Wednesday, December 16, 2009
So the PR is apparently divided over the issue of local council elections ahead of its convention, according to the Malaysian Insider. Ai-yah, like that also cannot agree! What’s the problem? Still want to follow the old BN way of rewarding supporters through appointments to local town councils?

Today also happens to be the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against

Friday, November 13, 2009
The plight of the Herald Catholic weekly newspaper in Malaysia must be a public relations nightmare for the Najib administration – as if it doesn’t have enough problems as it is. If the government has really cancelled the permit (which it now reportedly denies) what does that say for the 1Malaysia concept and the government’s credibility
