The Kuala Lumpur Traveler

I think by now, the whole world are convinced that this second sodomy charge against Anwar Ibrahim is yet another fabricated issue to stop Anwar’s return into politics. The whole drama, just like the first sodomy case many years back is full of inconsistencies and controversies… but laughable even by kids standards.
First, Najib said he never met Saiful Bukhari. Then he said he did meet Saiful Bukhari but that was on scholarsip application matters…. never mind the fact that Saiful Bukhari is a college drop-out after performing badly in his tertiary study.
Later, Anwar was arrested one hour before the 2pm …read more

Today’s two reports in Malaysiakini must be too much for PAS members to swallow.

Saari: Some PAS leaders keen on pact with Umno
This revelation comes from PAS Selangor information chief Saari Sungib amid denials from the party’s top leadership that no such cooperation will take place.
Speaking to malaysiakini today, Saari said PAS deputy president Nasaruddin Mat Isa and the party’s commissioner for Terengganu Mustapha Ali are solidly behind the idea.
“They believe that if PAS leaders can hold some key ministerial posts in the Umno-led federal government, it will be possible to initiate changes from within,” he added.

During my recent trip back to Kelantan, I stopped by at this very down to earth Haji Ramli Restaurant in Kg. Pek, Machang, Kelantan.
Famous for its mee rebus (popularly known as Mee Kg. Pek), Restoran Haji Ramli has always been our favourite place to satisfy our hungry stomach after almost 10 hours travelling in the car (approximately another 1 hour needed to reach Kota Bharu from Kg Pek, Machang). Everytime we dine here, we only order this mee rebus. Nothing else, and the kids enjoy it so much too.
I need not describe in details of this mee rebus, just …read more

Malaysiakini reported:
Dr Mahathir Mohamad has urged Umno members not to repeat his ‘mistake’ in backing Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to be prime minister.
“I admit I was wrong in choosing Abdullah as my successor. Now I regret because I didn’t think that ‘Mr Clean’ would not be that clean.
“I believe that Umno members and leaders at all levels who are angry with me (for anointing Abdullah) surely does not want to make the same mistake,” said Mahathir.

So Mahathir finally admitted his mistake of appointing Pak Lah as the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Well… that is a good start …read more

After the recent election, the BN federal government announced there will be no more Mercedez cars for government officers. All new cars for state and federal officials must be Proton Perdana. Flip. Today, the same federal BN government said it is OK to buy Mercedez. No less than Pak Lah, the PM himself , gave his blessing to Terengganu to buy Mercedez E200 Kompressor for Terengganu State Government officers. Flop.
Controversy surrounding the Terengganu government’s decision to purchase 14 Mercedes E200 Kompressors for RM3.43mil was laid to rest today following the prime minister’s blessing for the new luxury cars.
Terengganu Menteri Besar …read more

Dataran Merdeka is historically significant where the Union Jack was replaced by the Malayan flag for the first time at midnight August 31, 1957. In modern days Malaysian history, Dataran Merdeka is also not less significant where various anti-government demonstrations were held here and other areas nearby for various reasons, but I doubt if those events will ever make it into the Malaysian history books.

I just came back from short emergency leave (due to family matters)…. which explains why this blog has not been updated for a few days. I apologize for this short and unplanned hiatus. I am pulling myself together with a lot of catching up at work and also at home, so do bear with me for a little while, while I am trying my best to sort a lot of things out. I do hope to come back writing more interesting stuff soonest possible. Thank you for your continued support.
