Losing our minds over a flag
The national basketball association has cocked up big time and everyone is up in arms about it. The question is – is the reaction fair and expected, or is it over the top?
In other news, a university graduate gets into trouble for a Nazi salute while the schism within PKR just continues to grow and grow, as if we expected anything less. And, lastly, a great leap forward in our national education system (we hope).
In New Malaysia, the LGBT community still deals with the same shit
They said they wanted to make Malaysia a beacon of human rights. However, 18 months on from Pakatan Harapan coming to power, the LGBT community is still being ostracised. In some ways, it seems like it’s worse under the news guys.
In other news, the infighting in PKR gets more intense, and Britain agrees to haul 40-plus containers of crap back home.
Anwar doesn’t wanna be in Mahathir’s Cabinet … but he does want his job
He may be the PM-in-waiting but Anwar Ibrahim doesn’t want a Cabinet post right now. Nope. His plan, it seems, is to just waltz into the role of leader of Malaysia once Dr M’s called time.
Elsewhere in the news, despite the deadline having long passed, Opposition lawmakers have yet to declare their assets. Also, the data’s clear: Malaysian women earn less than men.
Mahathir and Anwar: Men United?
Anwar Ibrahim and Dr Mahathir Mohamad are putting on a united front in terms of the transition of power. But we don’t really see rumours abating anytime soon. Do you?
In other news, the PM says any Cabinet reshuffle will be his ultimate decision; while a lady with bigger, err, guts than anyone else is proving to be a real hero when it comes to 1MDB and its original audit report.
They should be docked!
For at least the third time since Pakatan took over the reins of the country, a Dewan Rakyat session was delayed thanks to a lack of quorum. We have 222 MPs, yet we can’t even get 24 of these people to sit down quietly for a while and try to solve our problems. Potong gaji, we say.
Meanwhile, Anwar Ibrahim has kind of issued a warning asking Azmin Ali to stop the backdoor politics; we learn that the original audit report on 1MDB was shredded; and, we pay tribute to the nation’s leading news organisation.
Are the gloves off in Anwar-Azmin feud?
Are things coming to a head between Azmin Ali and Anwar Ibrahim? Rumours are gathering steam as even more meetings are called among purported supporters of the PKR numeros dos.
Meanwhile, former PM Najib Razak has been fingered as the one who demanded changes be made to the 1MDB audit report (allegedly, allegedly); while his former deputy demanded a board of trustee of a foundation sign blank cheques for him (allegedly, again).
Zahid’s on trial… and it looks bad
The former PM and DPM were both in court on Monday. But despite the prospect of backstabbing in Jibby Razak’s case, it was Zahid Hamidi, facing allegations of stealing from the poor, who claimed the spotlight.
Also in the news, the fallout from Tanjung Piai continues with a shocked PM and a late night not-so-secret meeting at Azmin Ali’s house.
Pakatan Harapan has been given the mightiest of slaps
We’re back! Well, kinda. Two of us are still down and out, so it’s a one-man show for now. But what’s made us feel so much better are the emails and messages we got from so many of you. Really, a Sally Field moment for us.
And now, for the news. There’s really only one talking point from the weekend, isn’t there? Tg Piai came and went, and by the time the weekend was over, Pakatan Harapan had been given the rudest of wake up calls. We break it down for you today.
Boss, I’m gonna be on MC today
Don’t go spending lavishly next year. Inflation is gonna rise and your salary increment may not be as good as first expected.
In other news, the Finance Minister has been whacked for withholding funding for a university college under MCA, while Hishammuddin Hussein serves up a shocker by siding with PM Mahathir Mohamad instead of his cousin, Najib Razak
Brace yourselves, inflation is coming
