    The murder of Altantuya Shariibuu was considered one of the most gruesome murder committed in Malaysia and the sensationalism surrounding the murder escalated rapidly and drastically due to its link with the current Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Tun Razak. Although the case is considered close, the murder of Altantuya Shariibuu begs to question the integrity and nobility of the Prime Minister’s office and its administration. Furthermore, whilst the case was under investigation, Prime Minister Najib Razak has been constantly denying any known relationship between him and Altantuya…

    Uun Abdullah's Political Leadership: Tuun Dr. Mahathir

    There were a lot of differences in political leadership during his time, in addition, his political leadership is totally different with Tun Dr. Mahathir’s political leadership. Sivamurugan Pandian, Rusdi Omar &Mohd Azizuddin, again said in their journal, ‘according to Tun Abdullah, the changes made in his rudiments of the government under his administration relied on facts and figures-‘…what needs to be changed what needs to be adjusted, all those are done based on facts and figures that we have taken into consideration’ (New Straits Times, 2006)’ (SivamuruganPandian,Rusdi Omar &MohdAzizuddin, 2010). ‘The changes were made in an inclusive, low-key style that is perhaps even more distinctive from Dr. Mahathir’s hard-hitting approach than are the actual activities.’ (Welsh, 2005). Some scholars agree that Tun Abdullah’s administration was weak, ‘…his administration was soon criticised for being weak, lacking in focus and direction.’ (KhadijahMd Khalid, 2009). ‘Ethnic relations worsened because the Abdullah administration has reverted to promoting and protecting Malay Agenda and the Islamisation of society.’ (Lee Hock Guan,…
