PKR to Delay Party Elections in the Wake of Latest In-Fighting
PKR secretary-general Datuk Saifuddin Nasution has announced that the Opposition party will likely delay its party elections set for later this year.

Azmin Ali’s Antics Prove Awkward for PKR
It is safe to assume that Parti Keadilan Rakyat leaders probably aren't spending their first weekend post GE13 as they had hoped – much less after Mohamed Azmin Ali's latest antics.
In case you've been hiding under a rock since Barisan Nasional's comfortable win on May 5, allow The Choice to recap.
This past week the PKR Deputy President seems to have gone to great lengths to distance himself from his superiors in the party – namely the family ...

Khairy’s Voice Of Reason Cuts Through The Tension
In the anxious 24 hours after GE13, few politicians were in a state to make rational observations about the result. But Umno youth leader Khairy Jamaluddin was a rare exception.
"What we got yesterday was a reprieve," he tweeted with brutal honesty. "If BN doesn't deliver on the change that people demand then GE14, khalas (it's over)."
He has continued this incisive response to events via Twitter days later following Terengganu Menteri Besar Ah...
A Mandate to Continue the Path of Transformation
Datuk Seri Najib Razak has just won his first election despite a "tsunami" of Chinese defections to the DAP. He has delivered what, in retrospect, should have been close to impossible. In the process, he has cemented Barisan Nasional's place in the political firmament for the next five years.
In his first election as Prime Minister, Najib reversed much of the damage Pakatan Rakyat inflicted in 2008. Kedah has returned to Barisan Nasional, and Um...

One of the top lawyers for defacto Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim - Kamar Ainiah Kamaruzaman – needed a break from the pressures of the court room and noticed a playground with children playing near her office. She decided it would be nice to have a break during lunch and watch the innocent children play.
She chose a bench near two young boys who were laughing and talking.
The first child said proudly "My Daddy's an accountant –what does your Daddy do?".
The second child said, "Well, my Mother is a lawyer!!"

Anwar’s Latest Attempt at Racial Polarisation: Dangerous and Pathetic
At his latest illegal rally in Johor Bahru, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim apparently did not merely call for a popular uprising against the Government. He also allegedly said that Hindraf, his political ally in 2007 and 2008 whom Pakatan Rakyat snubbed for no apparent reason in 2013, "is basically the Indian version of Perkasa", the Malay supremacy group, and calling both "extremist".
All because Hindraf chairman P. Waythamoorthy grew tired of being used as a prop by Anwar and accepted an appointment as Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department.
The Issues
A Cabinet For Transparency, Economic Growth and New Ideas
In any Westminster democracy it is the cabinet which constitutes the Government. This doesn't discount the fact that the parliamentary party with the most seats has the power to vote "aye" or "nay" to legislation, but key policies are decided at the weekly cabinet meeting.
The Number
Malaysian Investment Development Authority
162.4 – The number of billions of ringgit that Malaysia achieved in investment last year and that the country is on target to beat in 2013. Datuk Noharuddin Nordin, the Chief Executive of Malaysian Investment Development Authority said that with RM50 billion already received and another RM42 billion being negotiated, the outlook is good for Malaysia's economic growth.
