We’ve had a wonderful launch last month with the screening of two short films and a presentation about [...]

Where is Justice: Help maintain freedom of information!

Alas, am still a bit in CNY state – lots of things happening. Want to write about developments in the Kugan and TBH cases, but haven’t even finished the blog design yet :(

I must say though, I was happy to hear that Teoh’s son was born, and that both mother and child are well :) [...]

Will we cane Muslims who have illicit sex with Mongolians?

So, one has to ask, are these 3 women the only Muslims having illicit sex in Malaysia?

I hope you will forgive me if I sidestep the question of whether such caning is just, or defensible under Islamic law, etc. For today, let me restrict myself to questions of fairness, consistency and justice.

I have [...]

Illegitimate confiscation of books and suppression of info continues

ps- Still working on blog design, sorry. Also, everyone seems to be talking about the caning – more on that later, if I can gather some thoughts.

I stopped by two big chain bookstores, one in Bangsar and the other in PJ. The first had no stock apparently, and the second reported that the Home Ministry [...]

Keong Hee Huat Chai

What I really feel like saying this CNY: Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

Hope all of you have a good year ahead.

ps- this may be the last post on this faithful layout/theme, in use for quite a few years. thank you for serving so well, theme.. :)

Our video: Gov’t should clean up act, not shoot the messenger. Justice denied for P Babu & publishers

Thanks to MK and MKTV for carrying the press conference we had today on the seizues of Where is Justice and 1FunnyMalaysia. Here’s the video:

Some other facts: I was told that in Johor, authorities have been going round to some book vendors – not even seizing books but just giving the vendors a hard time [...]

Zahrain – “agama, bangsa, & negara” & the RM2 company

If he had become a BN friendly independent, I think we really would have shown no mercy.

That said, one cannot help but notice a few facts about this resignation.

I think the one that jumped out at me the most:

He said, “Pakatan will not last long. It is people like Lim Guan Eng [...]

Your Grandfather’s Road – on TMI and PopTeeVee

Two more quick things on Your Grandfather’s Road :)

1. My latest article in TMI

2. Manesh’s interview on PopTeeVee :)

Justice prevails for land scam victim! And for Norizan?

Remember this guy?

I wrote some time back on how this elderly, very humble living gentleman had RM 17 million worth in land stolen from him.

This morning, I accompanied my friend (the gentleman’s grandnephew) to the Shah Alam High Court, where we received wonderful news – the land has been returned to its rightful owner! Justice [...]

Unnarmed innocent woman shot 5 times by cops, then kicked repeatedly while crawling out of car. Memo to Suhakam tomorrow.

ps- There is a gathering tomorrow, Thursday 11th Feb, at SUHAKAM (Menara Tun Razak) at 11am, to present a memorandum on this case. Show some support if you can.

I have been meaning to write about the Norizan case for some time now. Of the material and coverage I’ve come across, the best narrative appears [...]

More books seized in KL – Where is Justice and 1FunnyMalaysia

As if the Perak news wasn’t bad (albeit expected) enough, now this – closer to home this time.

My distributor says the bookshop is now taking the books of the shelves, but selling upon request – so if you don’t see it on the shelves at a given bookstore, do ask at the counter.

We are in [...]
