emergency proclamation. Presumably the PDRM have found something in the law that makes criticism of government actions illegal? Or does such criticism imply an attack on the Agong as press reports on this incident seem

Former Defence and current Foreign Minister, Najib relative Hishamuddin, has circulated photos showing Malaysia’s ‘PM8’ finally receiving his ‘personal welcome’ by the Saudi Crown Prince (who just happened to be at the airport to also meet the Kings of Jordan and Bahrain and Moo timed his visit back from Medina). It is a meeting that
