Well now seriously. When Khalid Ibrahim made his suggestion for 10% of UiTM placements to be opened up to non-bumis, who did you think he was looking out for? The non-bumis? When was the last time you heard Chinese or Indian students clamouring for UiTM allocations? A degree from UiTM is probably worth less than [...]
You may recall that some time back the government tried to spin on their rating in the Global Competitiveness Report, claiming that we were “eighth” among nations with a population of above 20mil – a completely arbitrary categorization, conveniently excluding Singapore of course. We had actually fallen two places. (Hey Pak Lah, isn’t it even [...]
Sorry for the simple post but I just had to link up Nat Tan’s posting of Pak Lah on CNN.
I have to echo his question.. “Can you imagine what the world thinks of us? That we are a nation led by….. this?”
I’m not a diehard Anwar follower but I still have to admit he can [...]
Malaysia must be really doing well! The shuttle hasn’t even come back yet and the govt has already made plans to send another flight participant space tourist astronaut up.
“Captain doctor Faiz Khaleed will be the primary angkasawan and the next mission, probably in 2008 or 2009, should have him doing more challenging tasks,” Jamaluddin said [...]
I have to admit that sometimes – especially at the beginning of Pak Lah’s tenure – I was in the camp of those who were thinking “Oh Pak Lah’s actually a nice guy; he just doesn’t have the willpower/clout to carry out his cleanup”. But as time goes on it’s petty obvious we were all [...]
Sorry I won’t be able to update with anything substantial for the next week or so…busy with assignments.
LKS’s blogs today about Revathi Masoosai/Siti Fatimah – if you haven’t read the news, she deconverted from Islam years ago, and the authorities found out about her status after she gave birth. Her marriage is unregistered because her [...]
So on page 13 of the Star today (14th June) we have a full-colour, full-page ad from the Selangor government thanking our PM, “with utmost sincerity” for visiting the state on the 13th. According to the rates, such an ad costs 35k and needs to be booked a week in advance.
Remember: “elegant silence”, unless you need [...]
PM Abdullah Badawi has finally received the inspiration he needed to form a new Cabinet. And what a disappointing one it is! Out of 72 ministers and deputy ministers a total of four were dropped (including Higher Education Minister Dr Shafie Salleh), with the rest of the appointments akin to a game of musical chairs. [...]
I’m surprised there’s no Malaysia Book of Records entry for the biggest Cabinet. After all our Cabinet is bigger than that of India or Australia, and is probably the biggest in the world factoring population size.
When PM Abdullah Badawi was being packaged by the MCAPeople’s Paper as the person who was going to shake up [...]
