malaysiakini's Stories on the Political CRISIS in Malaysia

It is sobering that one speech in the Permatang Pauh byelections is becoming the catalyst that could result in the demise of the BN as reported in this malaysiakini article Koh, Ahmad trade verbal jabs.

We know that Ahmad made a speech on a sensitive topic, ie the position of the Chinese in Malaysia and quite a few reporters verified this.
Then we had the DPM making an apology on behalf of UMNO and the government but the man himself is unrepentant and even claims to have the support of many followers.

Thanks to You Tube. ABBA sings "The Winner Takes it ALL". There is great emotion in this song. He composed the song and his ex-wife sings it
