More than a “mess”

“Something very rotten” going on: Kit Siang calls for RCI into NFC First, that there is something very rotten about the RM336.64 million National Feedlot Centre (NFC)/National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) “cattle condo” scandal – what with a RM250 million soft loan at 2% interest to promote cattle production used to buy two units of luxury…

They are still not happy with Umno

A field trip to Tanjung Lumpur in Kuantan on January 21 to gauge the people’s perception on the aid given to the poor by the government and their appraisal of UMNO politics was quite inspiring.

It seems USM had in December 2011 started an exercise to retrench some 1,000 or more contract…

This coming general election promises to be a watershed in our country’s history. There is a growing consensus that we cannot allow things to…

Khazanah sold Proton for no profits?

The ‘Che Det Consensus’ is an economy built around problem solving that is ‘practical’ only for the Malaysia’s business and Umno political elite. COMMENT I found it odd the statement from Khazanah Nasional Bhd that it didn’t make profit from its sale of Proton Holdings Bhd’s shares to DRB-Hicom Bhd. If no profits were made,…
