Umno was once an institution. Today, Umno is a struggling political party trying very hard to remain relevant. Keeping Umno around is like keeping that old sampan under your house on stilts to row…

It is now more than one week and Najib is still in prison. The BossKu supporters are now being told that Najib can only be pardoned after GE16, as he needs to serve at least half his sentence before…

Rafizi trains guns on PN, lists its failures in govt (FMT) - PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has trained his guns at Perikatan Nasional (PN), listing the coalition’s main failures during its 18…

Whatever it may be, and whichever scenario may be fact, and which one may be fiction, it appears that the government post-GE15 is not going to be stable and may not last the full five years. Even…

The real blood to be spilled will be during the party elections next year, not during the general election next month. And that will be when Ismail Sabri Yaakob will really have to fight for his…

To justify dissolving parliament early to hold a snap GE15, Umno will need to win at least a simple majority (112 seats and above). If Umno-Barisan Nasional wins less than 100 seats, say just 80…

On 30th October 2018, then Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad accused former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak of lying about the donation he received from Saudi Arabia. Actually,…

The 25th November 2007 Hindraf rally was a huge success -- and that had an effect on the 8th March 2008 general election -- just like the 5th November 2007 Bersih rally did. And Ronnie was very much…

I have noticed many people criticising Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob for speaking Malaysia's national language at overseas events. What's wrong with that? Many other world leaders also speak…

They say Najib and Zahid are guilty of corruption. Maybe according to the (written) law they are guilty. But according to the political tradition and culture, and the unwritten rules of Malaysian…

Umno is a political party and Umno leaders are politicians. So, as politicians, they need to consider whether an open support for Najib, now that he is in jail serving his sentence, is politically…

Rosmah Mansor's guilty verdict has already been written. You can view the three-page summary of the 74-page written judgement below. However, the written judgement was not written by the trial…

Today, Najib’s lawyers are upset about the shabby treatment and blatant injustice he is being subjected to. Well, 13 years ago I left Malaysia at the insistence of Marina (who could no longer endure…

Three years ago, Malaysia Today published the original MACC investigation papers regarding Lim Guan Eng's corruption involving the Penang Undersea Tunnel. In case you may have forgotten, you can…

Kit Siang is not the guardian of principles and standards. In the first place he has no principles and very low standards. The more Kit Siang talks the more he stinks to high heavens. Just shut the…

So please stop talking about reforms, democracy, and civil liberties if you wish to place Islam as supreme. Reforms, democracy, and civil liberties mean Islam cannot dictate what you do, and that…

Hence the politics of Malaysia is not that simple or straightforward. This is not about democracy, mandat rakyat, a clean and transparent government, etc. This is about who will be in charge of…

And now Malaysia is in deep shit because of Tommy Thomas and Pakatan Harapan. Pergi mengaku salah buat apa? Sabah was granted to Gustavus Baron von Overbeck and Alfred Dent by the Sultan of Brunei…

The opposition is opposed to detention without trial, so it is bewildering that they did not take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone in yesterday’s parliament vote. Whatever it may be,…

In short, hold the general election now. After the general election the economy will collapse. But Umno-BN would have five years till the next general election in 2027 -- so it really does not…

Anyway, the bottom line is, the Malaysian government is in touch with Jho Low (since 2018) and Jho Low is able to shed some light on the true story of 1MDB (which he has, but unofficially or off the…

Lokman Adam has asked Umno to take disciplinary action against Ismail Sabri for his so-called “secret deal” with Perikatan Nasional, the coalition which Umno is part of. With Anwar’s revelation…

The question is, is Lokman doing this on purpose? Is Lokman a Trojan horse who is trying to hurt Najib instead of help save him? The way things are going, Najib may end up in jail while Ismail will…

Anyone who receives a remuneration or is paid a salary for the work he or she does cannot be trusted and must be assumed to be dishonest or a crook. NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin…

And that is going to be Tommy Thomas’ real legacy: how he ignored a case against Malaysia and caused Malaysia to suffer a loss of RM67 billion all due to his arrogant and pompous attitude. NO HOLDS…

Yes, as they say in America, “show me the money!”, or “money talks, bullshit walks!” So no need for Ismail Sabri to layan all these tantrums from Umno, Bersatu, etc. Just figure out how to put more…

This is treason of the highest degree. There is nothing DAP can say that can justify what they have done, just like no Jew can explain why he or she wants Hitler as their prime minister. DAP has…

In that sense DAP is smarter than Umno. DAP knows when to talk and when to shut up. Umno talks too much and does not know when it should stop talking. And the confession by Tok Mat to Asia Times…

All great Empires eventually disappear. The vast Malay Empire disappeared when the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish and British came to the Asian shores centuries ago. Today, the Malays cannot even keep…

Hitler did the same in Germany. The Nazi party created chaos to justify going to war, and the result was 60 million deaths and destruction. Umno, too, has its Hitler-like crazies. They are prepared…
