Petrol price increase? 2008-06-02 08:36:00 Brace yourself for yet another petrol hike this coming August. If you read the latest report in NST, it looks like a cleverly devised news headline. Make sure you read til the end. And there seems to be conflicting views by Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Badawi and Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad. Pak Lah said, "might be", while Shahrir Samad said that petrol p Read more:Petrol

Tun Dr Mahathir and UMNO 2008-05-21 11:20:00 So the great old Tun Dr. Mahathir has finally resigned. Sigh.. As a big fan of Tun ever since my school days, to read the news about him resigning from UMNO is just too sad. I've always held high respect for him, but I feel, resigning from the party won't solve anything. As much as I don't agree much with Mat Taib, I think he is right when he said that "history not on Mahathir's side..".“(Founde

Pennywise and Anti-Flag's latest album 2008-05-03 12:08:00 ..Pennywise - Reason to Believe..Anti-Flag - The Bright Lights Of AmericaNot really the best though. Anti-Flag's For Blood And Empire (2006) and The Terror State (2003) are arguably among the best by Anti-Flag. Sometimes I feel I learn more about American politics and their foreign policy by listening to these bunch of left-inclined-anti war-anti capitalist political punk rock bands. :p

Pak Lah and Malaysia 2008-04-26 05:54:00 While switching on the TV awhile ago, I was shocked to find out that famous blogger, Raja Petra will appear live on RTM1 tomorrow night, Sunday 27th April. I just feel that he should just stick to his Malaysia

Belasungkawa - Rustam Sani (1944 - 2008) 2008-04-26 02:38:00 At the time of this writing many must have read about the passing of Rustam A. Sani, a great intellectual scholar. I had the chance to read his thoughts once through his book 'Ke Mana Nasionalisme Melayu (2004)' in which he explains academically about the failure of the Malay (or UMNO) nationalisme. In the meanwhile, Johan Jaafar has written a good piece of article in his weekly Saturday column in

NST, Pak Lah and Tun Dr. Mahathir 2008-06-13 08:22:00 The time has finally come for me to say goodbye to New Straits Time (NST). Mom has decided to stop buying NST and has told the newspaper vendor to replace it with The Star. A bit of mixed feelings actually cos this is the paper that I grew up with.
