...individuals were awarded these highly lucrative permits. "The PM cannot act as though he is an innocent bystander," wrote Promuda chairman Don Rahim in an Oct. 16 e-mail to members.

Other critics take an even stronger line, urging Abdullah to shake up the entire cabinet, which they argue is heavy with holdovers from the Mahathir...
After 11 tries, it looked like this would be it. After 11 tries, 11 almosts and should-have-beens, the Harvard field hockey team was supposed to shake the tiger off its back—and, perhaps more importantly, give shine to an otherwise disheartening 2005 season.

Many expected Haddock and Epstein to run together, and the abrupt turnover at SAC and CLC has left UC vets dazed.“The fact that there are not that many returning members of the Council is going to make this...
