The Star blazing headlines “Get them!”

A high-powered task force will be set up immediately to scrutinise wrongdoings reported in the recently-released Auditor-General’s Report, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

This is to ensure that those involved in any misappropriation of funds or abuse of power would not “get away with it” but face the consequences.

All well [...]

Sorry been a bit lax lately, I’m still organising my thoughts on all that’s going on. In the meantime, here’s an excellent opportunity:

MACEE is pleased to announce the 2010 Global Undergraduate Exchange Program. The Global UGRAD program provides scholarships for one semester or one academic year of U.S. study in a non-degree program. This program [...]

In a nation still reeling from deaths at National Service camps, we are now faced with at least one 1Malaysia camp death :(

One student is dead while two remain missing after a new suspension bridge collapsed near Kuala Dipang in Perak.

The deceased is believed to be 11-year-old N Dina Deve from SJKT Mambang Diawan. She [...]

Interesting eh?

I’ll be the first to admit such online polls aren’t always the most accurate or what not, but still, I’d say that’s some indication (I mean, who goes to the KDN website anyway?)

I’m sure some people would like to blame Malaysians for being ‘uncivic’ or ‘unpatriotic,’ but if the cops are sincere, [...]

The e-mail below made the rounds some time back, and I got it through an e-mail list that often has the right ideas about Malaysia. I wanted to say though, how angry this particular thread made me.

Firstly, it smacks of a smear campaign against the university, although that is not my primary concern – [...]

I almost forgot, a friend of mine is doing a comedy show last weekend and this one, details below :)

I’ve not really blogged about the MCA business, but this really was too much. theSun story leads with “The MCA leadership crisis has been resolved.”

Really?

I guess so, if by resolved you mean “Umno came in, disregarded the democratic wishes of MCA members, wound the clock back and made everyone pretend nothing happened.”

For the crisis [...]

You can kill people and throw them off buildings in this country, but God forbid you should “bite” a cop.

Let’s start by some truly, truly incredulous statements from the judgment:

Batu MP and PKR strategic director Tian Chua was today fined RM3,000 and jailed six months after being found guilty of biting a police constable and [...]

This comes late, but some notes on Dr. Pornthip’s findings, testimony and background. I’ve quoted some highlights from the Malaysiakini report below.

I’m glad her expert testimony was introduced for the record, and I think it is likely we are one step closer to the truth.

There was also the mention of the possibility of a exhumation [...]

Just a mild hunch, but I’m getting a slight feeling things are afoot.

“30,000” for 1Malaysia in Ipoh, a surge of BM crusaders left and right, 50 percent broadband connectivity, green buildings, claims that Malaysians feel reallll safe on the streets, government acquiescence on EPF issues, and here’s my fave alarm bell ringer: anti-Anwar rumour mongering.

(with regards [...]

Well, I reckon 1Malaysia is flawed in implementation and sincerity, but perhaps not in concept.

Nonetheless, I thought this was pretty funny:

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak launched his highly-publicised “1 Malaysia” concept before a crowd of at least 30,000 at the Perak Stadium here last night.

But according to some spectators, they had been bused in [...]

As someone nicely pointed out, I wrote October 14th, when it should have been October 19th. Sorry!
