Eid Mubarak :)

Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

Saturday’s Peace Walk

A late report on the ISA walk on Saturday night.

It was really quite a sight, I haven’t seen that many people on the move in quite a long time – very stirring.

All the usual reservations about an ethnic based movement remain, and I confess I got pretty uncomfortable when we passed Masjid Jamek, as it [...]

Teresa’s Bombing :( Defining moments, Time to fight hate with love

Such a terrible incident :(

I’m sure many people are fuming mad over this, and they have every right to be. No human being should be subject to such vicious attacks.

I am still smelling great mischief at work. The last thing we should do is cower in fear of placate violence, but, I have always believed [...]

The Revolving Door of Refugees

Tenaganita is launching a book tomorrow (Saturday, 27/9, 5pm Mandarin Court Hotel) which tells the tale of how refugees are exploited through and through in Malaysia – coming in, living in Malaysia, and going out.

I used to work with an NGO that assists refugees, so its a matter still close to the heart.

The [...]

ISA Activities this weekend – stand with our brothers & sisters

There are a few events going on this weekend, another opportunity to show that we care, and will not stand for our fellow Malaysians to rot in detention without trial.

Come if you can, and if you can’t, there’s still so much you can do!

I copy and paste from Shar101:

A) Kuala Lumpur -

Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) [...]

Coal Powered Plants in Sandakan?

An article on Sabah and the environment. This gentleman took all the trouble to write it and send it, so the least I can do is reproduce it.

Also, eventful Umno meeting tomorrow eh?

A letter from Sandakan.

From KL to Sandakan on Air-Asia is a fast 2 plus hours and one is
ready to enjoy friendly hospitality, fresh-seafood [...]

Anti-ISA Hairstyle for me

Big deal?

No, behind held in prison without knowing if you’ll ever get out, or IF you’ll ever get out is a big deal.

Inspired by Guan Sin.

Take a stand!

Act NOW against the ISA: Fly flag, Drive with lights on, Go bald

Enough!

I have waited days and weeks for some more ‘prominent’ person or group to embark on some sort of mass action. After little word from politicians, NGOs, etc, I think its time we took matters into our own hands, and lead the way.

Lately I’ve been having the feeling that the opportunity is slipping; that we [...]

RPK to Kamunting

It’s been a tough day for blogging and the blogosphere.

Our spirits are not dampened, but echoing Eli, this is probably a first for the world.

I won’t write long for now. Thoughts still forming, esp re: mass action and all.

Maybe we should also pay attention to some of the causes RPK cared a [...]

RPK, Namewee, Cops, Najib

Firstly, Haris tells us that RPK’s habeus corpus hearing has been brought forward: 23rd September, at 9am at the High Court, Criminal Court 2, Kuala Lumpur Court Complex, Jalan Duta.

These type of hearings for ISA detainees traditionally end badly for the detainee, but it’s at least another opportunity to show solidarity.

In another disturbing development, Namewee [...]

Sheih Released!

Update: Malaysiakini reports that Sheih has finally been released – I’m really happy :)

Update 2pm: The press conference is scheduled for today, Saturday, at 5.30pm. Friends and members of the press are welcome to contact me at nat[at]jelas.info for the address :)

His family has been informed to prepare bail, which indicates a high likelihood that [...]

Update on Sheih

Sheih has been remanded until 5pm tomorrow (Saturday). The good news is that in this particular case, he can be remanded no further, and the cops will have to charge him if they want to keep him any longer.

His lawyer confirmed that Sheih’s arrest was indeed due to his campaign to fly the flag [...]
