Oppo people don’t read beyond 3rd para

Sooner or later the election will have to be called. But I shall jump the gun and take my blog into election mode now (remember the reformatting I promised?)

Postings will be much shorter but more frequent daily.

“Corruption is corruption, whether more or less”

‘Political expediency’ is telling people what is music to their ears but going to another group of people and telling them something else, says Wee Choo Keong. Principles and not political expediency will ensure that national interests come first.
