Confused?

There's so much conflicting news coming out with regards to the economy...who wouldn't be confused??

First they say Malaysia will NOT go into recession...but there are now TWO stimulus packages, and Bank Negara has cut the OPR to 2.5%! There's also a nugget regarding Khazanah's plan to invest RM 58b (here!) over a three year period... On the flipside Intel is closing down two plants in Penang, and probably more MNCs to go down the same path?

Then again our RM 7b first stimulus package pales way in comparison to Singapore's SGD 20b package...so what does that say about Malaysian policy makers?

Let's us draw our own conclusions...

Another Lock-Up Boo Boo!

Well, the shit has really hit the fan this time...another death in the police lock-up! And of all races...you guessed it: an Indian!

The signs of torture are unmistakable, and for once the pictures have gone viral on the WWW! There can't be any cover up this time...

And with HINDRAF and MIC on the same boat for once, PDRM will have a lot of explaining to do!

Statistical nugget update: A total of 1536 individuals have died under police custody from 2003 to date. What you say? Yeah, apparently it's the truth...

KT Votes

As I write this now, voters in Kuala Terengganu are going to polling stations to vote for their new MP. It's PAS vs. UMNO, PR vs. BN, change vs. status quo. It's a neck and neck race, too close to call. PAS has got a lot going for them - well-liked candidate, issues galore, the 'change' momentum; BN as usual has to rely on bribery and money politics. 

Wonder how the result will turn out...guess we will find out in about 11 hours.

Update. 11.00 p.m.: PAS wins by 2,631 votes!!

What The??

Latest stories hitting the headlines...

Pig's head thrown at UM Mosque...wrapped in a PAS flag!! Ha ha...UMNO really trying to kill itself. Who'd believe PAS would resort to this? And who among the Chinese would bother doing this? (OK, excluding those MCA dogs) And as one commenter put it, why would a sane Chinese throw a pig's head with it's juicy delicious ears intact?

Woo, angpow time? But wait...CNY is still a week away! As usual BN is feeling generous especially when an election is around the corner, this time to journalists in KT. How thick can you get? Anyway police reports have been made...and as usual there is the standard denial by the authorities. Well just goes to prove that BN = money (politics). OUR money!

We Want The Truth!

Who would YOU believe?

Yeah who? A chronically lying, pull-wool-over-eyes government with half-baked finance ministers, or respectable(?) economists and bankers with (perhaps) no vested interests apart from the truth?

Who in their right mind would believe this tiny sampan of a country would navigate the recessionary storm successfully while the giant supertankers of world economy flounders in the tsunamic wake of the 'credit crunch' earthquake?

Why is the 'R' word so worrying to those in power? Political expediency with the KT elections looming? Cautious optimism? Or worse, blind ignorance???

Like they say, the truth hurts...but please tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!! We Malaysians deserve at least that!!!

Really?

He says it's not an issue anymore! But...


Definitely something doesn't jive here... It was already wrong the moment it was taken away from the Terengganu people in 2000!

Where's the accountability? Or is there going to be any?

Welcome 2009!

Having a difficult time to find something to write about amid all the doom and gloom, so...

Here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
