Bota, and a pressured Najib – what ‘interesting’ options should BN elected reps be considering?

Sorry for the holiday absence, hope your new year has been great! More on Kugan, race and criminality to come I hope, but for now some words on mainstream politics.

Imagine for a moment, that you were a BN elected representative. You’ve perhaps been a loyal servant to the party, well-behaved and such, but not [...]

GXFC!

It took me a while to find the cute image I wanted (i’ve now downloaded the entire set, for future use :), consistent with last year’s (such a different time though…… I can’t wish all the people I wish I could, save through here).

Anyways, to friends – new, old, faraway, and to come – have [...]

A. Kugan: Horrifying pictures depict latest victim of police brutality/murder?

The Star:

Kugan, who was detained on Jan 15 on suspicion of being involved in stealing luxury cars in Sungai Chua, Kajang, and was brought to the Taipan police station on Tuesday where he suddenly collapsed and died while being questioned.

He had asked for a glass of water and threw up after drinking, then collapsed. The [...]

PJ Anti-ISA Vigil Participants to be charged in PJ Majistrate’s Court, 23/1/09, 9am – Show support!

Remember when the police charged into a peaceful, Negaraku-singing crowd? When Tony Pua and others got beaten and arrested?

Instead of police being investigated for brutality, the peaceful gatherers are going to be charged in court tomorrow. I’m planning to be there to show support, and hope you’ll be able to make it too!

The arrestees were [...]

Najib’s fault? Abdullah’s fault? Looking ahead to March

There’s an orgy of blame out there.

Pro-Najib gang = KT’s defeat is all because of Abdullah (and his dumb candidate), no reflection whatsoever of the rakyat’s confidence in him

Anti-Najib gang = KT’s defeat is all because of Najib.

You know what the funny thing is? Can you imagine what would have happened if BN won KT? [...]

Cops arrogantly break up PJ vigil again

I talked to one of the (kind) PJ councillors, and he described the sequence vis a vis the permit as something like:

- first five weeks applied and got
- next three weeks applied, denied, but uninterrupted
- decided not to bother to apply, then interruptions soon thereafter

Word is that they might try to pursue a court action, [...]

KT: The Morning After

Firstly, hearty congrats and thanks once again to all those who worked so hard for the victory.

Let’s try to put our analytical hats back on.

One of the many beauties of numbers = they can mean anything.

I don’t think we have the data collecting capability to really determine what any single factor caused the election results [...]

You should really check out LittleSis.org, a site that tracks the networks that connect some of the America’s most prominent (and often sketchy) individuals.

It’s like a brilliant cross between Wikipedia and Facebook, where people can add info about how the movers and shakers are all connected – politicians, business tycoons, etc etc. (Big Brother, Little [...]

Umno Website (LOL!), and cops involved in Prabakar’s ill-treatment charged

Hehe, I learnt about Umno’s website being deemed a security threat via an e-mail. I’m not really sure what it’s all about, but my Firefox (tho not IE sadly) prevents the site from showing, saying:

This web site at www.irc-malaysia.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack [...]

X-Files: Justice for Solomon, Prabakar, Altantuya, and Sujatha

I wanted to quickly highlight a few developments of late.

17 yr old C Solomon was arrested at the same time as B Prabakar, on the 23rd of December. The police allegedly scalded Prabakar with boiling hot water, in addition to other torture while in police detention:

His colleague Solomon may have faced the same [...]
