Is Nazri out of his mind? Since when is criticising the Deputy Prime Minister or asking him to come clean on the Altantuya case a 'severe offence'? 27million Malaysians deserve to know what hand did the DPM play in Altantuya's murder. As it is, all paths lead to the DPM. Blurred areas of the case can only be answered by the DPM or his ADC Musa Safri. All evidence points to a HIGHLY

Educated and politically aware Sabahans resent it when arrogant West Malaysians tell them these few things:"Sabah joined Malaysia in 1963.""Islam is the official religion of Sabah.""So, when are you coming over to Malaysia?""We are in Malaysia so speak Malay."Of course there are many other things West Malaysians mutter which we Sabahans get a lil uptight about but forgive them in the end.

Yesterday's newspapers reported that a senior Education Dept. official in Sabah was being charged for alleged corrupt practices involving RM92,800. Today, the guy's been charged with a another involving RM6,800. By doing simple maths, this guy would have accumulated a total of about RM100,000. Of course, this is just the money they found out about. Perhaps he managed to stash nearly
