The main issue here is regarding Dr Mahathir’s allegation that 1MDB has ‘burned’ RM42 billion (see The Malaysian Insider news report below). Najib is being accused of ‘menghilangkan’ RM42 billion.…

And this is why many view Dr Mahathir as the best Prime Minister Malaysia ever had. He was brave. He knew what he wanted. He knew what Umno needed. And he did not fear breaking the rules and…

During one meeting in Tengku Razaleigh’s house around nine years ago, the Umno activists and campaigners told him they could guarantee he can topple Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and…

Najib played a crucial role in that tussle and had he not rallied Pemuda Umno behind the Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir would have been ousted after just six years in office instead of serving as…

The Umno boys tell me Najib is going to be ousted very soon, maybe even in May itself. I am not so sure about that. Dr Mahathir can tell you it is not that easy to oust a Prime Minister. And Dr…

After wrongly predicting the Rompin and Permatang Pauh by-election majority votes I do not dare forecast the number of seats or number of votes that Pakatan Rakyat will win in GE 2015. But I think…

And are you telling me that Najib does not know this? Dr Mahathir already complained about Najib giving in to Singapore. So why would Najib do what he did and say what he said yesterday? Does…

Lorrain, however, would not talk. He told me he would never reveal the truth while all those involved are still alive. This ‘I cannot reveal the truth while all those involved are still alive’…

So Dr Mahathir owed his 22-year career as Prime Minister to Anwar and Najib -- Najib for swinging and Anwar for blackmailing Najib into swinging. And then Dr Mahathir put Anwar in jail and now…

When you know the PAS people very well then you will know that although they talk about Islam non-stop they are just like any other politicians with their sex scandals and scams. And they will…

And that, and not Dr Mahathir, will be what will determine the fate of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. And make sure I do not have to write yet another ‘I told you so’ article a year or so down…

But this is not about personal likes and dislikes. This is about the good of the opposition and to make sure that Malaysia has a strong opposition to keep the ruling party in check, whichever of…

With the de facto leader of PKR in jail, Dr Mahathir has now taken over as the de facto Opposition Leader from Anwar Ibrahim with full support by even those like Azmin who are Anwar Ibrahim…

As the late Tun Muhammad Ghazali Shafie was fond of saying, “The silence is deafening.” That is what people are saying about Najib as well: the silence is deafening. Sun Tzu, however, says: when…

So this cannot be allowed because in 2018 Mukhriz Mahathir must be given a parliament seat to contest. By then Najib, according to the plan, would no longer be the Prime Minister, if Dr Mahathir…

Sigh…first Pak Lah refused to appoint Najib Tun Razak as his deputy. Then he tried to bring Anwar back into Umno. And when he failed to tell Singapore to go to hell by building the Crooked Bridge,…

When Tengku Razaleigh told us that Dr Mahathir was going to make Najib the Prime Minister instead because he (Tengku Razaleigh) did not agree to the old man’s terms, we told him: why so stupid?…

The question is: is Dr Mahathir using the opposition or is the opposition using Dr Mahathir? I suppose it could be a case of both parties using each other for their mutual benefit of grabbing…

There was no turning back now. Pak Lah was now in a corner so he had no choice but to announce that Najib was his number two. And Pak Lah’s announcement came 24 hours later -- 24 hours after Dr…

Dr Mahathir said, prior to 1st November 2003, he spent 15 months discussing with Pak Lah what must be done once Pak Lah takes over. Everything was agreed. But when Pak Lah took over he reneged on…

Anwar told Daim that if Dr Mahathir tries to get rid of him he would fight Dr Mahathir till the very end. Daim advised Anwar that it would be foolish to take on Dr Mahathir because the Prime…

But why did Dr Mahathir sack Anwar and replace him with Pak Lah and what happened in those 15 months before Pak Lah took over? Why was Dr Mahathir very angry with Pak Lah just three years later,…

But the even bigger issue is: if Ku Li could not agree to the Council running the country with a puppet as a Prime Minister back in 2006-2007, will he agree to it now? If he had agreed to it back…

But that was not what people like the Tunku are made of. And while he was ousted because he was too friendly with the Chinese and gave the Chinese too much face and was not Malay enough, the Tunku…

Little did the Tunku realise that what he said would actually come true -- in that Dr Mahathir would take over as Prime Minister. But those of us who lived through the 1960s and witnessed the…

Anyway, that was when I realised how good a politician Dr Mahathir is and I actually became pro-Mahathir at that time. He ousted the First Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman. The Second Prime…

Dr Mahathir never forgave the Chinese. The following year he wrote a book called ‘The Malay Dilemma’, which was perceived as an anti-Chinese book. Because it was so controversial and seditious,…

When Nasaruddin discovered that he was not going to replace Nizar as the Perak Menteri Besar after all, he went back to Umno and two State Assemblymen from PKR, Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Osman…

Personally I do not support Hudud. But I do support the right of PAS to push ahead since it obtained 100% support in Kelantan. I also do not support the Kajang Move. And I do not support the…

Most likely the Bill will be defeated. But it will not be Umno that defeats this Bill. It will be the Muslim MPs who do so and not at the behest of Umno. So Umno may come out the winner in this…
