The Enigm@ Chronicles

In the newest and latest umbrage to local carmaker Proton and not to mention the tax paying citizens of Terengganu, the state government has forgone their support for the Proton Perdana V6’s and instead has selected to purchase 14 Mercedes’s E200 Kompressor from the foreign car manufacturer for the use of their state exco’s.
The MB [...]

The latest in what is surely a long long list (unproven due to lack of tangible proof) of the mismanagement of public funds (read: rakyat’s monies) is the highly embarrassing escapades of PM Badawi and DPM Najip.
News first surfaced on the web via the ever delightful Lulu’s blog, and was then picked up by MP [...]

update: Not surprisingly the rakyat has responded in a multitude of ideas & suggestion in as much as complaint against Azalina’s highhandedness on the cancellation of the tourism MoU’s. See here .

When new Tourism Minister Azlina last week announced that the tourism MoU’s signed with the 4 new Pakatan Rakyat (PR) states are [...]

PKR President Datin Seri Dr. Wan Azizah and new incumbent MP Nurul Izzah Anwar are set to be the first mother-daughter team in the same session of parliament since 50 years of independence.
Previously there has already been pairs of father-son teams with Opposition’s Lim Kit Siang and his son Lim guan Eng taking the current [...]

New UMNO Information Chief Muhammad Muhd Taib is apparently as clueless as they come nowadays. It would seem that the various roles and responsibilities of a leader is a foreign concept to him when he actually goes on the record to defend PM Abdullah Badawi.

With the news of the announcement that the Selangor MCA division’s decision to resign from all state level positions, MCA’s strategy as the opposition in the state government clearly comes down to basically sitting back and letting things deteriorate.
As seen time and again the BN’s component parties have always required their members to tow the [...]

Apparently Khir Toyo is out.
And supposedly it’s because he suddenly ‘felt responsible‘ for the devastating defeat BN suffered in Selangor. DUH!!!
After nearly two weeks post-election Khir Toyo’s conscience has finally caught up with him. And he’s now stepping forward to take the brunt of the responsibility, albeit being 2weeks late on that account. In that [...]

 
 
There are some general expectation in politics that are standard anywhere around the world. One of these is the accepting of defeat gracefully. The Japanese have the hara-kiri equivalent in politics where politician will step down due to the loss of honour. And yet this very concept is alien and apparently does not exist [...]

It’s barely been a couple of days and already the attacks have begun. Instead of reviewing their many mistakes that had contributed to the stunning loss to the oppositions parties of DAP, PKR & PAS, Barisan is apparently quickly getting on the “blame wagon” - either that or they are actively trying to cause racial [...]
