On 16 July 2009, Teoh Beng Hock was found dead at Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) building. Teoh and several others had been hauled up for questioning the day before. Much later it was made known that the others had shared they were treated badly, denied a lawyer, deprived of water and food. Teoh is an aide to exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah, which MACC seems to be trying to build a case upon. There is hardly any news on outcome of that particular investigation. What is the mystery?

It is sad news that the 10 bodies of sailors from that USS John McCain have been recovered. All were found within the navy ship itself as reported by theStar . One unidentified body is also found within the compartments and expected to be handed over to Malaysian authorities. Compared to the USS Fitzgerald collission co...

The South East Asian (SEA) Games 2017 is hosted in Malaysia and runs from 19th Aug to 30th Aug 2017. The official website is Kuala Lumpur 2017 and keeps an updated list of events for the 38 sports joined by 11 countries. Its opening was well organised and there was good coverage/broadcast to promote the event. Most notable international news isn't of the type expected but of blunders in the media, where flags are wrongly displayed. Obvious unhappiness is displayed as several Malaysian private and government websites being defaced. Even the host country isn't spared as a wrong flag is displayed for Malaysian swimmer Keith Lim. Or the media knew something we were not aware of. Wrong flag displayed for Malaysia (from youtube) Wrong flag displayed for Thailand (from youtube) Latest medal tally, indicates that Malaysian athletics are much more prepared than the promoters and media of SEA games. Too much of dependency for news updates from twitter and facebooks might...
