Prime Minister . . . Agong can appoint Anwar as minority PM, thereafter Parliament can deliberate if needed on the matter. Anwar Ibrahim . . . It can no longer be denied that Mahathir is trying to thwart Anwar Ibrahim. It makes no sense to include Opposition of Crooks in so-called Mahathir Unity gov’t. Grand Master . . . Where Grand Master Mahathir is going, there are no moves. It’s a matter of time, sooner or later. Time is not on his side, if he has not already run out of it. Dementia and alzheimer stalks. He won’t remember his … Continue reading Agong can appoint Anwar as minority PM, thereafter Parliament can deliberate if needed on the matter

COMMENT As I pen this, I am reminded of Ambiga Sreenevasan’s warning that “if the Pakatan Harapan government does not implement certain key reforms by June this year, the people will take to the streets again”.

For months, Mahathir Mohamad had been enjoying himself – bashing and condemning everyone and every country he didn’t like, as if the world revolves around him. He has slammed the U.S., Hong Kong, India, Israel, Singapore and even Myanmar. In the process, he has insulted the Hindus, Chinese, Jews, Americans and practically everyone who was non-Muslim.

If Malaysia were the military and economic superpower United States and its leader happened to be Mahathir, he could have had launched military strikes against any nation … Continue reading Panicked Mahathir now fears trade sanctions after India plans to boycott Malaysian products
