So, the latest: We’ve gotten confirmations that the books are being held for ‘investigations’ to see if they may cause some breach of the peace :| Yeah, I know :P While this is going on, it is still perfectly legal to buy and sell the books. There are three ways you can currently help support the [...] I attended a press conference with Kugan’s family and their lawyers this morning, and since there were so few press, I felt I should report a little on the proceedings. By way of quick background, the family had some time ago successfully filed for a court order directing the police to return the samples taken from [...] A quick word on the UM students who are/were staging a sit-in in the school’s administrative building, in protest of the newly introduced e-voting system. Reminds me of an incident from my uni days (the guy in the picture was a housemate of mine, I’m proud to say). There’s long been a need for cleaner [...] Hi all – some have kindly asked about where they might be able to pick up copies of the confiscated books. They have not technically been banned yet, so they should be available online via Kinibooks, and in major bookstores in the Klang Valley (Popular, MPH, Borders, etc). We may think about other avenues for distribution as [...]
Malaysiakini: The authorities have confiscated two books published by Kinibooks, a subsidiary of Malaysiakini, in separate operations conducted in Malacca and Penang. The books – ’1FunnyMalaysia’ and ‘Where is Justice?’ – were seized from Popular Book in Melaka Shopping Centre, Malacca today, while an earlier operation was conducted at another branch of the bookstore in [...] Our friends at The Star seem to be having quite a field day with Zul Nordin – yesterday it was “PKR tensions” or something, and today “Defiant Zul.” Notwithstanding that a gag order has already been imposed on the Kulim MP pending a decision by PKR’s disciplinary board, it seems The Star is flailing desperately at [...] I condemn in no uncertain terms this ridiculous throwing of pig’s heads into mosques. Good to see YBs Hee and Nurul Izzah quick on the scene. Whether this is the work of a conspiracy playing both sides (entirely possible) or truly the result of animosity, I hope the perpetrators know this: Malaysians will not fall [...] TMI: Universities must embrace new ways of exploring the potential of the best ideas and research, especially through collaborative efforts with the private and public sectors, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. On innovation and creativity, he said a developed society must exhibit not just technological achievements, but more importantly reflect the capacity to [...] This post comes a bit late, but around 10.30pm Saturday night, after dinner following the SABM forum, I stopped by my old ‘stomping grounds’ at the Dang Wangi police station. There I met friends and rakan seperjuangan of the 9 people who were arrested that morning during a march to uphold democracy at Malaysian universities. They [...] Imagine a Malaysian movie made entirely from YOUR stories! A good friend of mine, Manesh Nesaratnam is doing exactly that: Your Grandfather’s Road is about turning YOUR stories, experiences and ideas into a movie BY the people, FOR the people. We believe that life is infinitely more interesting than the imaginations of writers sitting in the insulated cubicles [...]
Almost forgot, this is roughly the anniversary of Kugan’s death :( Spare a thought for all those who died in custody. |
Help resist the clampdown on the truth! |
