In all seriousness, I never thought they’d actually do it :P

It really means only one of two things:

a) Umno was wrong in its earlier conviction of Isa for money politics – ie, he was unjustly victimised as part of an malicious political ploy.

b) In Umno, criminals and bribery are truly loved.

Najib can’t have [...]

Bernama:

Telecommunications company U Mobile chairman Datuk Rosman Ridzuan, who is the husband of actress Noniswara Baharudin, was fined RM700 by the Magistrate’s Court here Monday after he pleaded guilty to having assaulted his ex-wife, Azura Ibrahim, four years ago.

That’s it?! RM 700 and you can beat your wife as you please?! >:(

Dude. That ain’t [...]

There are no less than 5 articles on MIC and the Makkal Sakhti Party this morning on Malaysiakini – a large part of the interest garnered by how Najib himself is set to launch the party.

I suppose Ben Suffian is closest to the money:

“Perhaps this strategy is meant to stem the flow of Indian votes [...]

A good trip, and good to be back.. :)

Now, on this Hassan Ali controversy.

I will admit this much: it’s probably no fun to be on the receiving end of the caustic wit of people like Azmin Ali and such; also, civil servants are not as much to blame as the BN politicians who have made [...]

Am still outstation due to a bit of a mix-up, but I really wanted to give a quick point to a nice post about an old friend, YB Chang Lih Kang on Sendiri Mau Ingat Lah :) I think it’s a great example of the wonderful spirit of Raya and I can’t say how proud [...]

Maaf zahir dan batin to all readers (especially for slacking a bit w/the blogging! (Been a busy time, and so much on mind, sigh..)

I’m attending my high school best friend’s wedding outstation soon, and will be back in KL Wednesday or thereabouts.

Do drive safe, and have a truly wonderful holiday! :)

This Isa Samad business is so funny. After disbarred lawyers, they’re looking at fielding individuals found guilty *by Umno itself* (now there’s a yardstick :P ) of money politics and vote buying. Sigh.

The best part is, sounds like if they *don’t* field Isa Samad, they’ll piss a whole bunch of Umno people off.

A whole bunch [...]

Nice picture, front page story and all eh? People finally getting their citizenship.

I think that’s all well and good, but has nobody at all stopped to ask: Why on earth did it take so long in the first place??

Instead of glorifying the same government who let this happen for decades, shouldn’t we be [...]

This Malaysia day, my thoughts are with the Penan women crisis…

I don’t think I can make the Anak Bangsa Malaysia Launch, though I dearly want to (work), but all the best!

Happy Malaysia Day.. :)

I just wanted to share the joy of Kak Laila, who I understand will soon be welcoming her long-time ISA detainee husband home :)

Details to come :)

I feel it’s been a slightly slow news day, so just a few words on the first Malay-majority DAP branch in Selangor under Teresa Kok’s Puchong constituency.

Predictably, I see this as a wonderful thing. Cross fertilisation is ever so important, and I think steps like this will go a ways in alleviating some of the [...]

Couldn’t resist a quick snipe:

In Malaysia’s parliamentary democratic system, it is the power of the people that will determine Barisan Nasional’s (BN) continuity in government, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Ah, empty rhetoric, thy name is Najib.

I think history and the refusal to call for elections in Perak have shown time and again that [...]
