Taib Mahmud - an enigma wrapped in corruption, shrouded by graft?

KUCHING - Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, Chief Minister of Sarawak, has been attracting media attention for all the wrong reasons. It was bad in the runup to the April 2011 state elections, but at the very personal level, it must have hurt the most in December last year.

At the age of 74, white-haired and pruned face, Taib walked down the aisle with his second wife, the 28-year-old Ragad Waleed Alkurdi. He could not have been unaware of some of the ribald and rather unkind comments levelled at him and Ragad. Spring and Autumn, Summer and Winter, Beauty and the Beast are just some of the more printable remarks made about their marriage.

BN kept alive by defiled electoral roll

For BN the stakes are too high, and the mere thought of Putrajaya going into the hands of the opposition is dreadfully unthinkable. The BN is, therefore, now on a psywar, using every trick in the  book to demonise Bersih, including the ridiculous tactic of planting communist materials to try give the movement a negative image.


By DANIEL JOHN JAMBUN

The BN has a strong reason to fear the coming Bersih rally. Never before has the BN been so frightened of a rally as this one, and for good reasons too.

The first reason is the fact that the electoral roll is actually very dirty, soiled and polluted with a lot of creative handiworks of the BN. And everybody knows this. Even the Election Commission admits it, or else why would it want to open its doors for talks with Bersih?  The proofs of the election system being manipulated are many, and election fraud and irregularities are general knowledge in Malaysia.

Stop being kaypoh, you blardee Kristian

I am sure you would agree that what is important is that no one prevents you from going to church every Sunday to pray so that you can guarantee your place in heaven when you die. In fact, even Hitler did not prevent Christians from going to church every Sunday to pray so that they can guarantee their place in heaven when they die. And that is exactly why the Christians closed both eyes to the extermination of six million Jews.

Gathering of ex-CMs reflects BN’s fear

Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman says he 'cannot run
the state alone' without his Barisan Nasional partners.

KEMABONG: Is Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Musa Aman finally admitting that he may be on “shaky” political ground? Is that why the coalition was driven to invite several former chief ministers and state top officials to bolster his “fort” during the recent Juara 1Malaysia programme here?
