Many decades back , Malaysia was a promising young nation multicultural, educated, outward looking, its people reading literature, playing Beatles / Stones records, pursuing education and dreaming big. Then came Mahathir Mohamad. The man who just turned 100 didn't lead a country he ruined it. Behind the polished façade and the carefully crafted soundbites of a statesman, Mahathir was an empty husk of a human being: slimy, cynical, and devoted not to his people but to his own power and vanity. His longevity, like all narcissistic tyrants, was sustained by the untroubled sleep of a man without conscience while millions bore the cost of his divisive and ruinous policies.

July 6, 2025

Business, Local Updated: July 2025 Malaysia has more than 30 major Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) — corporations where the government owns a significant stake, directly or via investment arms like Khazanah, EPF, or PNB. From MAS and Felda to Proton, Tabung Haji, and MARA Corp, GLCs have long shaped Malaysia's economy.
