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.
Internet’s been down all day, and weary on many counts right now, but if you want to read something beyond government propoganda, you can hear Tian’s side of the story first hand through the podcast located here and here.
If anyone’s interested, here’s the link to some research into the Kg. Berembang developers that was referenced [...]
Finally managed to put up more than one thousand pictures that Lainie did a super job of taking on Monday at Kg. Berembang. Hopefully, some ‘commentary’ will be added to them soon.
Just keep a lookout for RELA weapons, fat SB officers video recording everything, red cloth bands, sketchy people hanging around, Acmar International t-shirts, and [...]
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!

These are only very basic preliminary findings – and may or may not [...]
Malaysiakini:

A statement released yesterday by the residents’ committee pointed out that serious health and environmental hazards are associated with the use of cyanide.
They claimed that the [...]
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 [...]
Mohd Firdaus Azizan (pic) has cerebral palsy. Despite being unable to perform basic functions to care for himself, he makes an honest living selling souvenirs in the tunnel between KLCC and its LRT station.
However, Malaysiakini, while covering the launch of the Malaysian Coalition Against Discrimination of the Disabled (Madd, a group I wish [...]
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%), [...]
