As we know, The Malaysian Insight (also TMI) is likely to cease operations next week in the same way as its rumoured predecessor The Malaysian Insider (TMI) did.
But I am in a way delighted that just prior to its close-down after a year's worth of news (including GST-ed kembong and kerang, wakakaka), its editor Jahabar Sadiq has endowed us with a parting gift, that of another BEST (9th) political statement 2018 for kaytee to add to the collection here, to wit:
