Sunday night is still on my mind, but in the meantime, a gentleman requested this event be publicised. Important subject, might try to stop by.
6pm – 8pm, Wednesday 12th November 2008
Venue: Lecture Hall 3, Faculty of Business & Accountancy
Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur
2008 has seen the United States experience one of the worst [...]
Mind you, classical music is great. But the figures are stunning:
Lim Guan Eng, revealed that the cost to maintain the musicians is a whopping RM3.5 million a month.
“As much as 95 percent of the foreign musicians are paid between RM16,000 and RM28,000 a month and given two months paid leave every year. The conductor is [...]
Malaysiakini:
According to Zulkifli Noordin (PKR-Kulim Bandar Baru), Mahathir – who is also the ex-premier – is being paid RM180,000 per year while Abdullah’s advisers Shahrizat Abdul Jalil (women and social development affairs) and Abdul Hamid Othman (religious) received RM404,726 and RM549,675 respectively.
The figures were revealed in two separate parliamentary written replies to Zulkifli from the [...]
So many issues today, and haven’t done a “little points” style posting in a while. All about variety eh?
I have to say that Karpal Singh taking a swipe at the Kelantan royalty, while perhaps in some ways justified, is not the most strategically sound thing to do. In Singapore, I spoke a lot about the [...]
Thanks for sending this by, Padma!
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 [...]
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.
PKR’s Dep Sec-Gen Dr. Xavier Jeyakumar had white paint splashed across his house by unknown assailants in the dead of Monday night. Dr. Jeyakumar staunchly believes the attack is politically motivated. This infruriating act of cowards will not deter those who fight for what is right!
On a more positive note, Tian Chua writes (with pics [...]
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 [...]
Did you know that it is not against the law for the ruling party to use government machinery to campaign during elections? >:(
The facts force us to admit that Ng Chee Pang, the independent candidate in Batu Talam, is something of a joke. His latest accusations against his opponent concerning unethical campaigning may be less [...]
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%), [...]
Is it only floods that are plunging Malaysians into the terrible suffering that comes with being made homeless? Apparently not – the government seems keen to imitate the rains that are inflicting homelessness and destitution on Malaysians around the country.
This post is really late but: On Jan 4th, Sarawak state officials demolished an Iban longhouse [...]
