If PAN/PAS knows how to spin this, UMNO is going to lose big in the upcoming PRN. I cannot believe how blatant (or stupid) UMNO is, doing this before Hari Raya/PRN. They are basically telling the Malay polity that 1MDB is halal. DSAI will pay a heavy price #BeyondStupid #Malaysia

For the record- only a political earthquake can stop #GE15 in October. Booking my ticket for KL now ... (never Air Asia no matter how cheap) See all of you soon! #Malaysia #Elections

I must be stupid. How does one spent RM1.6 billion on opulent goods? She has got to be the GOAT Malaysian shopper. In contrast, the new 96-bed hospital in Bukit Jalil only cost RM310 million. I am speechless. And there are plenty of idiots out there who are still saying Jibby is

This guy is making the point on double standards when it comes to action on hate speech. Is he right? Action only taken in one direction? Madani is all talk but selective action? What do you think? Minorities must suffer in silence? #Malaysia #PoliticalIslam
