After the debacle Malaysian Insider went through in twisting Marina Mahathir’s and Bridget Welsh words, and after being chastised by both ladies for practising atrocious journalistic behaviour, the Insider were at it again with their pro opposition agenda of misinforming the general public. An article by Bernama was published in Malaysian Insider as below. Please … Continue reading »

Tunku Aziz’s parting shots
I take great interest in what Tunku Aziz had to say in The Star today. I think there are many pertinent points raised by Tunku Aziz in that interview which had confirmed or validated whatever some bloggers, including yours truly about Lim Guan Eng’s administration of DAP politics as well as Pakatan Rakyat in general. … Continue reading »

Goodbye 2010, welcome 2011
What a year that was! 2010 was an exciting year indeed. Following are the main events that were written by yours truly all throughout the year. It started off with the important judgment by Justice Lau Bee Lan in an intriguing case between the Catholic Herald and the Home Ministry. The judge ruled that the … Continue reading »
When a funny article deemed not funny by TNB
I read with amazement Rocky’s latest article here. A few government machinery had taken the trouble to mobilise a charge in the sessions court over a satire? The satire was so harmless, it boggles the mind as to why TNB would want to proceed with the charges. The said blogger, Hassan Skodeng, apologised soon after … Continue reading »
What is going on, Karpal?
Due to limited ways in defending the indefensible, the defence team of Anwar Ibrahim, led by Karpal Singh, had begun to attack the credibility of the main witness – Saiful Bukhari. The opening salvo is to paint a picture that Saiful is not a good muslim (as if that has any relevance to the facts … Continue reading »
UEM vs GIE – What is the final verdict?
A case that is quite oblivious to most people right now is the court battle between our own UEM Group Berhad and Singaporean Genisys Integrated Engineers Pte. Ltd (“GIE”). The case that started in 2000 will get it’s finality when judgment will be meted out by the Federal Court tomorrow. Initially, the decision was to … Continue reading »

V. Sivakumar’s constitutional expert
Announcement : I accidentally clicked the ‘comment off’ button when I posted this article. Have made the correction. ______________________________________________ The situation in Perak is becoming more absurd by the day. Aduns from Pakatan Rakyat meet under the tree? Now I am sure there are a saner approach to deal about this. I am surprised that the Pakatan Rakyat leaders … Continue reading »
Zaid Ibrahim and his mistaken agenda
Datuk Zaid Ibrahim speaks again! This time at the 13th Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institution last week. For a start, he wants the government to take human rights seriously. Everytime I read about Zaid Ibrahim, I was reminded about several issues which kept popping in my head; the ex gratia money issue … Continue reading »
Somebody took the jam out of Ian Chin’s donuts!
I think High Court judge Ian Chin should just keep his mouth shut before anything he says will tarnish his reputation as a judge. He fired another salvo yesterday : “…Dr Mahathir for what he had done and for what he is trying to do is a devil incarnate but to those who had suffered under his hands, … Continue reading »
Now why did Tun Salleh Abas never mention about his first letter?
Tun Dr Mahathir in his latest post mentioned the existence of the first letter which very much annoyed the then Agong. That was the basis of his removal. Since the Agong appointed him in 1984, it was the same Agong who wanted to remove him in 1988. I reckon, Tun Salleh’s pride and ego had clouded … Continue reading »
Tun Salleh Abas should challenge Sultan Johor too!
I read with mild amusement on Tun Salleh Abas’ statement over Matthias Chang article in Big Dog’s blog. His opening statement reads somewhat like this; “Since (Matthias Chang) doubts my innocence, (he) should devote his activities towards getting a government agreement to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate into the circumstances of my dismissal … Continue reading »
Now you can blackmail your way to Parliament (Updated)
12 May 2008: I have always stated that people need to judge the leaders very carefully before pledging their support and loyalty towards them. This support and loyalty could be an act of misplaced blind faith towards the wrong kind of leader. In my previous post, I touched upon the issue of an apparent blackmailing activity by Datuk … Continue reading »
The Crisis of 1987 – 1988 : Is there a third side of a coin?
Pursuant to the blog article “The two sides of a coin : The Crisis of 1987 - 1988“, I think Pak Lah’s administration had made a grave mistake. It seems like in the haste of trying to be popular, Pak Lah and his advisers had caved in to the demands of a few minority. A letter to Malaysiakini by … Continue reading »
