		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 10th anniversary of Black 14. On April 14 1999, Anwar Ibrahim was convicted by Mahathir&#8217;s kangaroo judge Augustine Paul.
The morning of the judgement day, thousands of people gathered around court house carrying platcards with slogan &#8220;Rakyat Hakim Negara&#8221;. PM Mahathir instructed the mass protest to be suppressed with violent forces. Before the announcement of the [...]]]></description>

It is wrong to think that Defence scandals confine only to submarine, Eurocopter, Sukhoi, and big-time weapons.
Today I held a press conference in the lobby of the Parliament to expose more scandals in awarding Defence contracts. Last week, I received a written answer from the Ministry of Defence revealing that in 2008 54% of the [...]]]></description>

Karpal Singh was charged today. I was in court showing my solidarity with the Lion King.
He was in his usual self, undeterred and vowed to continue with his outspoken style.
Coincidentally (or rather by design), Umno Disciplinary Committee made several ground-shaking announcement this afternoon.
It seems that the Disciplinary Committee is inclined to support Dr Mahathir&#8217;s advice. [...]]]></description>

When we are facing a global crisis of an unknown magnitude, it is difficult to say how much money is needed to cushion the impact.
In general, the problem is not about how much we inject to stimulate our national economy. Or even how much reserve we can afford to use for the package?
We should take [...]]]></description>

Parameswara&#8217;s cabinet meeting under the Malacca tree, accompanied by dogs and kancil
In parliament today, some BN lawmakers tried to ridicule Pakatan Rakyat. They described the holding of Perak Legislative Assembly under the tree as &#8220;law of the jungle&#8221;.
