Politics Now!

BOMBSHELL - 'ENDANGERED SPECIE' RINGGIT TO FACE NEW MASSIVE ATTACKS? - BANK NEGARA MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DEFEND THE RINGGIT - AND PREDATORY INVESTORS ALREADY SMELL BLOOD - EVEN AS DEJA-VU ANWAR ACCUSED OF TELLING WHITE LIES IN 2024, THE SAME AS IN 1997 - UNEMPLOYMENT THE LOWEST & GDP GROWTH THE HIGHEST BEFORE ANWAR'S ASIAN CRISIS FIASCO, THE OPPOSITE TO WHAT HE NOW CLAIMS - YET DAP, NO LONGER TRANSPARENT, ECHOES HIM INSTEAD OF DOING ITS OWN RESEARCH!

WHAT! SACK ANYONE WHO DOESN'T PERFORM? - BUT PM & FM ANWAR WOULD HAVE TO SACK HIMSELF, HIS DPM ZAHID & MOST OF HIS SLOPPY PKR MINISTERS! - SARAWAK'S TIONG KING SING BLAZES THE TRAIL EVEN AS 'SACKED' OR DEMOTED TOURISM DG PLAYS THE MALAY CARD

RINGGIT BLUES? IT'S WAY WORSE THAN THAT! - STOP THE NONSENSICAL RHETORIC - EVEN ALLY MCA TICKS OFF ANWAR AMID CAPITAL FLIGHT AS PUBLIC & INVESTOR CONFIDENCE PLUNGES - PRAGMATIC MECHANISMS & REALISTIC DIRECTION NEEDED, NOT FAKE ROSY PROPAGANDA & GAG-ORDER THREATS - ANWAR HAS TO BLAME HIMSELF FOR NOT SURRENDERRING THE FINANCE MINISTER POST - WHILE HIS PROPAGANDA MINISTER MUST BE SACKED FOR DESTROYING HIS GOVT'S CREDIBILITY & IMAGE OF PROFESSIONALISM

POLITICAL CRISIS THUNDERS IN - GAME OVER FOR ANWAR THE COUNTRY'S WORST-EVER FINANCE MINISTER? - ALL-ROUND INCOMPETENCE PUSHES RINGGIT TO THE BRINK OF RM5 TO US$1 - DON'T BLAME AMERICA OR CHINA, BLAME 'TAMBUN' ANWAR - DOES HIS GOVT KNOW DE-DOLLARIZATION ALSO MEANS U.S. HAS TO SHIFT TO HIGH-INTEREST RATE REGIME TO PROTECT ITS CURRENCY? - AND IT LOOKS LIKE ORDINARY AMERICANS ARE ABLE TO ADJUST TO FED RATES AT 5.5% - EVEN AS 'SELF-DENIAL' ANWAR & DAP STILL FEAR TO BITE THE '3% OPR' BULLET OF THEIR OWN MAKING - YET THEIR FOOLISHNESS ONLY SEALS THEIR POLITICAL COFFINS FASTER & CREMATES MALAYSIA'S TRAGI-COMEDY ECONOMY

ANWAR 'SHIVERS' - RE-OPEN UNEXPLAINED WEALTH ENQUIRY INTO TAIB FAMILY, NETIZENS THROW DOWN THE 'ANTI-CORRUPTION' GAUNTLET AT 'EMPTY RHETORIC' ANWAR - BUT OF COURSE, THEY KNOW THE ANSWER BY NOW - HE WOULDN'T DARE ROCK HIS OWN 'PM' BOAT - DESPITE THE GLARING FLEET OF ROLLS ROYCES, SUPER CARS, SECRET MANSIONS, MYSTERY CASH & SHAREHOLDINGS - NEITHER WOULD DAP & LEAST OF ALL, UMNO!

"NO WORDS COULD DESCRIBE HOW MUCH HE MEANT TO ME" - TAIB'S WIDOW RAGHAD PAYS TOUCHING TRIBUTE TO HIM - IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TEMPORARY TRUCE WITH HIS 'ON WARPATH OVER INHERITANCE' CHILDREN FROM FIRST MARRIAGE AS THEY MOURN HIS DEATH

THE WORST IS YET TO COME - DARK DAYS FOR THE RINGGIT, EVEN DARKER TIMES FOR MALAYSIA - AS ANWAR CASTS HIS 'JINX' OVER THE ECONOMY, LOCAL CURRENCY - ALREADY AT 26-YEAR LOWS, EVER-SINKING RINGGIT HITS NEW ALL-TIME BOTTOM AGAINST U.S. & SINGAPORE DOLLAR

IN DEATH, GRAFT-TAINTED TAIB MAHMUD ELEVATED TO 'HERO' STATUS - WITH 'POLITICAL CHAMELEON' ANWAR LEADING THE CHARGE TO SAY SO - DESPITE HIS PAKATAN COALITION HAVING FOR DECADES ACCUSED TAIB OF BECOMING RICH WHILE SARAWAKIANS MOSTLY STAYED POOR - WITH TAIB'S DEATH, WILL THE MULTIPLE PROBES DEMANDED ON TAIB-LINKED CORRUPTION VANISH INTO THIN AIR NOW THAT ANWAR IS DEPENDENT ON TAIB'S PBB PARTY FOR POLITICAL SURVIVAL?

OMG! IS MAHATHIR MADE OF STEEL? - PICS OF GRAND OLD MAN STILL ALERT, SHARP & WORKING WHILE IN HOSPITAL STUN MALAYSIANS - EVEN AS THEY MUST SURELY DISAPPOINT HIS POLITICAL FOES INCLUDING THE 'ANWARISTAS'

STAR FINANCE MINISTER OR CLOWN FINANCE MINISTER? - ANWAR THROWS RINGGIT HOT POTATO TO BANK NEGARA GOVERNOR - INSTEAD OF FACING THE BULLET HIMSELF - MAYBE HE SHOULD CONSULT DAIM WHO RESCUED THE ECONOMY TWICE

'ANYONE BUT ANWAR' SENTIMENT GROWS ALL ROUND, EVEN NAJIB WAS BETTER - "NO ONE TODAY IN PARLIAMENT CAN LEAD THIS COUNTRY. NOT ONE" - NOTHING BUT "INCOMPETENCE PLUS CORRUPTION PLUS PAS IN ARMANI SUITS" - DOMESTIC TOLERANCE FOR ANWAR'S FORK-TONGUED BUNGLING PLUNGES AS THE RINGGIT CRASHES - EVEN AS "EXTREMELY NERVOUS" FOREIGN INVESTORS FLEE AFTER UNEXPLAINED NAJIB SENTENCE REDUCTION
