IT was a beautiful night as the full moon glowed above Tanjung Karang but the war drums have begun on the ground.

THE future is bleak for Umno in the state elections except perhaps in Negri Sembilan.

HE was the most powerful Umno warlord in Selangor until he was sacked from the party.

ONE of Umno’s most gifted orators, Datuk Seri Alwi Che Ahmad recently described himself as “paper lama” or "old newspapers" after deciding to retire from politics.

DATUK Seri Anwar Ibrahim had seemed a bit wobbly on the political front the last few weeks but the PKR retreat last weekend ended in a show of support for his leadership.

ANOTHER bombshell has just fallen – the sex video, which has dominated the headlines, is more likely to be authentic than a deepfake.

All sides seemed to have upped the ante following the arrest of a top aide of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was flooded with birthday greetings but the Malay parties probably gave him the best present by pushing for a Bill that will inject some 3.9 million new Malay voters into the voting pool.

TUN Dr Mahathir Mohamad may find himself facing a firing squad of sorts when he chairs the Pakatan Harapan presidential council meeting today.

The beleaguered Datuk Seri Azmin Ali seems to have the support of the most influential man behind the Prime Minister but the burning question is why the police investigation into the sex video is taking so long.

HE had dropped off the radar screen the last six months but Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has returned with a bang.

IT was the Hari Raya open house at the Prime Minister’s Department but the centre of attention was Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.
