Actually I’ve got quite a lot of things saved in the computer. I also made a website then on geocities.com storing all these things, but I can’t locate it anymore. Checking just now, I still have the original website data though, with last update on 10th September 1998!

The things I have include:
- Mahathir’s press releases
- Anwar’s press releases
- Documents repository
- What other leaders say
- Selected press releases by various media agencies
- Selected postings from various sources

I might go thru them and post anything that I find interesting enough.

wow… very very interesting indeed!!, we also felt that something was not right between mahathir and anwar around 8 to 10 months before anwar was sacked…

the displeasure between these 2 men were very evident when both were on stage during the national day celebration in penang on 31 aug 1998..

both were not smilling and were not looking at each other either… when it was supposed to be a cheerful occasion to celebrate our nation’s independent aniversary…..

i remembered listening to the radio that anwar was sacked from all government positions on the night of 2 september 1998 !!! while moginsapol at fire house!!!

and now 10 years on… anwar is seen gaining the upperhand…. controliing 5 states including the super rich selangor darul ehsan and gaining 4 times more parliament seats for the opposition from just 19 in 2004 to 82 in 2008!!!!!

aiyaaaaaaaa
