'Looks Like Obama Drew An Inside Straight'
As a political matter, the president has run into problems securing an authorization from Congress for the use of military force in Syria. Democratic members clearly sense that the public mood is against intervention, and are hesitant to go against popular opinion in order to help out Obama. Republicans, meanwhile, were never really in the game of helping out this administration in the first place.

So while Russia's offer to broker a potential diplomatic solution to the crisis didn't change the nature of the Syria conflict, it potentially altered the politics of the matter. And as one longtime Republican strategist put it to The Huffington Post, Russia may have given the president a way out of a difficult political situation.

"It looks like Obama drew an inside straight here," said the strategist.

Yesterday foreign funds doing a net buying of RM159.1mil. Let see if they continue to buy today. Dr. Marc Faber also favors Malaysian Banks as compare to US. Looks like all the good news out...if Syria issues settle, FOMC meeting settles, what else will bring fear to the market? If no fear, then greed will come.

Why don't you blame the country 's weak exchange ? If you are buying cheap in any other country, wouldn't u? Less losses and bigger trade......don't expect them to be loyal if you r not too.....the difference is they have bigger capital that's all...
