Humanity owes the inventor(s) of salted iced Sprite plum-lime drink a Nobel Prize.

I don’t know the origin, but the country should be allowed to protect itself with nuclear weapons.

I missed out that PAS is also a member of Ikatan Prihatin Rakyat spearheaded by Muhyiddin Yassin.

It's basically a loose coalition of opposition parties that also includes ... Bersatu.

Since PAS is divorcing Bersatu, I suppose Ikatan Prihatin Rakyat is dead too?

[Jason Ng @ByJasonNg]

While you were sleeping, PAS decided to stop working with Bersatu.

Since Hadi Awang took over PAS, the party has joined and broken up with:

Pakatan Rakyat (2008–2015)
Gagasan Sejahtera (2016–2020)
Muafakat Nasional (2019–2022)
Perikatan Nasional (2020-2026?)

... and at the crises are the state's unique constitution intertwined with constitutional monarchy, adat institutions and the Federal Constitution.

This reminds me of that time Malaysiakini published an opinion piece to debunk WSJ's reporting on 1MDB.

Of course, it blew up in the author's face. I wonder who's that guy and what happened to him.

Interesting OpEd in FMT today, written by someone named “Yang Bin”.

Naturally, I Googled.

On FMT’s own author page, as far as I can see, there’s only one article under this name: the one published today attacking @rafiziramli.

The article itself only identifies Yang Bin as an “FMT reader”.

Search the name “Yang Bin” and macam-macam keluar.

One is linked to a crypto Ponzi case in Singapore. Another is the so-called “Kim Jong Il’s godson” Yang Bin.

I’m not saying this FMT writer is either of them. That would be irresponsible without proof.

But that’s exactly the point.

If a media portal wants to publish a politically loaded hit piece by someone with no clear public profile, no credentials, and no author history, then the least they can do is be more transparent.

Otherwise it looks less like an independent OpEd, and more like a conveniently placed smear under a disposable name.

FMT kena check sikit lah. Kalau nak buat kempen tersusun pun, jangan malas sangat.

For those of you tracking this, the sale to Malaysia was snagged by the presence of a US-made component in the missile.

The missile is now only for sale to Nato countries and its partner-nations. Malaysia is neither a member or a partner.
