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
