The Ugly Singaporeans 2008-04-30 02:20:01 Hantu Laut
The United Nations will launch "Day Off" campaign in Singapore on Thursday to drive home the point that a day off every week for foreign maids working in the city state should be made mandatory.
The gleaming city state of Singapore has one of the highest per capita income in Asia and considered a highly developed nation. Unfortunately, this squeaky clean city has one of the worse
Malaysian Deputy Premier Denies Murder Links 2008-04-30 22:45:22 Asia Sentinel
Correspondent 30 April 2008 Najib Tun Razak says he had nothing to do with the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu. So why won’t he testify in court?
In a blistering defense of his boss’s innocence, Najib Tun Razak’s press secretary Tuesday issued a statement that neither the Malaysian

Buccaneering Blogger:Will Najib Be Prime Minister ? 2008-05-02 02:27:28 Hantu Laut
The much awaited succession plan in UMNO has not materialised. There was no definite date or specific plan for Prime Minister
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Pak Lah) to hand over the helm to his deputy Dato Sri Najib Tun Razak.
Abdullah has asked UMNO members to refrain from calling for his resignation and to wait till December when he will either consider stepping down or contest the Read more:Blogger

Are We A Police State ? 2008-05-04 23:27:32 Hantu Laut
People who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
Let us go back to the year 1940, when Hitler's armies were driving the French and British forces back across France, and Britain faced imminent invasion.The British people heard the words of Winston Churchill:

Malaysian Philharmonic: An Oxymoron 2008-05-06 21:16:03 Hantu Laut
I received the article or more appropriate I would say a letter in my email box two days ago. I believe there are undeniable truths to the writer's claims.Being a fan of classical music myself I would certainly prefer local musicians in our philharmonic orchestra.Calling it a MalaysianPhilharmonic
and with 0ver 90 % foreign fiddlers is certainly an oxymoron.

Another One Bite The Dust 2008-05-10 01:02:07 Hantu Laut
I have always been sceptical about the so-called national service from the day it was launched.Was it done in sincerity for the benefits of our young generation and the nation or was it just another exercise to fill the pockets of those in power? There are millions to be made from this anomalous national service. Supply of uniforms, shoes, food, drinks,transport, campsites and many

The Politics Of Federalism 2008-05-13 02:33:55 Hantu Laut
Sabahans have always had an ambivalent relationship with the central government. This love and hate relationship goes as far back as the time of the USNO (United Sabah National Organisation) government under Tun Dato Mustapha Harun, a flamboyant, unmanagable and most feared Chief Minister Sabah ever had. The only leader of a state who had 2 stated-owned private jets (Grumman 2) and

MAS: Now A Cheapo Airline 2008-05-16 04:52:03 Hantu Laut
I strongly believe in free enterprise and healthy competition.You can't call it a competition anymore when the playing field is not level and your opponent hit you below the belt and the referee allows it.
The airline business is now a cut-throat business due to high operational costs andtoo many players in the market.Those with good business sense, innovative and good foresight will Read more:Airline
Mahathir:This Is My Way 2008-05-19 05:42:21 Hantu Laut
I am not a member of UMNO nor am I a supporter of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
I used to admire our former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad for some of the good things he had done to this country.A man who is truly an embodiment of 'the end justifies the means'.He would do what he feels strongly about even at the expense of personal liberty of others, so long as he gets his way.A man you

Many of you probably think there is something wrong with me or I am mad to oppose MAS low fare in my previous post 'MAS:Now A Cheapo Airline".
I don't.I opposed the way it was done.
Most Malaysians would be happy to have alternative cheap fares, so am I.
I am not looking at it from that point of view.I am looking at it from the point of business ethic, unfair competition and Read more:System
Mahathir:Cut The Nose To Spite The Face 2008-05-23 01:23:32 Hantu Laut
If the saying 'pride goes before a fall' befitting anybody it would be former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad.A man befuddled with so much rage and hatred against his hand-picked successor Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, he is prepared to kill off his legacy just to get rid of Badawi by whatever means possible.

Sabah, the poorest and most backward state in Malaysia seems to have the magic wand when it comes to giving away their money to charity.
Seemingly poor Sabahans are not so poor after all when it's time to give away their money for a good cause.This act of charity and compassion can be seen in many charity concerts/functions held in the state, where almost every function, no matter
Najib: Think Again ! 2008-06-02 18:59:26 Hantu Laut
The Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said the government has postponed its decision to ban sale of fuel to foreign registered cars within 50 miles radius of any border which was supposed to commence on Friday. It ultimately aims to increase the price of fuel throughout the country for foreign cars.

The Mahathirs: Time To Go 2008-06-04 04:13:27 Hantu Laut
During his father's time people like him would have been sacked in double quick time from the party without any hesitation or show cause from party leaders.
On top of that he would also be investigated by the ACA for some wrongdoings or corruptions just to seal the lid on the coffin.There are already calls from party members for him to resign or be sacked from the party.

A Recipe For All: Bad Move Pak Lah 2008-06-05 06:17:41 Hantu Laut
I hope the next time the Prime Minister announces a price hike in petrol and diesel he would do it in the dead of night so those foolish and unreasonable Malaysians would be soundly asleep in their beds and would not become nuisance on the roads just to save a few ringgit causing inconvenience to others who have other more important things to do.

Mahathir's Crude Calculation Of Crude Oil 2008-06-07 12:35:18 Hantu Laut
Subsidising the costs of petrol and diesel are no more feasible due to the high costs of crude oil. Continuing doing so would eventually take the nation to the road of insolvency.The price hike announced by the Prime Minister recently would also put a brake on smuggling that have rendered the nation massive economic losses.

"I am sick and fed up of judges who have no guts to speak up when in office and to live up to their oath of office. Judges demand an independent judiciary but are unwilling to make sacrifices to ensure its independence.

Anwar Ibrahim Exposed 2008-06-17 01:32:22 Hantu Laut
With so much talk about Anwar taking over the government soon, it got me pondering the past weeks on how he is going to get around doing this rather difficult task and whether I should have this polemic on my blog and infuse a nuclear meltdown among Anwar's impervious supporters and suffer the aftermath of a nasty fallout.

I really don't know what to make of this report.Hope this is not a sequel to what Mahathir did.
Was the police report given voluntarily and not coerced ?
A thorough and fair investigation must be conducted by the police to ensure it is fair to both Anwar and the government.Undoubtedly, Anwar's supporters think of it as another conspiracy to checkmate Anwar political advancement.

He said those without valid documents will be deported to a country that is willing to accept them. What that means,I am not sure.
