After losing to Biden in Nov 2020, Trump refused to concede and he preached to the Trump echo chamber that his victory was stolen from him.

He riled up his supporters and eventually, on 6 Jan 2021, they attacked the Capitol.

Is Najib trying to follow suit? After both his request to postpone the hearing and to admit new evidence were rejected, Najib has now turned to Trump's playbook.

He is signaling to his hardcore supporters that the court is victimizing him and denying him justice in a conspiracy of the highest level.

1. CEO LTAT Nazim Rahman kata hull LCS sudah dibina, boleh nampak dari jauh.

Aspek reka bentuk yang paling penting.

Apa gunanya ada rangka/badan kapal yang besar tanpa pendawaian, senjata dan peralatan?

Detailed design yang patut siap Nov 2016 hanya siap ~80% sekarang 2. Kapal sebesar LCS mempunyai sistem pendawaian & paip yang panjang sekurang2nya 300km.

Di mana paip dipasang, di mana pendawaian disambung, dan banyak lagi butiran yang perlu ditentukan dan dibina.

Selepas itu, baru kira siap.

When the founder first approached me to produce a piece about @limkitsiang to be turned into an artwork for the now - @TheatreImpian, I was intrigued by the idea.

[Mengimbas Kembali Peristiwa Langkah Sheraton]
Saya tertarik dgn satu pandangan revisionis Langkah Sheraton, kononnya Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dijemput sertai rampasan kuasa bg membentuk kerajaan Melayu, tapi beliau menolak tawaran itu kerana syaratnya DAP perlu ditolak (1/14) Mungkin pandangan tersebut bertujuan untuk memberi ingatan kepada pimpinan DAP supaya bersyukur dan tidak mempersoalkan tindakan Datuk Seri Anwar berunding dengan Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi dan Datuk Seri Najib Razak dari Umno.

[Revisiting Events of Sheraton Coup]

Yesterday, I was intrigued by a revisionist take on the Sheraton coup, which posited that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was approached to join the coup to form a Malay-only gov but rejected the offer as the condition was to exclude DAP. (1/13) Perhaps it was meant to remind some DAP leaders to be “grateful” and not to question Datuk Seri Anwar for negotiating with UMNO’s Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Najib Razak. (2/13)

Establishment of DAP Johor legal team led by Pang Hok Liong, MP for Labis.

The harsh reality of the rakyat being unfairly slapped with compounds of RM10,000 effective 11.3.2021 “breaching” SOP has set in as many receive such compounds issued by enforcers in a state of shock.

THREAD | Why I’m still an optimist after a year of Sheraton coup

Before I delve deeper into this, we must first answer the question: was the 2018 win a fluke or an outcome of our electoral structure? (1/16) Of the 165 seats in the Peninsula, the grand opposition won 55 seats in 3 consecutive elections ('08,'13,'18). 10 more seats were won consecutively for 2 terms ('13,'18). If a general election is called today, these 65 seats would likely be secured by the grand opposition. (2/16)

The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is a type of warship capable of patrolling Malaysia’s maritime zone, fighting other enemy surface ships and submarines, and providing defence against air attacks at sea.

1) Two meetings in, no clear strategy has been seen coming out of the NEC, nor was there one in Budget 2021. Is the new MyDigital plan part of this? Which other sectors and activities will contribute to the 500,000 new jobs to be created this year?

1. The country’s recent surge in cases is a perfect storm caused by a government without legitimacy, a bureaucratic structure that hampers a whole-of-government approach, and a fetish for fiscal discipline at the wrong time. 2. Dr Adham Baba, the current health minister post-Sheraton coup, brought such disrepute to Muhyiddin’s administration with his Covid-19 “warm water” remedy that the PM’s media operatives replaced him with Health DG Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah to conduct daily press briefings.
