NO one likes to lose - especially if you were once or, rather twice, the most powerful man in the country.

REPORTS of Tan Sri Shahrizat Jalil making a comeback in Wanita Umno has sent ripples through the party.

Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi went for the kill, bringing down the axe on those deemed to have breached party discipline and who were also known to be critical of his leadership.

CAN one win and yet lose at the same time?

ALMOST everyone in Umno believes that Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is a sure-win in the party elections which have to be held this year.

THERE may be a new Chief Minister in Melaka soon, even though the two men at the centre of the power struggle keep denying that anything unusual is going on.

Ahmad Zahid has held Umno in the palm of his hand at many Umno general assemblies but the coming one will be the most challenging in his political career.

PUBLIC opinion was divided about Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Cabinet and more so about the line-up of his deputy ministers.
