Whiffs of another PKR implosion
Speculation is abound that PKR is on the cusp of another implosion.
Like before, the rift is forming between party top leader Anwar Ibrahim and the deputy president.
The current deputy president Rafizi Ramli and his camp are said to be unhappy with alleged irregularities with the division polls.
It got to the point that Rafizi was speculated to be on the verge of resigning as economic minister.
However, a source claimed that despite the grumblings, the party leadership has decided to move on to central elections.

Petronas v Petros ceasefire
Tensions between Petronas and Sarawak's Petros boiled over when the latter sent a legal notice accusing the former of operating illegally in the state.
It got to the point that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had to intervene to secure a ceasefire.
Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg, meanwhile, teased that the state is playing "the game" with Petronas - but vowed to resolve the dispute.
Sarawak has maintained that it holds 60.87 percent of the country’s proven and probable petroleum reserves and is responsible for 90 percent of Malaysia’s liquefied natural gas exports.
