By Syed Jaymal Zahiid and Adib Zalkapli SHAH ALAM, Dec 19 — Pakatan Rakyat’s top leaders today lauded their pact but agreed sticky issues need to be worked out in their quest to capture Putrajaya. Among some of the sticky issues was a compromise on local government elections which is now worded as “strengthening local democracy”.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 19 — A party convention is usually cause to celebrate, but the Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) first congress today will be all business.

The highlight will be the unveiling of a common policy framework to guide the three parties to speak with one ...

The editorial board of the National Post get it right...

Croquet balls turned hedgehogs and hookah-smoking caterpillars have nothing on the year we’ve just spent in the good ole US of A. Speaking as ...

Cinematical Seven: Best Mayhem of 2009

8 hours ago ago from Cinematical

At this time last year, I was proudly tasked with chronicling 2008's finest moments in "big-screen mayhem, violence, destruction and other such shenanigans." I've still opted to sort these sequences out by specific manner of cinematic excess, and I've swapped out a category for "Most Tasteless Slaughter" (think effectively restrained moments of off-screen violence) for "Most Ridiculous Action" (think the exact opposite of that).
