I’m unfortunately too far away to write too many intelligent things, but I note with some amusement TDM’s “No, I’m not racist what, where got” post. The thing I found twistedly funny about it is his use of the ‘i’m not racist, hindraf is racist – those indians, i tell you’ line, which too my overly [...] I read polytikus’ Malaysiakini article about Tajuddin Abdul Rahman and Zaid Ibrahim with interest. I have to say the rivalry between the two men are in fact of little interest; it is, however, an interesting microcosm. To me, the manner in which backbenchers appeared quick to back Tajuddin in his tirade about how backbenchers reserve the right [...] I’m deeply angered by the continuing BMC violence, and by what happened to Chang Jiun Haur:
I hate police brutality so much, and can’t seem to find anything ‘rational’ to say about it. I will note with great suspicion this passage tho: A high-ranking police officer at the scene claimed that Chang had run over [...] I was disturbed no end to read that the Executive Director of Grand Saga is none other than a former Dang Wangi police chief (incidentally a station I know about than I wish I did). I’ve experienced enough to know that networks between former and present cops run pretty deep, and strongly suspect a person like [...] updated: Thanks for responses all; I wanted to note that I do not under any circumstances whatsoever, support the use of ISA against anyone, incl TDM. Those who object to the ISA usually do so on basis of principle, not on basis of who is victimised. Malaysiakini: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has warned of possible unrest in [...] i’m travelling in the US for about 2-3 weeks (sister’s graduation & college reunion – found out Obama is speaking at former, fun :P ), and i miss polytikus immensely. i humbly ask that common friends help watch over the most precious thing in the world to me.. i might write occasionally, depending on internet access. [...] Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for Sarawak Agriculture Assistant Minister Dublin Unting Ingkot. I’ve never really met Ezam. I thought about this for a while, and concluded that there is no need to analyse his recent apparent decision from his standpoint. That would be an undeserved waste of resources. Combined with news about Mukhriz, Zaid, and everything else, it did however get me thinking. As John said, it is probably [...] As if the decision of the entire sitting leadership to stay put wasn’t enough, Mukhriz bin Mahathir has decided not to heed the clarion call. A knife in the back, almost. I think all is said and done; Mahathir will continue his attacks on Abdullah, but he has gambled his political capital, and lost it in [...] I wanted to state my categorical objection to any threats to visit violence on any individual, in light of the bullets sent to Karpal Singh. Whatever his or her political beliefs and strategies, no one deserves to be threatened with violence. Those who would do so are but animals. I take comfort in the fact that YB [...] As polytikus wryly observed, the signature of TDM’s resignation blog post: Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad (bekas ahli UMNO No 1) making Sanusi Junid bekas ahli Umno No 3. Ok. And number 4?……….. Yes, too early to tell, but the first 24 hours do not bode well for our friend. No [...] |
