Najib running out of money? RM1.5bil taken from EPF to fund Nong Chik's housing scheme

By Maclean Patrick, Malaysia Chronicle

At a time when other governments are looking into austerity programs to cushion themselves from a global recession, Malaysia is spending its retirement fund on ill-guided projects. And when a government of the day - the UMNO-BN - unceremoniously plays around with money its citizens have toiled hard for and set apart for their retirement needs, one thing is clear - nothing is safe anymore.

The nonsense about "winnable candidate"

By Raymond Tombung

Tun Musa Hitam had just shown his amusement and low opinion about this new popular terminology called “winnable candidates.” He said that it is not up to the leaders to decide but up to the people! And how true!

Personally, I have wondered how to determine if a candidate is “winnable” or not. Anyway, I am also not comfortable with the word “winnable” in this context because “winnable” actually means “can be won”. But what they mean is “able to win” (boleh menang) a phrase which has no single word to express in the English language. So we are stuck with the awkward “winnable”.

Islam, the Quran and Mohamad

By Joe Darlington

The singular contribution of Islam to the concept of religion or theology is that it killed the idea of God, if he did exist, continuing to send down prophets to Earth to guide mankind.

Islam, in its first recitation in the Quran, clearly states (like Buddhism) that there is no God but the religion holds that if a God did exist, then he would have certain attributes. The religion refers to the 1001 known attributes of God and this figure is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the various names by which God is called.

Of Sulu, Muslim sultanates, and Sabah and Sarawak leases

Sunday, 05 February 2012 10:33 posted by sulu in here


The Sultan of Brunei who originally ruled Sabah ceded it to the Sultan of Sulu in 1704 as a reward for helping suppress an uprising in his domain. In 1878, the Sultan's successor, Jamalul Azam, leased the territory to William Cowie and Baron von Overbeck for 5,000 Malaysian Dollars.

Overbeck was then the Austrian consul at Hong Kong and former local manager of the British opium firm of Dent and Company.


This territory rightfully belongs to the Sulu Sultan

Kejayaan Malaya Di Sabah Setelah Pembentukan Malaysia

Oleh James Ait

Setelah Perjanjian Malaysia ditandatangani oleh wilayah Singapura, Malaya, Sabah dan Sarawak, maka dunia mencipta satu lagi sejarah selepas perang dunia di asia, ia itu penyatuan wilayah menjadi sebuah negara bernama Malaysia.

Agak sedih kerana tanpa pengetahuan Sabah dan Sarawak, Singapura samada dikeluarkan atau menarik balik atau sememangnya telah bermain wayang untuk memikat Sabah dan Sarawak supaya bersetuju membentuk Malaysia. Suatu tanda tanya yang tidak pernah terjawab samada oleh Singapura atau Malaya, ialah kenapa wilayah rakan kongsi Sabah dan Sarawak tidak dijemput berbincang mengenai Singapura tidak bersama-sama Malaysia.

Some lies for BN to answer

By Daniel John Jambun

The Barisan Nasional had said it many times that they will “answer the opposition’s lies” (menjawab tohmahan-tohmahan pembangkang) and recently we are told that Sabah BN will have its own body to work on these answers. As a member of the opposition I am naturally challenged about such so-called lies and I am very interested to hear what BN has to say about a few ‘lies’ that we have been repeating over the years. I would therefore like to volunteer my services to this body (to answer our lies) by providing a list of such lies. I of course expect this body to answer all these lies as clearly and as convincingly as they can as soon as possible:
