Altantuya case: Najib home free?

The only consolation is that I wouldn’t be surprised if Razak Baginda wasn’t all that guilty of murder to begin with (if that is so, then welcome home – it’s a great relief, I know). Thing is, I wouldn’t be surprised if those cops were almost as innocent.

I suppose with Razak acquitted, there’s even less [...]

Has Chief Justice Zaki failed first test?

So, there’s been a lot of brouhaha about ex-Umno lawyer Zaki Azmi’s ascension to the highest judicial post in the land.

Some time back, I heard some Pakatan higher-ups say that he’s a decent guy. His inaugural speech also appears to have been well received – people seem to think he said many of the right [...]

(The young girls touching letter has been scanned and is making its way around the internet. Will try to upload it soon).

I think this is a demonstration of great PR, unlike [...]

The YB J Forum – Streaming and Responses

The internet streaming of the YB J forum went pretty well I think – seems like it’s the first time they’ve fielded questions online, a great feature.

I wanted to thank YB Kit Siang for responding to my question. I continue to hold the man in respect, and have enjoyed his evolution post March ‘08.

I hope [...]

The Moral High Ground; and a Literary Response to Chamil Wariya’s YB J (Update: Live webcast of forum)

Update: Thanks to Lulu, I found that there’s a live webcast of the forum on this topic tonite! It’s nice to be able to watch, even if far away. Link: http://www.justin.tv/dapmalaysia.

Also: I like the idea of earmarking any winnings to charity and/or things like scholarships (maybe with a focus on Malay students? Now *that* would [...]
