Home News, for a change...

I had three sleepless nights since Monday. I just couldn’t sleep, that’s all. And this week has been a hell of a week and the only good thing in this week is the sun. Yes, it’s because we had sun for two consecutive days here in Wye. Well, sun may not be a very big thing back where I came from but it is a big deal here in the UK. OK, I don’t want to talk about the sun, I mean, sun is a very self-explanatory thing. What else should I say about it, right? Anyway, here’s the deal. Tengku Mahaleel, former CEO of PROTON filed complaints about his termination as CEO to Industrial Relations Department (IRD). If I am not mistaken, the reason or rather the term that PROTON used was “non-renewable” of contract. Hence, it will make it pointless for Tengku Mahaleel to report this case. However, the most interesting bit is, PROTON are willing to settle this matter outside the court. Why is it interesting? Well, if Tengku Mahaleel was a legitimate removal, why wouldn’t PROTON wants to take it to the court? I am not suggesting anything, I am just saying what I think. OK, I’d better stop here or I might have to face libel charges.

We’ll see what will happen next. Whatever it is, I’m just hoping that PROTON will eventually be a competitive and efficient carmaker. Ciao ciao.

More on Angkara Cinta

Yes, I think I am becoming obsessed with this Malay Drama show. I always look forward to watching the show every day. The irony of Angkara Cinta is despite the title of the show, it is not a love story at all. At least not to me. Sure, the are several love stories in the show such as Luqman and Adira, Haqeem and Adira, Haqeem and Jijie, and Luqman and Adira again, but these love stories are just in the background and do not form the major part of the storyline. The reason I say this is because if you take away these love stories, Angkara Cinta would still stand on its own. We would still be able to see the struggle of Luqman and Haqeem, as well as, Indah and Mariani in dealing with the situations that they are in. And to me, that's what makes Angkara Cinta great and stand out relative to other Malay Drama on the television nowadays. The show also highlighted several mental health issues that are not talked about in Malaysia generally, and the Malay community specially. Malays, for

Rise and Fall of a Government

Many detractors of Tun Dr Mahathir blamed him for causing the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in February 2020. They blamed him for quitting his position for no apparent reasons whatsoever. To be honest, none of us (save for a select few) really know what had happened behind the curtains and behind Tun's thick skull. As long as we are not Tun himself or those select few, we are all merely speculating at best. To me, I just want to focus on what Tun had said publicly because those are on record and no one can really dispute them. Tun had repeatedly said that he had resigned because he no longer had the support of the parliament as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). Two things here, mathematically, what Tun said about the his support from the parliament is true. Secondly, this was what Tun had said, what really went behind the scene was really up to anyone's guess. For one moment, let us just take Tun's words at their face value. The moment Tun felt that he

2011 That is Almost Over

In just one more day, 2011 will draw its final curtain. And looking back over the last twelve months made me realized how far have I come this year. 2011 has always been a very personal year to me, especially since I have started to plan for my engagement ceremony since July 2010 (Yes, that's how long I've been planning my wedding). I guess the highlight of the year began with significant change in my work. It was in March 2011 where I was finally given the opportunity to cover the Airline sector after lobbying for it since I joined the department in February 2009. I'm not saying the Consumer sector was not fun, but the Airline sector has always been a dear to me since I joined the company. But I guess, the Airline sector proved to be a lot tougher to cover than I expected. I had anticipated cyclical earnings and high risk from jet fuel price volatility but, MAS gave a whole different challenge to my skills as an analyst. The next highlight for the year was my engagement ce
