Who is actually won the Sabah Election?

Sabah’s election is just concluded. The people of Sabah elected a new government comprising various parties with a simple majority. The coalition of these parties is so fragile. The Chief Minister post becomes a debatable issue which was settled with adjustment from the leaders of this coalition. In the midst of Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen another melodrama orchestrated by our politicians. As an ordinary citizen of this beloved nation, I am so frustrated with these politicians.  Sabah was governed by a government elected by people. Then, a group politician who aspired to rule this state triggered a crisis. As a result, the legitimately elected government collapsed. This leads to the new state election which elicited the current spike ofCovid-19 cases in Malaysia.  As the leaders of this nation, I just wondered whether these leaders realised their role and what they were supposed to do to safeguard the interest of this nation and its people. By observing the current situati...

My View – Malaysia Day

In the past six months, I am sitting at home and thinking about my country. Last February we had a new government, which was not elected by the people. The change of government has happened during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our leaders are too busy negotiating and securing for their positions. Did they bother about the nation and its people? I am not too sure about that. Their primary focus on securing their positions then looking after the interest of this nation. Now, their attention to Sabah election. Again, they are fighting to secure seats and talk about winning the election. Are they really bothering about this nation and its people? Again, I am not too sure. We elected them as our representatives to fight for our rights, but their focus is about their survival in politics. I am dumbfounded. Every week I have to buy groceries for my small family. Both of us are working. Fortunately, we are able to manage our expenses without any fuss. While I am doing my shopping, I c...

Lone Wolf Terrorist – A Potential Threat

An Introduction Terrorism is a disease. The innocent people including women and children are killed mercilessly by the terrorists in the name of false ideology. Lately, lone wolf terrorist attacks have become conspicuous and dangerous to detect and to prevent by the intelligence and security agencies. Even though the world is facing Covid-19 pandemic, terrorists find a way to kill ordinary people. Salafists-Jihadists Two months ago, a lone wolf was arrested by British Police after he attacked and killed three people at a Forbury Gardens in Reading. Khairi Saadallah was originally from Libya. Khairi is 25 years old. Even though the British Intelligence Agency had identified him but he is not considered as a high risk. Last February, Sudesh Amman, who was shot dead by police after he had stabbed two people in Streatham. Amman was 20 years old. Although he was considered by the British security forces as a potential threat, the limitations on their resources have restricted their ability ...
