Statement by Dr. Nur Manuty of PKR on cow head issue demonstrates beauty, wholesomeness, and far-sightedness of Islam

To be quite frank, I didn’t know we had a Biro Pemahaman dan Pemantapan Agama :) The gentleman who heads it seems quite accomplished, however and I’m proud to have him :)

Dr. Nur Manuty quotes Surah Al-An’am: 108, which I mentioned briefly in the post below. I am certainly no scholar of Islam, but [...]

The Cow Head Trap

ps- a word of appreciation to sdr/i Muslimin dan Muslimat who have been posting up Surah Al-An’am : 108 on Facebook. Dengan kawan sebegini, selamatlah Malaysia.

It’s very disturbing news.

I won’t write long on this now, but I’m inclined to agree with those who counsel caution and restraint in our indignance at this matter [...]

Strange death in Kuala Kangsar police quarters

pre-script: I’m having problems with my phone, so apologies to anyone trying to SMS or call :(

I’m not one to jump to premature conclusions, but it sure looks like a police station simply ain’t a particularly safe place for a Malaysian to be. What was this woman doing at the police quarters anyway? Well, [...]

Chua Soi Lek sexpelled; is party image damaged by sexploits, or decades of being an Umno lapdog?

I don’t follow MCA politics closely. Not so much because it’s generally boring (oh, and it is), but because I find it largely irrelevant.

Seeing that I’m up at this hour though, it’s a good a subject as any to blog about. One of my favourite parts of Chua Soi Lek’s sacking:

At a press conference at [...]

The (wear) 1BlackMerdeka Campaign

Merdeka is coming up – a good time to reflect on “independence” –

Terima Kasih Permatang Pasir!! :)

Belated congratulations to the newly minted YB Haji Mohd. Salleh :)

I’m quite happy with the results. 900 loss of majority ain’t great, but people do swing back and forth a bit. Given that there are over 20,000 voters, and that Pakatan got almost twice the amount of votes BN did, I’d say we did ok.

Congratulations [...]

The saga of Yusri (the next Bala!) – Najib and his men “getting” to whistleblowers and YB’s one by one?

When the Rohaizat disbarring scandal broke out, my mind was still on the forum. Of late though, this ridiculous about turn by his ex-partner Yusri Isahak deserves some scrutiny.

Did somebody say Bala? :P

I feel like we’re in some movie where aliens are taking over human bodies all over the world, and you only have a [...]

Radzhi: The BN bloodthirsty crossover onslaught continues

Let me start by admitting, it’s embarrassing having all these PKR representatives being such sell-outs. We aren’t the only ones, but each one is a shame.

I do remember though, what it was like in those days nearing the election. How hard it was to find good people to run. How no less than 3 of [...]

Salam Ramadhan; Mengingati mereka yang ditahan tanpa bicara, menyambut bulan suci dikurung mangga besi

Salam Ramadhan kepada semua. Semoga bulan suci ini penuh bermakna.

Terbaca tadi, kisah mereka yang kini menyambut Ramadhan kali untuk tahun ke lapan dikurung di belakang mangga besi, ditahan tanpa bicara.

Semoga tahun ini tahun terakhir semua tahanan tanpa bicara diseksa begini, insyallah!

Teoh Beng Hock Mystery Letter: Who is Hishamuddin Hashim?

pre-script: I have no idea who torched the MACC premises in Klang, but whoever did it was evil and clearly misguided. Violence is never the answer!

Goodness. Pretty explosive stuff.

So, caveats: I don’t know how authentic the letter is, and I generally put less faith in unsigned documents.

So the rest of this post proceeds with [...]

Empower for the Planet: MyCJN-Wild Asia Young Environmental Leaders Symposium, 28-30 August

Perhaps one more quick plug before we go back to regular programming. A small group of dedicated individuals are putting this initiative together. I concur as to its importance – what’s the good of everything we’re fighting for if the world around us literally collapses? Hope you’ll check it out!

I am but one person – [...]

Merdeka Review: BM Edition

Catching up on old promises: I said I’d plug Merdeka Review’s BM edition, and here it is! Looks pretty spiffy :)

Give Vui Kong a 2nd Chance Please

Help resist the clampdown on the truth!
