Death sentence: Time for Sirul and Azilah to tell the truth? / Kugan still faces injustice!! (updated)

Updated: see Malik Imtiaz’s insightful comment re: motive and prosecution oddities. Thanks bro!

I agree with the majority who still raise the two most burning questions:

1. What was their motive?
2. Could they possibly have acted without instructions?

That two relatively low ranking policemen could decide not only to murder but to blow up a woman of their [...]

Forum: The Global Financial Crisis and Implications on Malaysia

Venue: Lecture Hall 3, Faculty of Business & Accountancy

Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur

2008 has seen the United States experience one of the worst [...]

Najib doesn’t care if MORE children die under NS

Video by Bert, via Tian

The man who would be PM:

In announcing the continuation of the programme, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the number of deaths was a small percentage compared to the 339,186 trainees who had benefited from the programme up to now.

For the parents of those who passed away due [...]

Extravagances: Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra

Mind you, classical music is great. But the figures are stunning:

Lim Guan Eng, revealed that the cost to maintain the musicians is a whopping RM3.5 million a month.

“As much as 95 percent of the foreign musicians are paid between RM16,000 and RM28,000 a month and given two months paid leave every year. The conductor is [...]

At this rate, we should boycott National Service

Latest NS victim, 18 yr old Too Hui Min.

I mean seriously, enough is enough.

One, two, three are all bad enough, and one/two/three too many. What are we up to now, 15 deaths?

You don’t have to be a statistician to extrapolate that at this rate, we can only expect more deaths if NS continues. [...]

Figures reveal advising PM = lucrative business

Malaysiakini:

According to Zulkifli Noordin (PKR-Kulim Bandar Baru), Mahathir – who is also the ex-premier – is being paid RM180,000 per year while Abdullah’s advisers Shahrizat Abdul Jalil (women and social development affairs) and Abdul Hamid Othman (religious) received RM404,726 and RM549,675 respectively.

The figures were revealed in two separate parliamentary written replies to Zulkifli from the [...]

One NS life lost, another two in danger due to ISA?

I read with great sadness about yet another National Service Trainee death :(

Like the last case, the boy contracted a fever, failed to be treated properly, and by the time he was admitted, it was too late. I guess Najib is too busy with other things to care about these sorts of clearly avoidable deaths [...]

PR PR, Makkal Osai, Altantuya, Azalina’s Theft, KeADILan Targeted

So many issues today, and haven’t done a “little points” style posting in a while. All about variety eh?

I have to say that Karpal Singh taking a swipe at the Kelantan royalty, while perhaps in some ways justified, is not the most strategically sound thing to do. In Singapore, I spoke a lot about the [...]

Thanks for sending this by, Padma!

Nervous, Defensive, Pre-Election BN Promises

BN is a monster with a lot of resources. I imagine even bad guys understand the importance of intelligence.

Thus, when you scrutinise the statements BN leaders are making these days, you can bet that they say what they say based on good research regarding what Malaysians are feeling.

Najib has been hitting out time and again [...]

Fully supporting the lawsuit by family of dead NS trainee

My only addition is that the family should sue Najib “Bloody Hands” Razak – 13 NS deaths, 74 Nuri deaths, and goodness knows what other unsolved mysterious deaths under the watch of this “Defence” Minister..

This latest one was because despite the hundreds of MILLIONS he could pay his cronies for commissions on fighter jets [...]

Umno Lawyer Appointed to Federal Court Directly – “National Service”

Re: The recent appointment of a lawyer directly to the Federal Court, there’s a NST headline: “Zaki: It’s national service.”

I really can’t help but think, TS Zaki Tun Azmi is lucky that his ‘national service’ doesn’t come with the risk of death. Mohd Rafi wasn’t so lucky.

There are also a lot more irregularities with [...]
