Unbelievable timing. Maybe they figure they ought to get the protesting out of the way :P
NST:
Abdullah said the RM40 billion-a-year subsidy for fuel was too much for the government to bear. “If the subsidy is reduced, we will have a lot of money to develop our country.”
I think what he meant to say is [...]
Any Malay, opposition supporter with plans to get Class F (bumiputera) government contracts?
See Ronnie Liu:
Yes, I know this thing is expected.
But is it right?
Don’t be apathetic, and for goodness sake, don’t think it’s just something between Malays.
It’s a rot that is affecting all Malaysians.
Stand up, speak out.
Today, Najib says no toll hikes, despite Samy having just announced another 10% hike this coming year to further squeeze every drop of blood from the rakyat. Samy even has the gall to say:
“We are studying and talking to the concessionaires to find out ways to benefit both sides. We want to find a [...]
I think only theSun carried this piece about Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Mohamed Shafie Apdal saying that they’re looking into bringing in Metro AG and (gasp!) Wal-Mart!
I heard so much bad stuff about Wal-Mart when I was in the States.
Lazy bum that I am, behold Wikipedia! Highlights:
With close to two million employees [...]
I was asked by my boss to do a little research into the company that was awarded the contract to build the Taiping-Banting Highway.
Despite previous attempts, I’m no expert in doing corporate research, nor am I an industry insider. So part of the reason I’m posting this is to see whether people have got more [...]
Good news: Malaysiakini video speaks a 1000 words! Check it out, it’s far better than my big ass collection of pictures.
So I’ll just add tidbits.
Demo prob started around 4.15pm; then the police started the usual threats and then started spamming their sirens to drown out the speakers. New strategy, apparently, where all the squad cars [...]
I’m no expert on acquisition, but TS Khalid, Treasurer for PKR, does seem to raise some cogent and distressing points.
I happen to have an English version of his op-ed, enclosed below.
DS Radzi Sheikh Ahmad on MyKad contest withdrawal:
Asked whether the government was not afraid to be labelled a liar for calling off the lucky draws, Radzi said: “We do not lie. We just ask the public to forget about it.“
o_O ?!?!
He also goes on in the most typically shameful fashion imaginable to place all the [...]
Pretty good – YB’s M Kulasegaran, Dtk Kamaruddin Jaafar, Dtk Shahrir Samad spoke, as did Tian Chua.
YB Kula, Tian and Dtk Kamaruddin spoke with pretty good amounts of passion, vision and eloquence respectively. Of note: Tian pointed out how the NEP is technically not one of the Malay special priviliges mentioned in the Constitution while [...]
Long overdue, and in light of recent suffering (see Malaysiakin videos here and here) I did some basic checking on the companies that own the highways which got hit with toll hikes. I’ll start with Litrak, the company that owns the LDP concession.
These are only very basic preliminary findings – and may or may not [...]
It’s 10am, and I guess Tian Chua, Ronnie Liu, Dr. Hatta Ramli and TS Khalid Ibrahim should be at Bukit Aman now, getting ready to answer questions.
A lot has been said on how blatantly ridiculous and morally wrong it is to use the OSA to hide corruption that is so clearly screwing the rakyat over [...]
How on earth can you expect the rakyat to buy that crap?? If the economy is doing so damn well, how come we need to pay more for petrol, endure 60% toll hikes and pay 15% more for water (in Selangor) for reasons *you* (personally!) won’t disclose to us??
Geramnye!
Yah yah, you got big GDP (“6.5%), [...]
