Al-Jazeera interviewed PERKASA head Ibrahim Ali today for its piece on the sidelining of non-Malays in Malaysia.

Take for instance something that happened to me recently – two months ago, I borrowed a book from the library to refer to for an assignment. After I was done with it I passed it to a groupmate, who was supposed to return it to the library for [...]

Dangerous lah, Tan Sri Bernard Dompok! Don’t you know how to do your job? As DS Nazri has so ably pointed out in the Star, you are clueless when it comes to the role of the Parliamentary Select Committee of Integrity:
Nazri, who said the committee’s scope of duties was only to get feedback from the people for the Government to formulate unity [...]

The Star – MPs apologize for sexist remarks:
[Bung Mokthar]: “I said it in the heat of an argument with DAP members, who were calling me binatang (animal) and accusing the Barisan Nasional of corruption.
Unfortunately for the “YB”, the videos of the incident have been uploaded on Youtube and viewed by 30,000 people. If you [...]
