Everything in Malaysia is about politics. Everything! Even religion. Never mind whether it is Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Harapan. It is all the same. Are you suggesting that Pakatan Harapan plays…

In the 1970s, Selangor MB Datuk Harun Idris was convicted and jailed for corruption. He was accused of accepting a bribe of RM250,000 for approving state land to a foreign bank. Actually, it was…

Smart people not only do not join politics, many also do not come out to vote. Why do you think the voter turnout of late is very low? When they see that both sides of the political divide field…

In November 2000, Asiaweek came out with a report on bailouts involving Mahathir, Anwar, and Daim (which you read below). In fact, Petronas was used many times for all these bailouts -- and twice in…

But then, to be able to get a royal pardon, Zahid must first go to jail. The Agong cannot pardon someone who has not yet been convicted and gone to jail. Hence, ironically, Zahid’s only hope for…

What is more intriguing is if we scrutinise the charge under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009, it explicitly states that, ‘between 17th August 2011 and 8th February 2012’, Najib had ‘used his…

Tengku Maimun pointed out that she had instead called for tip-offs on allegations of judicial misconduct to allow for probes to be carried out. “I say if you have some evidence that a particular…

Appointing the company that serves Goldman Sachs to manage the affairs of 1MDB is not only a clear conflict of interest but a criminal act as well. The purpose of appointing an administrator for…

Furthermore, the ad hoc prosecutor, V. Sithambaram, and the trial judge, Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, need to be investigated for fabricating charges against Najib and for suppressing evidence that…

ABUSE OF POWER SCANDAL BY TOP MANAGEMENT AND OFFICERS OF THE SECURITIES COMMISSION – SO MUCH FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE OUTGOING CHAIRMAN NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin Much has been said…

So, no! No Selamat Hari Raya. There is nothing to celebrate. We failed the most important test of Ramadan. We do not deserve to celebrate our failure as if we are celebrating victory. NO HOLDS…

In short, this is no longer just about Nazlan Ghazali’s alleged conflict of interest. It is about Nazlan committing a criminal act by sitting to hear a trial in which he knows the charges are…

Since the 1990s, the opposition had been asking the government to set the minimum wage at RM1,200 a month. When they came to power in 2018, they did not do this. Now the opposition is complaining…

The Chief Justice and Bar Council are wrong that investigating or arresting a judge for a criminal act or for wrongdoing translates to an attack on the judiciary or it means not respecting…

Now can you see why Nazlan could not afford to find Najib not guilty? He had to find Najib guilty to protect himself. Nazlan's hands were dirty, and finding Najib not guiilty will reveal these dirty…

The Vietnamese boat people of the 1970s and 1980s got far better treatment than the ‘brothers and sisters in Islam’. The Vietnamese boat people had a home on Pulau Bidong and were well-provided with…

Anyway, an interest-free ‘loan’ which needs not be paid back is a bribe. And the fact that 17 companies benefited from giving Tok Mat this so-called ‘soft loan’ is proof that the RM10 million Tok…

Did Nazlan know what happened to the RM42 million after that? The answer is most certainly yes, and we shall later reveal a couple of emails to show that he was ‘in the loop’ and involved at all…

Umno people claim the investigation against Tok Mat was classified NFA (no further action). That is not entirely true. The investigation was merely frozen on the instructions of Dr Mahathir, but the…

The “khemah besar” electoral pact will be so unstable that it may never even get to form the government if it wins GE15. And against the backdrop of so much uncertainty, the voters, especially the…

It is said the RM1,036,127.40 in cash which Nazlan banked into his Maybank account is part of the RM2 million he received from Jho Low for “services rendered”. What services was this and since Jho…

GE15 is Anwar’s last chance to become prime minister. If he fails to do it this time around, then his career is finished. In GE16, Anwar will be 80 years old, and hence too old to become PM in a…

Anwar’s own inner circle feels Pakatan Harapan is not going to win GE15, or even GE16. Others, however, say this “declaration of defeat” is meant to lull Umno and Barisan Nasional into a false sense…

The ball is now at Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s feet. He can continue to KIV Tok Mat’s three criminal charges, like Mahathir and Muhyiddin Yassin before him. But he will need to explain to…

Maybe it is not true that ‘Nero fiddled while Rome burned’. But that is precisely what is happening in Malaysia. And while Malaysians argue about which party should be the government and which…

That is too bad, then. If the Cabinet knew about the RM2.6 billion donation from the Saudis, and approved it, then they are collectively responsible for any crime, if a crime has in fact been…

Yes, Anwar invented Malaysia’s political katak culture. He turned crossovers into an art form. Anwar’s 48-year track record in politics has been one of crossing over from one side to the other. And…
