Petrol hike madness! 2008-06-06 10:25:00 ..the petrol price news dominated some of my friends' Yahoo status on the day Pak Lah announced the sharp petrol increaseMany have commented, blogged and analysed this issue and my first reaction was - unbelievable.

Petrol price increase? 2008-06-02 08:36:00 Brace yourself for yet another petrol hike this coming August. If you read the latest report in NST, it looks like a cleverly devised news headline. Make sure you read til the end. And there seems to be conflicting views by Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Badawi and Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad. Pak Lah said, "might be", while Shahrir Samad said that petrol p Read more:Petrol

Tun Dr Mahathir and UMNO 2008-05-21 11:20:00 So the great old Tun Dr. Mahathir has finally resigned. Sigh.. As a big fan of Tun ever since my school days, to read the news about him resigning from UMNO is just too sad. I've always held high respect for him, but I feel, resigning from the party won't solve anything. As much as I don't agree much with Mat Taib, I think he is right when he said that "history not on Mahathir's side..".“(Founde

Pennywise and Anti-Flag's latest album 2008-05-03 12:08:00 ..Pennywise - Reason to Believe..Anti-Flag - The Bright Lights Of AmericaNot really the best though. Anti-Flag's For Blood And Empire (2006) and The Terror State (2003) are arguably among the best by Anti-Flag. Sometimes I feel I learn more about American politics and their foreign policy by listening to these bunch of left-inclined-anti war-anti capitalist political punk rock bands. :p
