The other day, I was at the ATM when I noticed a middle-aged couple in front of me in the queue. They tried a few times to withdraw funds. As I waited a few minutes, I overheard them saying they were trying to withdraw RM20, but the machine responded “insufficient funds”.

Commission must be neutral - Brave New World - By Azmi Sharom
To ensure that there is no conflict of interest, the conducting officers must be totally unbiased.

by Mohamad Tajuddin Mohamad Rasdi - Malasyiakini - Letter ; Feb 16, 2001
I wish to contribute my thoughts on the Valentine-Christian issue with respect to the renowned speaker Ustazah Siti Nor Bahyah.
The main message of my thoughts is simply that Muslim scholars and clerics must be made to understand that they are not experts in everything ...particularly a good many things about other faith like Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism and others. .....details at Malaysiakini Letter - Happy Sin Day — Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani 2011-02-14

Selangor Water Impasse
Selangor Water Woes
More than 72% of contracts, worth RM600 million, was awarded through direct negotiation, not open tender process. Between 2005 – 2007, RM325 million could not be accounted for between Syabas public accounts and the record of contracts. RM51.2 million, or 120% more than the RM 23.2 million approved by Jabatan Kawalselia Air Selangor (JKAS), was spent on Syabas office renovation.
