It is very welcome news that Dr, Mahathir and Anwar Ibrahim have agreed to sink political differences to combine efforts against the thief Najib. That alliance brings the full weight of all three major communities in Malaysia to bear against the would be dictator and mega thief Najib. The next question must be one for […]

Najib Razak’s UMNO-led coalition government in Malaysia is the longest-serving regularly elected government in the world, having run the country since independence in the late 1950s. However, its legitimacy has long been in question, with electoral manipulation by UMNO certainly stacking the odds in their favour in recent times. Although Malaysia’s then Minister for Youth and

Historically the Malays have a reputation for bravery and for battling for their beliefs and their possessions. They did not let themselves be oppressed or cheated out of what was rightfully theirs. Does that remain true today? Are Malays still prepared to fight for what is rightfully theirs or are they content supinely to allow

As a Muslim Najib will know what the Holy Quran has to say about thieving, about killing and about lying. Not to mention the sin of pride. So if he had hoped that his latest visit to Saudi Arabia and the publicity photos of him praying will clean up his reputation there he will be

You know what that means. Countries like Zimbabwe. Like Somalia. Like many others where there is no rule of law; just the rule of the gun and the torture chamber, Countries where no one wants to be but just cannot escape from. Your own country, Malaysia, is on the edge, the very edge, of sharing

The Malay community was promised by UMNO in 1957 and since that its position of primacy would remain permanently The handicaps, resulting mainly from the fact that is largely an economic underclass, would be erased by special status and special privileges not open to other citizens of the new Malaysia. On that basis UMNO received

For decades the tropical forests of Sarawak and Sabah have been pillaged by thieves. Timber companies and politicians have shared equally in the proceeds of this environmental crime and become billionaires on the back of it. They pay bribes; not taxes and at the same time have almost entirely destroyed a natural resource that belongs

There comes a time in the history of every nation when speaking out changes from an option to a necessity. For Malaysia that time is now. Every Malaysian knows about the cimes committed by Najib Razak and only the corrupted few around him pretend otherwise. For money? For jobs? To try to save their own

History is full of examples  where political leaders have faced these moments and failed to act or even to notice. The terrible catastrophe of World War Two need never have happened if those then in positions of power and responsibility had acted decisively when newly minted Reich Chancellor Hitler ordered his troops into the then

The construction industry and the agriculture sector in Malaysia requires more skilled labor and semi-skilled workers to generate the national economy. The demand of employment which was very much needed in all sectors of the national economy. There’s no denying the problem of the labor force in this country urgently needed because many local people,

People all over the world worry about big problems like hunger, like climate change, like bad or inefficient government; and many others that affect most or all of us. But no one seems to worry about the fundamental problem driving the rest.  Corruption. If justice can be bought. If governments can be bought. If everything

Recently Malaysian PM Najib paid an unpublicised visit to Singaore, even going so far as to leave from an East coast town in order to avoid media attention. Was he asking the Singapore Government for that $600 million plus in his bank account to be unfrozen? His plea did not exactly fall on deaf ears,

This contest could hardly have come at a worse time for Malaysia’s ruling BN party which is  struggling to pretend that its President, Najib Razak, is not a mega thief and worse and that Malaysia is  not riddled with corruption and criminal activity; not merely tolerated by BN but managed by it. In normal democratic

First Switzerland, then Singapore. Then the US and now London. All investigating money laundering and other crimes by Najib Razak’s criminal bed-fellows. Did he ever seriously think that these could cheat both his own people AND the international monetary authorities?  The first, maybe. Corruption is hardly a new phenomenon in Malaysia, but never before on

Sometimes those who leak real or pretend secrets do so for reasons of conscience. Others do it for money or other material reward. Some others yet from pride or conscience. But few, very few, do it out of sheer stupidity. So Attorney General, ex-judge and nascent business tycoon at Tabung Haji, Apandi stands out as
