80 votes • Final resultsWith incentives to burn forests and choke and poison the whole lot of us, who then are the big buyers of Indonesian palm oil?
Yeo Bee Yin's hubby. Majulah Singapura.
Malaysian property tycoon Lee Yeow Seng is making waves as one of the most aggressive buyers of commercial real estate in Singapore, and he’s not done yet bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
There’s definitely something Malaysia can do about the haze.
Our awesome GLICs and tycoons own the planters, right?
But we prefer sandiwara and wayang any day.
So it took the Agong to tell gov to shut schools sooner.
Our dear PMX "personally contacted Prabowo", who "agreed to take the necessary steps".
Funnily, the two talked about forest fires on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Delhi last month.
Yeah... it's a circus.
Convicted ex-PM Najib Razak serves the rest of his jail sentence under house arrest courtesy of a conditional pardon by the Agong.
The viral letter that FT minister Hannah Yeoh called fake had house arrest in it, too.
This isn't a good look lah. No matter the spin.
Remember kids, it’s not “how much” you earn, but “how” you earn that matters.

If you take a look at embattled passport maker NexG's board, especially the new directors, you'll find a Roseli Abdul Ghani.
He is a retired army man and a lawyer, but also an aspiring politician.
He ran against KJ in Rembau during GE2018, under a PKR ticket and lost.
Mr. R is not the PKR MP. They are two different people.
Or at least that was the claim in the statements by Victor Chin and Abu Hanifah.
Selamat pagi, Malaysia.
I've been keeping tabs. Or at least trying to at @themalaysianist.

Re: NexG tussle
The glue here is Victor Chin, who's allegedly part of the so-called "corporate mafia", which he denies.
First he teamed with Farhash, then jumped ship to Ishak Ismail's camp.
So while the Anwar chump in NexG changed face, the backer/spine remains.

"Corporate mafia" ties are igniting. Frozen accounts. Lawsuit. Boardroom tussles. Alleged weaponisation of enforcement agencies. Names (past and present) linked to PM Anwar Ibrahim.
Huge governance problem under Anwar. Or byproduct of his PM-ship?
Selamat pagi, Malaysia.
I think if we are satisfied with merely Azam Baki not being renewed as MACC chief for the fourth time, then we are truly easy to please.
Hey, guys. Just wanted to say sorry for yesterday’s JDT financials tweet. I was wrong.
I know a good bunch of you expect better from me, and I’ll do that next time.
Have a good week ahead.
JDT denies using public/government funds. Says while audited financial accounts do list sports council, gov grants or donations, it's merely SOP where money is channeled for various purposes.
I have also deleted my original post as it doesn’t accurately represent the situation.

Who's going to tell this dude that JDT merch sales only brought in RM3.7 mil while ticketing only raked in RM4.9 mil. And "other income" RM7.4 mil?
Bet he'll just simp without checking out the audited financials. And I'm doing free work for this guy. On brand.
It’s been a while since I posted something useful.
So let’s talk about royal tax exemptions and I’ll use Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Idris’ (TMJ) Bugatti as a launch pad.
