Thanks once again to politikus‘ reporting for Malaysiakini, I’m learning a bit more about this case, which I hadn’t really taken the time to learn earlier.
This is obviously a very emotive issue. All the more reason to be clear on what exactly is being decided in the courts.
People who think (including me, arguably, in the [...]
Malaysiakini’s intrepid reporter has the flash.
Arguably, this means freedom of religion in Malaysia does not apply to all (update: actually, this might be a hasty proclamation – do have a look at my updated thoughts). Yesterday, politikus and I were discussing the case, and she told me that there was the possibility of providing ‘remedy.’ [...]
Let’s take a brief look at the cost benefit analysis for the two things he coulda done:
a) Fight the ROS decision to the bitter end
Should Anwar have decided to challenge the ROS decision in courts, we could have expected a galvanisation of the hardcore party streetfighters. The fighting spirit it would have engendered would have [...]
“The Government must hence take the painful but very important step of trimming the civil service sector into a leaner and more efficient “machine”. The increase in pay will be a waste of public funds, if the move is not accompanied by a corresponding increase in civil service productivity.” Tony Pua

Things are wrapping up over here!
Gripping, meaningful political discourse.
Bloggers who decided against covering missed out, I reckon. Of course you can follow live at Malaysiakini and Kelantan TV.
Basically, DS Anwar took to the stage to directly address this ROS disqualification business.
A long and pretty good speech later, he advocates that he not run for president, but lead the party in [...]
*rivetting*
Session has been adjourned for lunch. Writing more now.
He will still be contesting tomorrow.
Official statements in BM and English.
Short lull in work while the AMK (Youth) introduce their candidates before voting begins. I believe the Women’s wing might already be voting.
Probably not sharp enough to write sharp analysis, so will just point to stuff and put up pics :)
Writing this post actually reminded me to post up speeches by Dr. Syed Husin Ali, [...]
Woo hoo!
We’ve faced some challenges and dodged some bullets to get here, but the air is fresh and the atmosphere excited here in Seremban :)
We’re just setting up and things are falling into place. I’ve been tasked with watching the media room full time (stop by if you like, hehe), so I’ll be online quite [...]
Update 23/5, 2.30pm: feeling a bit better, thanks to politikus and all her nursing talents! mom was kind enough to let me off dish duty too!
