Buy Your Way Out Of Jail

Using other people’s money!  Malaysian justice covered itself in infamy with this politically inspired action and showed that, once more, the Courts will do as they are told, just as in mega criminal Najb’s heyday. Justice is founded on judicial integrity. The system could not work otherwise. Malaysian justice is, it seems, is being degraded […]

Double Headed Minister?

Press reports show that ISMAIL SABRI, in addition to being Malaysia’s joke Interior Minister is also the Minister of Defence. What can be the problem with PN?  Do they regard national defence as so unimportant that it can be handled part time by a Minister pre-occupied with threatening the public about Covid? One has to

False Statement

The “fake” PN administration are at it again. Malaysians will have noticed, with surprise, the announcement that proceedings against mega criminal Najib’s step son had been stayed. So they will not be further surprised by a public statement by former AG Tommy Thomas that he had nothing to do with that action. Attempts by the

Hopelessly Confused Dictator

Yes. “senior minister” Sabri again. It seems that a day cannot pass without him publicly demonstrating his unsuitability for his present “temporary” post. The latest boob concerns allowing, or rather not allowing those stuck in their home towns to return to the cities. He entirely fails to explain how it was safe to allow this

Not Me. Him

The Speaker has, quite rightly, issued a statement showing that the decision to close down all debate next Monday at the Assembly sitting was NOT his but as a result of an ORDER from illegitimate PM Muyhiddin. Whether such an order is legal will be a matter for PH when it removes the “coup” illegal

Divine Protection?

Press reports indicate that a PN/PAS “minister” ignored the Covid regulations of his own “watchdog” “minister” Ismail Sabri, by holding a multi person meeting in his office at Putrajaya. Possibly he thought that such pettifogging regulations did not apply to a religious bigwig such as himself. Perhaps he will offer a public explanation? Dont hold

Damned Dangerous

The cash from dams swindle may be about to burst with the Sarawak authorities issuing warnings that levels in the Bakun dam have swollen to the point where flooding may occur. It would have been more honest to warn that a breach of the dam, due to its botched construction, could occur at any time.

Dictators Don’t Change

“Senior minister” Ismail Sabri continues his threatening attitude to the public (a few of which elected him) by saying that if the relaxed lockdown rules are abused he will use “stricter measures” Such as? Shooting violators on sight? Indefinite imprisonment without trial? Or what else? He did not elaborate, possibly because he did not know

No Hair Cuts

The latest ukase from “senior minister” Ismail Sabri sternly warns the public that haircuts are forbidden. A less dictatorial minister might have thought of the plight of those who make their living as barbers. But not this “minister” who seems positively to enjoy depriving Malaysians of the means to make a living and feed their

Heil Sabri

This “senior minister” continues to demonstrate that he is not fit to be a person in charge of public security. His latest act in demonstrating that is to issue public threats that the police will fine shop owners who “do not follow health standard operating procedures.” Has he, or any other “coup minister” made sure

Are You Sleeping?

A question to be put to the IGP over the scandalous detention of a man reportedly accused of the mega crime of criticising a minor local royal. No matter how or why the local Johore court agreed to keep this unfortunate man in prison without trial contrary to all practice it is the Johore PDRM

Surely I Don’t Mean Me!

UMNO boss and accused in criminal cases cases Zahid is reported as saying that the next PM would come from UMNO. In apparent support of that claim he said that all previous ones had been from UMNO. Why, one wonders, did the Malaysian voter community reject UMNO at the last general election? Could it have

Johore, Police State?

According to Press reports a Malaysian of chinese origin has been arrested, taken to Court on a charge of ”insulting the Johor Crown Prince” and remanded in custody. If this report, incredible on the face of it, is factually correct there are serious questions to answered. What insult, where uttered, “victim” present,? Even if the

Back Door Bad Losers

By publicly attacking the motion of “no confidence” in Muyhiddin and the back door PN administration PAS, possibly unwittingly, admit that it and its PN partners  do not have a majority. If they did why bother? Just have the vote and demonstrate their confidence that the PM appointed by the Agong has a majority. It

Help. I Don’t Want To Go To Jail

A Press report quotes Najib Razak as saying that if the up-coming motion of no confidence in the PN government passes then what he calls “Prime Minister” Muyhiddin can ask the Agong to dissolve Parliament. Wrong though it would be possible for the Agong so to act; though not at the request of a “Prime
