| 2001-01-08 | Suqiu And The Bearers Of Bad Tidings Now for the reality: the KLSE is in shell-shock.
Besides the MAS bailout, which questioned the government's
fiscal and financial policies, there is the Lunas typhoon
and the Malay Unity fiasco. The Lunas by-election upset the
government's political equilibrium, and the Malay Unity
fiasco, to which must be added the Suqiu proposals since one
impetus for the Malay Unity discussions is to put the
Chinese in there place, the racial equilibrium.

| 2000-12-22 | Malay Unity And Disunity? Malay disunity upsets him much these days. This time,
he did his bit for Malay Unity by weaning 300 PAS members
from Trengganu into UMNO. But he cannot understand why
many, many UMNO members move the other way -- without
benefit of cash and other benefits. A few hundred thousand
UMNO members joined KeADILan and PAS in the two years he, as
Goliath, was put in his place by David, one Dato' Seri Anwar
Ibrahim, now in solitary confinement in Sungei Buloh prison.
Several opposition leaders, including members of parliament
and state assemblymen were once UMNO members. That more
Malays prefer him to the Prime Minister is, in the latter's
view, proof enough of Malay disunity.
