I told Nik Nazmi, the Menteri Besar’s political secretary, about the Badrul problem way back in mid-2008. I told him we have probably ‘lost’ him. And we actually lost him a few days after the 8 March 2008 general election. NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin |

The purpose of creating MARA Junior Science Colleges was clear, to screen the “best and brightest” among Malay children to undergo privileged training in science- and mathematics-based education. The vision was to create intellectual elites able to build the nation which was then in the process of modernizing. A REPUBLIC OF VIRTUE Azly Rahman http://azlyrahman-illuminations.blogspot.com/ |

Anwar Ibrahim and many of the opposition leaders have this false feeling of grandeur about themselves. But they are not grand, and certainly far from great. They did not make 8 March 2008 happen. The people made it happen. And what the people make the people can break. THE CORRIDORS OF POWER Raja Petra Kamarudin |

For example, did The Star report the details of the two Datuks who are being sued by lawyer Rosli Dahlan? Maybe I missed that one but I do not remember reading it in the mainstream media -- or rather the government-owned media that is not quite mainstream any longer.

I am very pleased to read the ‘open letter’ from my old friend Megat and thought I would respond with an open letter of my own. Yes, Megat and I go back a long way indeed, to 1963 to be exact. The last time we met was in Tengku Razaleigh’s house in 2007. NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin |

Ciri utama yang dapat membuktikan betapa bonsainya fikrah aktivis politik kita hari ini ialah kegagalan mereka untuk megenali siapa musuh utama dan siapa kawan. Siapa kawan utama dan siapa pula kawan sampingan. Siapa kawan sepanjang perjuangan dan siapa kawan sementara. Siapa musuh dan seteru abadi dan siapa pula musuh sementara.

http://azlyrahman-illuminations.blogspot.com/ Fashionable it may seem to credit this or that "economic miracle" episode to this or that country to the name of its leader, economist, dictator, emperor, etc. - the larger picture of the historical march of "freakonomics" is neglected.
