Keeping Anwar down: Will Umno turn violent and will the world step in to help M'sians

To an increasing number of Malaysians, it looks like UMNO and its president, Prime Minister Najib Razak, can never be trusted. Firstly, they lost their integrity by plundering the wealth of the country and 'turning' Malaysia and almost everything in it into their own 'property', even if most of the loot is held by trusted cronies.

Najib however is not only part of UMNO, he has been accused of being a pathological liar. And the odd thing is, he doesn't care who knows it, he doesn't feel shy to spout grandiose verbose today and the very next day be caught behaving like a banana republic dictator. Thick-skinned or not, this was exactly what happened in the recent decision by his minion, the Attorney General, to appeal the acquittal of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim from sodomy charges.

For national security, Khairy defends keeping arms purchases top secret

Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has declared support for a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, but stressed last night that several areas needed to be excluded in the interest of national security, such as defence procurements.

He pointed out that “no country will disclose specifications” of their military hardware due to security concerns.
