I note what might be an interesting trend. In both Suhakam and ACA (soon to be ‘MCAC’), we see staff members – who I believe are technically civil servants, as opposed to their appointed bosses – starting to find a braver voice in stating their vision for the future directions of their respective institutions, and [...]

I thought about the appropriateness of writing more at this time, but then reread this paragraph: Even to his final day, Rustam wrote from morning to dusk, said his son Azrani. “From the time he wakes up, he would start writing. He was very dedicated to the importance of ideas and the need to raise social conciousness.” And [...] Al-Fatihah. Many of us are shocked, many more saddened. You can read about the man and his life on Malaysiakini or Suara Keadilan. My life is richer for the little time that I spent with Pak Rustam, a man full of warmth and generosity of spirit. I can only hope that when I reach his age, I show [...] In less than a week, Abdullah has implemented two core recommendations on the judiciary and the ACA from KeADILan’s 2008 Manifesto. I quote recommendations number 6 and 7 from the section “Part I – A Constitutional State for All: Upholding Unity, Integrity & Human Rights” below - KeADILan’s vision for a Constitutional State will: 1-5… 6. Institute [...] I confess, I don’t know much about the man, but a former Gerakan-affiliated political analyst once oozed compliments about the man to me, so I suppose his reputation is fairly sound. This appointment also is occasion to make a few comments about some BN ‘good guys.’ All in all, I’m sincerely glad about the appointment, although [...] Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of disgust. I half wish I could bother to list down all the deeply.. I would call them inhumane, comments this man has made. Technically, he is the leader of people like Tengku Razaleigh, Ong Ka Ting, and the like. To me this is like appointing Zaid/Shahrir to [...] Credit where credit is due – well done to whoever secured ISA detainee K. Vasantha Kumar’s visit to his ailing daughter. I’m very happy he got to see her, and can only hope that her health will improve, and we see before too long an end to all ISA detentions. There are reports that Uthayakumar’s health [...] Outstation until Sunday, wrote many posts to compensate – see you soon! Two major comments on the PM’s speech tonight: Firstly, the monetary payments to the families of the sacked judges. What the hell does Abdullah think this is, Umno? One does not restore honour via crude payoffs, one restores honour by admitting mistakes, apologising and restoring the dignity [...] Just wanted to say thanks to all the kind people who wrote about our short little visit. The most comprehensive is probably Ms. Selene Cheng, followed by the ever affable Alex Au, and the SDP :) Those interested in Singapore might also want to take a look at theonlinecitizen.com, which is a little Singapore Today [...] The Star: Though less than a month old, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam’s blog has come under attack from hackers. He confirmed that mohdalirustam.blogspot.com encountered some technical problems yesterday and was temporarily inaccessible. “There have been many people disturbing my blog including hacking it but never mind, let them do so,” he said. Sigh, if you don’t [...] Syed Hamid Albar and the Makkal Osai incident: Home Affairs Minister Syed Hamid Albar today said he decided to stop leading Tamil-language daily newspaper Makkal Osai from being published because it had violated guidelines threatening racial harmony. Makkal Osai‘s general manager SM Periasamy yesterday said the daily received a letter from the home ministry refusing to [...] I read with great sadness about yet another National Service Trainee death :( Like the last case, the boy contracted a fever, failed to be treated properly, and by the time he was admitted, it was too late. I guess Najib is too busy with other things to care about these sorts of clearly avoidable deaths [...] |
