Wanita Wanita...

Succession plan was never provided for under the party constitution. So, why bother having a so-called plan in the first place? Such succession plan will only work if the duration of the plan does not clash with party election. That is a simple politics 101, of which I am sure seasoned politicians like Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz know at the back of her head. And as one of the people who were vocal in asking Pak Lah not to defend his position as the party President, I think our Kak Dah would know already that her time is up.

But then again, if one wants to uphold the party constitution, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz should defend her position because she has the nominations needed to contest in the Party Election in March 2009. Therefore, asking her not to contest is very wrong indeed. I would say, let Kak Dah defend her post because that is what the party members want. And at the same time, let Datuk Kamilla contest the Deputy Wanita Chief post because again, the members have spoken.

The question that we should be asking now is what should Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil do? She received nominations for both Wanita Chief and Deputy Chief. In this situation, she has a choice and we all should let her make her own decision. Whatever she chooses, we should respect her decision and when it is time to vote in March, delegates should vote for the right candidates based on their track record leaders.

The only way UMNO can survive is to have a paradigm shift in many aspects. UMNO should be more brave in throwing out irrelevant leaders – be more like Hang Jebat and Laksamana Bentan.

P.S. This is my personal opinion – not an advice.

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
