Same As It Ever Was
More evidence that it’s going to be more of the same from UMNO:
The proposed Barisan Nasional (BN) convention scheduled for Feb 14 has been postponed, according to component party sources, citing logistical problems in getting some 2,000 delegates from all component parties to attend.
However a BN component party leader said the postponement was due to [...]
Desperate Times
With what happened to the late A. Kugan, I suppose our man here thought this would be the opportune time to exact revenge:
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has lodged a report to counter allegations that an Umno division leader was assaulted by MACC officers during detention.
Earlier, the 46-year-old division leader from Maran, Pahang, reported that [...]
Options For A Compromise
Something’s going on here:
The suggestion by the Besut Umno division that candidates for the party’s deputy presidency compromise to avoid a contest is not a far-fetched one, said Umno Youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
He said the matter was not impossible as that was Umno’s way and that due consideration for determining the party’s [...]
Criminals And Demons
Ah, yes:
The people should not regard criminals as heroes and the police who enforce the law as demons, Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said today. [Bernama via The Malaysian Insider]
True dat … criminals should not be regarded as heroes.
Kodomo Lion indeed has a point.
However, no one, not the police, not even Kodomo Lion, [...]
No Talk, No Action
No more talk. At least for now:
Kementerian Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri (MITI) akan menghentikan sementara rundingan perjanjian perdagangan bebas (FTA) dengan Amerika Syarikat (AS) sehingga mendapat arahan lanjut daripada Kabinet.
Menterinya, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin berkata, kerajaan tidak perlu tergesa-gesa untuk memuktamadkan proses FTA dengan AS, terutama dalam situasi semasa apabila negara tersebut memberi sokongan penuh [...]
Still Useless
I received very interesting comments to my post, Weep for Gazza.
Thank you for spending time to respond but can anybody tell me why Hamas are such a bunch of fucking useless morons and cowards who hide behind defenceless civilians and condone the murder of children?
What has Hamas done to effectively remove the suffering of the [...]
Weep For Gazza
This is the last chance:
England football legend Paul Gascoigne said drink and drug addiction nearly killed him in 2008 and knows he is now on his last chance to save himself.
In an interview published on Friday, Gascoigne, 41, who is in a rehabilitation clinic on the southern English coast trying to get his life back [...]
In The Beginning
Let’s see how Francis Yeoh, the self-professed steward of God’s wealth, got started on his way to being a very “powerful” man.
For that, I shall refer to a 1996 article in the New York Times, which was based on an interview he gave to the newspaper:
Perhaps no other project solidified Mr. Yeoh’s position as the [...]
Power Hungry
A YTL Power source says its power proposal is good shit:
YTL Power has proposed to invest almost RM4 billion, assuming it can build a new 1,200-megawatt plant, to replace its ageing plants.
The source explained that the proposal was not to double YTL Power’s capacity but rather for the group to maintain its current generation size.
The [...]
Who’s The Boss?
Man, this is right out of a Tamil movie:
Malaysian Indian political leaders from both sides of the country’s political divide are heading to Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu in India this week to attend a conference which is likely to be an explosive affair.
Malaysian Indian political leaders from the MIC, DAP and PKR are [...]
