At midnight, I went out to a balcony by myself and started watching the fireworks alone, a little lost in memory.. fireworks have recently acquired that effect. I could hear Negaraku coming from the Curve or thereabouts, and stepping out into Malaysia’s humid night brought home the sensation of being back after travelling a fair bit [...] A survey of the political landscape ahead is timely. The combined momentum of Permatang Pauh and the steady one-upmanship Pakatan has enjoyed in recent months make the prospects of a new government an increasingly compelling possibility. If in March, parliamentarians considering crossing from BN to Pakatan were concerned that they would jump and find no one [...] My internet at home been down for a few days now, which is a terrible time to catch a cough. (Big thanks to my homies at ACTS who provided free medical care! :D ) So, a 1000 apologies for a shortcut, but this KeADILan statement pretty much sums up my feeling on the matter: Government should keep [...] I guess it’s anyone’s guess whether the numbers will be there come September 16. Obviously, no one will consider my view particularly objective :) But I get this feeling that the momentum is really building – a) the momentum for change, b) the momentum at which BN is crumbling. I’m trying to see it from the perspective [...] :D Tomorrow, it’s back to work (finally started writing the longer piece long in mind :) A great big hug to all those who worked on the Permatang Pauh campaign – thank you for carrying the nation’s burden, our burden, and my burden – on your back. Woo hoo! Back in March, on the eve of the election, it seemed like there was so much to write. Many things have changed in these 5 months, and some things have not (like BN). On the eve of Permatang Pauh, an event we hope will be yet another pivotal step towards a better Malaysia, I must admit [...] Firstly, thanks to all those who presented and listened last Saturday afternoon – good meeting everyone :) Apart perhaps from Ramlang Poringi (yes, yet another twisted – but I suppose positive – twist, from the imam who witnessed Saiful’s sumpah), I feel like there may not be that much to write until we see the numbers [...] My overall view is that BN seems stuck in old tactics and thinking. I’m not saying this as an anti-BN activist, be one though I may. Rather it is a tactical view based on recent observations. Currently still stewing over more extensive thoughts on the matter. For today, just some dinky comments by a Gerakan VP, one [...] On Abdullah’s tirade against upside down flag displayers: Apart from the fact that this is the latest of a deplorable salvo against bloggers, a few words on the flag controversy. If taken within context, this action makes some sense; that context being that it is a genuine practice of ships to fly an upside down flag to [...] Just wanted to note the passing of Nurin, one year later. I wish her killers had been caught :( No inconsistency in position: If guilty, they should be punished to full extent of the law. That said, I thought I’d point to some gossip. I’m afraid that’s all it is at the moment, I have no way of verifying the contents, but it does seem interesting. Does anyone have any insight or way to ascertain [...] I’ll be speaking briefly at a little panel on tertiary education in America this weekend. Drop by if you want to study in America, if you already are, if you’re interested for whatever reason, and most of all: to say hello :D Date: Saturday, August 23, 2008 |
Help resist the clampdown on the truth! |
