What Malaysian Politics Should Be

An old schoolfriend called me the other day to say that this article in The Star finally persuaded him (an MCA member) to vote Opposition this time around.

It was heartwarming of course, and for all the right reasons (he also mentioned doubts about our credibility and vision, but for those with such doubts, do see [...]

Nik Nazmi: A Newer, Better Breed of Politics

Today is blog about Nik Nazmi day :) Nik is KeADILan’s candidate for Seri Setia, a state seat within the parliamentary constituency of Kelana Jaya. (Nik has an awesome website you should really check out at niknazmi.com :)

I’ve sat next to Nik at work for a good chunk of my time with KeADILan and know [...]

Brilliant Election Videos – Help Spread

Pratamad has even created them in handphone format – e-mail me at nat[at]renyi[dot]net if you want it, I’ll forward to you. Hillarious!

Why crime is getting out of hand:

Why YOU apparently have to change YOUR lifestyle:

What Barisan YB’s can expect:

Polling Agents / Counting Agents Needed Badly

Once again from YB Eli, sounds like EC suddenly put a new deadline for PACAs, this Friday!!

It’s a tight race, and they’re trying their darndest to make it hard for us.

All our campaign work goes to naught if on polling day there isn’t anything to stop the counter from declaring every opposition vote a ‘barisan’ [...]

Overseas students: You Can Vote!!

Via YB Eli :
ELECTION 2008: One more day to register as postal voters
By Koh Lay Chin, NST

26 February, 2008

LONDON: Overseas students have until tomorrow to register as postal voters. Election Commission (EC) secretary Datuk Kamaruzaman Mohd Noor said those entitled to vote by post still had time to register, provided they were already on the [...]

Confirmed: KeADILan websites under attack

What they cannot control, they attempt to destroy.

But it won’t be so easy :)

Suara Keadilan was down for a while, but we successfully restored it.

One of our tech guys has documented DoS attacks, and we’re implementing our backup measures.

I guess the message of hope encapsulated in harapanmalaysia.com is a little too much for some to [...]

200 Umno Mat Rempits, One Lone Victim Kicked & Beaten Up

Malaysiakini:

A man has been hospitalised after he was assaulted by mat rempit (bike gangs) wearing BN T-shirts last Friday in Bandar Tun Razak, Cheras.

Mohd Sulutan Ali, 45, now warded at the Univeristy Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital (HUKM), was hit so hard on the head by a helmet that he was left with a serious blood clog [...]

Manifesto

KeADILan’s will be launched tomorrow :) I think you’ll like it :)

Been working all day on that, so can’t blog much.

Call me paranoid, but I detect a hint of threat in BN’s ‘Hanya Satu Pilihan’ and ‘Security, Peace…’

But the battleground is going to be your opinion – can we only choose mediocrity?

Or will we choose [...]

Day 1

Pretty poster eh? Pardon the link :)

So, some early casualties. I guess on the party side, there’s not much in the way of excuses for those who didn’t show up. We misplaced our trust.

Notable three corners: Lembah Pantai & Kelana Jaya.

In the latter case, sounds more like insurance. The BN candidate won his [...]

A New Dawn for Malaysia

Believe it or not, I choose that tagline for this blog when I switched themes eons ago, to reflect the lovely picture I found. The text just doesn’t show in this particular theme.

It’s now, coincidentally, KeADILan’s motto for the 12th General Election.

Me and my colleagues have been working for over 12 hrs straight without rest. [...]

AP Interview: Election chief says media bias will make Malaysia polls a laughingstock

That’s odd, albeit perfectly true. But still, it smacks of a lousy excuse. Like the whole Nazi “Just following orders” nonsense. If you believe in something, stand up for it – don’t be an accomplice to injustice.
