| | | |  | | | | | Are These the Secret Details of Anwar Ibrahim’s Wealth? | We have been following the saga of the "I" Files, which claims to be a documented retelling of the life and times of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. We were at first a bit sceptical of the entire proposition, but it has become a riveting read, and now our wait appears to be paying off.
In the latest installment, the author, 'Jonathan Smith,' tells the story of how Anwar created his financial empire. This is not merely a story of what we already know -- Anwar's 5-star lifestyle after leaving prison in 2004 -- but rather contains allegations and detail generally unknown in Malaysia. |  | | |  | | | | | DAP Tries to Save Face After Tunku Departs | | The Chinese-dominated party is in full damage-control mode after Tunku Aziz Tunku Ibrahim quit the DAP as a matter of principle.
Despite the party leaders' initial shock at their vice-chairman's resignation, they have scrambled to save face, trying to project a rosy picture after Tunku Aziz described the "tyranny" of secretary-general Lim Guan Eng's autocracy.
The DAP now claims that Tunku Aziz's sudden departure would not affect the party's appeal to the Malay voters.

Already heavily subscribed, traders and analysts agree on one thing – they've never seen anything like this much attention given to an IPO before.

Malaysia currently accounts for 73 per cent of the total sukuk issued globally.
The country's well-regulated framework, overall enabling tax and economic environment, as well as economic stability and Malaysian sukuks' overall rating is expected to continue driving Malaysia's dominance of the market... | | | | |  | | | | |
