Umar Mukhtar The toddlers of kindergartens and primary schools during the Reformasi era will be eligible to vote in PRU14 in 2018. They don't give a fart about Anwar Ibrahim or Dr. Mahathir…

Rafizi's "big reveal" is no coincidence, nor is it indicative of a man suddenly bogged by conscience. This looks elaborate, and at this point, I don't believe any of the Opposition leaders care if…

Politicians from the opposition coalition are starting to find out just how troublesome it can be to ride the tiger; even if it is an old tiger named Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Joceline Tan, The…

Umar Mukhtar They say that interests are all that matter in politics. So if Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's goons had pulled out Lim Kit Siang's fingernails, that wouldn't stop LKS grovelling at the…

Kua Kia Soong, Malaysiakini A disturbing pattern is emerging. Pakatan Harapan leaders are so involved in their internal bickering they do not seem to realise what they are exposing about…
