As you all may be aware, there is a call for a massive of Malaysian tourism, products and services dubbed #BoycottMalaysia trending on Twitter.

The Malaysian Election 2018 & Opposition Victory Explained

This is from one of my many old drafts so please bear with the redundancy of the information. However it is worth to revisit the changes in the last general elections m so that we are reminded on why we decided to make the change to a new .

It has been almost 200 days after the last elections and since (PH) came into power and yet despite revelations & the on-going criminal charges against those who walked in the corridors of power in the past, there are still many (including your goodself – I can’t still believe that Lim Guan Eng is the Finance Minister of Malaysia) still in disbelief that the corrupt, outdated, back-thinking was promptly kicked out from the corridors of power and as whole were sick and tired of how things were done in the past and wanted a change for the better.

(It was a war that was not expected to win but they beat the odds – the was indeed a war that they were not expected to win but they did win in the end)

Continued from Part 1

From the offset, the odds in GE14 were stacked up against the Pakatan (PAS somehow had it easier considering their loose working relationship with BN).

Some of the key opposition were charged with criminal cases or misuse of power – Rafizi with BAFIA and Lim Guan Eng with charged under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission () Act 2009, which carries a maximum jail term of 20 years and a of no less than five times the amount or value of the gratification, or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.

Malaysia 101: Dr Mahathir – Democracy in Malaysia is Dead

democracy

More interesting things, especially on democracy and , are taking place on social media and on late nights when I do have the time, I usually spent it surfing through instead of writing a post for the blog. Another is that I have gone “back to school” and I managed to get one of the certificates that I targeted to get this year. Unfortunately, it is just a start and I have another target to meet in the next few months. So, it is back to doing revisions and the dreaded homework in the coming months. Image: Pinterest

I was flying in to Malaysia just the other day and yes, I was flying on . It was kind of painful to see the good, hard-working people in MAS facing some uncertainty as MAS undergoes a major restructuring.

(Some snippets for this week. Hello friend, feeling jet-lag ah? This what happens if you fly too many times on tax payers money and do most of your “work” from overseas and leaves the country to run on auto pilot. Image The Net)

The post was originally slated to be posted last week (or was it the week before that? I can’t recall) but after half way through drafting it, I fell asleep. By the time, I had time to complete my draft, I had other thoughts and decided to start fresh again. You see, I am away on another assignment and the vicious cycle had started all over again.
