Even as I’ve been ever so critical of Pak Lah in this blog for his failure to deliver on his pre-2004 election promises, still I’ve always felt that he made those promises sincerely. Seemed to me that what went wrong was Pak Lah got caught between a desire to bring about those reforms, on the […]
So much for Pak Lah wanting a free and independent ACA! Former SAPP deputy president Raymond Tan ratted on Saturday that Pak Lah was so peeved that Yong Teck Lee had the audacity to moot a no-confidence motion against him that he wanted ACA to pick Yong up. However, so Raymond says, he got on […]
NST online reported yesterday that Radio24, a radio station run by a ministry agency, was being investigated for having allegedly gone on the air on a sensitive issue. The sensitive issue? Radio24 ran an interactive programme, “Which is more important, the transition of power from Pak Lah (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) to Datuk Seri […]

The accusations and cross-accusations that followed. The juicy details that emerged during the court trials, exposing so many weaknesses in our judicial system, our AG’s chambers […]
I’m referring to the morning after the day that Pak Lah finds himself dumped by the wayside by UMNO. Everything seems to be pointing to this as a foregone conclusion. Whether this will happen in the coming days, or by way of a ‘no confidence’ motion carried in Parliament when it convenes, or at the […]
Sure, Ole Big Ears seems to have trimmed off a whole lot of useless fat from his last cabinet. Pro-Najib fat, it would seem.
