It's ON!

The Mahathir-Pak Lah saga continues. This time, Pak Lah told reporters that all Tun Mahathir’s questions will be fully answered by the relevant ministries. So, does this mean Tun will stop bashing Pak Lah’s administration? I don’t think so. I really don’t think so. When Tun decided to give that harsh criticism about Pak Lah last week, he is already launching his personal crusade against Pak Lah. I tell you now that this is the only beginning of a very long fight between the two leaders.

My only question is why. Why Tun launch this attack on Pak Lah? Is it purely a self-less motive? That Pah Lah is really turning the country upside down and Tun is willing to do anything to stop him from destroying the country. Or is it simply because of Tun is going to lose something very important to him that he will do anything to keep it. And I really hope that he is doing it because Pak Lah is the Dr. Evil in this screenplay. OK, that’s a bit an exaggeration but you know what I mean.

Although the ‘why’ is still unknown to many, one thing for sure is this battle will leave both of them deeply wounded and scarred for the rest of their life. It doesn’t matter who won in this fight because the end results will be the same. Whoever wins will be hailed as UMNO’s hero and the loser will be the traitor not just to the party but to the Malays.
Still, the real victim is the Malaysians. Our economy is not that big and the last thing that we need now is an unstable political environment. So, to Tun and Pak Lah, please settle your differences as soon as possible before things get out of hands. My suggestion is, Pak Lah and all the old guards of government to resign. And Tun can let go his position at Petronas and Proton and exit public life quietly. And of course, a certain son-in-law has to be removed from a certain government-linked company. After that, everyone will live happily ever after. Ciao.

Obviously Anwar will win because Pak Lah will be more than happy to humiliate Tun without having to do much work on his side :)

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
