[2] Pelan Amanah Negara. The Plan for National Trust. That was what was unveiled alongside the new cabinet, made up of stalwart allies and anti-Mahathir forces in equal measure. Among them was the up and coming Anwar Ibrahim, now Minister of Finance.
As part of this new plan, he pledged to...
Another Malaysian list because...I don't know I thought it might be interesting.

Smash Civilization! Smonk the Big Weed!
