MK:

Soon after becoming prime minister, Najib Abdul Razak had dropped by a popular Indian eatery in Brickfields for teh tarik and thosai.

Accompanied by a large entourage, including Federal Territories Deputy Minister M Saravanan, and a bevy of police vehicles, the premier brought traffic to a standstill when he decided to have a quick bite at [...]

:( I don’t know anything about this case personally, but found Anil’s post a compelling read – have a look.

:)

I’m still on the road, and strangely, the blog admin seems harder to access from overseas :P

Can’t write much, but I wanted to point to Guan Sin’s hillarious post, which also gives you the ability to download and peruse the PKFZ report in full. Comments of experts are welcome, I’m probably not in a position [...]

I’ll be on the road for a little while, so apologies for slow updates!

warmly,

Exciting huh? :) I managed to catch the premier of Gadoh last night, and it was a pretty excellent movie :)

It’s basically an exploration of grassroots racism in Malaysia amongst youth.

The treatment was quite true to home, and explored most of the racial stereotypes that pervade Malay-Chinese conflict, and had a good friend [...]

Behold Perak! You are to be led by Mahatma Mandela himself. Something tells me the appeal process via the Federal Court will be neither quick nor satisfactory.

I was told that in the High Court, judges for a particular case cannot be picked – it’s whoever is free at the time. A Court of Appeal [...]

First of all, Al-Fatihah to Ismail Yaacob, Kelantan ADUN :( Takziah kepada keluarga…

Secondly, Jenice Lee’s two day remand is horrifying. Maybe more on that later.

Right now, I wanted to note that Muhyiddin could probably win an award for stupidest idea ever. The Star:

Students sitting for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination may not be allowed [...]

Predictably, I don’t read the Star all that often. Luckily, chair of the Bar Council’s Human Rights Committee Mr. Andrew Khoo keeps a better watch, and has done an excellent job in tearing apart the xenophobic, discriminatory remarks made by my best fren Wong Chun Wai.

I’ll admit I noticed he wrote a piece or two [...]

Update: Well, glad to see they’re soldiering on.. :)

In case you missed the video earlier:

So what is up with all this nonsense? So many strange aspects to this case.

Let’s start with this: what was the OCPD himself, the top cop of Brickfields, doing at a candelight vigil and signature gathering campaign attended by a [...]

The government’s war against peaceful citizens continues. It looks like any gathering concerning Perak must be quashed like a bug by the full force of the law.

Was it some massive gathering with thousands of people?

Try a dozen.

The police tonight arrested more elected representatives – an opposition parliamentarian as well as a state assemblyperson – at [...]

The weekend before last, I had the pleasure of stopping by Arts for Grabs at the Central Market Annexe, where I caught Marion D’Cruz’s excellent Gostan Forward – a wonderful reminder of an eminently rich tradition of art and dance that is alive and well in Malaysia.

I also had the pleasure of checking [...]
