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 [...] 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 [...] So Najib now wants to ‘liberalise’ the NEP, and MCA/MIC go whoopdedoo. I remember Tian once talking about BN’s adapatability post near-death situations. I think historically, they have shown themselves to be mildly able to evolve in the aftermath of crises. Certainly, this has not much been the case since March, where we have seen a startling [...] Selamat Hari Deepavali to one and all! :) (Tamil greeting stolen from Mahendran :) Malaysiakini reports of a visit by Husam Musa and Salahudin Ayob to the 10 individuals detained when attempting to deliver a letter to the PM. (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 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 [...] 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 [...]
I was pretty angry to read about the arrest of the delegation to the PM’s office earlier today. The arrest of a group that included an 11 year old child is infruriating enough. Once again, the simple question was: were these guys doing anything rowdy? Illegal? Threatening national security? All they wanted to do was give [...] Berikut adalah sebuah karya fiksyen yang berasaskan cerpen hasil Datuk Chamil Wariya yang bertajuk “Politik Baru YB J.” Ia merupakaan ciptaan sastera semata-mata yang tidak berhasrat menyinggung mana-mana pihak. Datuk Chariya Wamil di dalam perjalanan ke sebuah acara makan malam. Beliau dipandu oleh pemandunya, Ali, dan akan menjemput YB L, seorang politikus pembangkang, untuk pergi [...] Let’s take a look at some Malaysiakini headlines: ‘Arrest Khairy under ISA’ (here I concur with Pak Bakaq) Gerakan disagrees with Hindraf ban Poof! There goes judicial reform Sungai Siput MP’s car torched Proposal needs further study, says Hishammuddin Police extend blogger’s bail Liow: Review social contract from time to time MCA wants second deputy BN chief’s post PM: Let Tan explain bumiputera remarks Pakatan [...] Membujur lalu, melintang patah! In tai chi, when your opponent pushes, you pull; when he pulls, you push. An opponent’s strength is used against him, and often, victory is merely a matter of where to stand. Back in the early days of Hindraf, I wrote at length of how with just a few small changes, Uthayakumar [...] Mischief brews. More so than trouble. In this atmosphere, I recall a few things. Countries like America have been accused of having a military-industrial complex. Put simply, war is extremely good for business. It is so multi-trillian dollar good that when so much money is put into creating a gargantuan war machine, people start to look pretty [...] |
