Last week, Malaysiakini ran an article about Aishah Atam, a young Malay girl from Dungun, Terengganu. She had recently been arrested and placed into custody under Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 for alleged involvement in terrorism activities.

MRCA Deal - Between Existential Threat and National Debt
Looks like someone had just canceled his one-way ticket out of Malaysia.
Isn't it ironic during the whole diplomatic crisis with North Korea, someone choose to keep quiet?

And that is what I'm calling opposition party supporters who keep on highlighting the mantra that our submarines can't dive.
Since the inception of our submarine units using French - Spanish consortium of DCNS - Navantia, the opposition keeps on harping that the purchase was useless and waste of money, especially because the submarines do not dive and it is second hand.
