Ringgit falls to 3.87; foreign investors pull billions out of Bursa
The ringgit has fallen to close to 3.87, a level last seen during the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis, due to uncertainty surrounding the 1MDB probe, the prospect of a US rate hike, and the plunge in global oil prices. Foreigners, meanwhile, have pulled billions of ringgit out of Bursa this year, exceeding the level for the whole of last year.
TPP is NOT a trade agreement; it is an MNC Protection and Promotion pact
While most of us were focussed on the massive 1MDB scandal, we were nearly hit by the so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. Do-or-die TPP negotiations were almost concluded, but thankfully, they were stalled at the last minute by some sticky points.
But this TPP won’t go away so easily: it is not an ordinary ‘trade agreement’. That term ‘trade agreement’ is part of the corporate media propaganda ploy to try and ‘sell’ the TPP deal to a naive public.

Umno split: Even Ummi Hafilda has had enough!
If you thought the divisions in Pakatan were bad enough, Umno itself is split. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this clip.
How bad can it get? Even staunch Umno supporter Ummi Hafilda has had enough! Now, isn’t this poetic? She helped in the effort to remove Anwar as DPM and now here she is in tears over the ouster of DPM Muhyiddin! Boo-hoo-hoo. You reap what you sow.
Muhyiddin’s revelation re RM2.6bn; Bukit Aman fire (Videos)
Dramatic news tonight! I just have one question for now: Will they finally question Najib or are they still busy questioning that 1MDB despatch rider? Read Francis Loh’s ‘Are we a ‘half-past-six’ democracy or what?’
Meanwhile, the fire at Bukit Aman broke out on the 10th floor of the old building (Tower 2), where the CID is located.
Concerns in Canada over Petronas LNG venture
Concerns have surfaced in the province of British Columbia over Petronas’ massive potential investment in a liquefied natural gas project in the Canadian province.
Let’s cut to the chase
Let’s get to the point.
Aliran’s P Ramakrishnan has issued a press release, in which he says:
If the PM can either confirm or deny what has been written concerning him on two counts, it can bring to a close the controversy that is presently raging.
- The private accounts that have been attributed to him in the AmIslamic Bank – are they his personal accounts?
- The alleged RM2.6bn that had found its way into these accounts – is this indeed true?
The PM so far has not denied these but can he at least affirm that these are facts?
If he can do these, we need not go after those who are only acting in the interest of the nation. These innocent people need not be hounded and their lives made difficult.
