The trend of who is prosecuted and who is not continues to be infruriating. After Khalid vs Khir, latest to escape is those involved in the Lingam tape scandal. Of four involved, the MACC decided “No Further Action” for one individual, the AG’s chambers decided the same for another two. Something tells me that the last [...] No inconsistency in position: If guilty, they should be punished to full extent of the law. That said, I thought I’d point to some gossip. I’m afraid that’s all it is at the moment, I have no way of verifying the contents, but it does seem interesting. Does anyone have any insight or way to ascertain [...] Two quick points. I’m as disturbed as anyone else regarding the latest allegations against two Perak state exco members. Seems like quite a scandal, what with sexual bribery and all. Although I am suspicious of the timing and the speed at which action was taken after a report (as compared to other cases), I will wait [...] I was disturbed no end to read that the Executive Director of Grand Saga is none other than a former Dang Wangi police chief (incidentally a station I know about than I wish I did). I’ve experienced enough to know that networks between former and present cops run pretty deep, and strongly suspect a person like [...] Madam Chui’s invitation to a debate is a fair one, and I hope we can see the truth come out. I’m not sure how a ‘debate’ is all that helpful though – this is not a policy or philosophical issue requiring great intellectual surgery; what we need are facts and proof. I certainly look forward to [...] Malaysiakini’s Q/A with Khir Toyo: So what is the problem? Why is it that the party top leadership did not get the right information? It was impossible for Umno to predict the election outcome. You managed to identify eight hot seats in Selangor and MCA disagreed with you. Perhaps the reports given to the leadership came [...] I note what might be an interesting trend. In both Suhakam and ACA (soon to be ‘MCAC’), we see staff members – who I believe are technically civil servants, as opposed to their appointed bosses – starting to find a braver voice in stating their vision for the future directions of their respective institutions, and [...] 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 [...] That’s odd, albeit perfectly true. But still, it smacks of a lousy excuse. Like the whole Nazi “Just following orders” nonsense. If you believe in something, stand up for it – don’t be an accomplice to injustice. IHT via The Malaysian: KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: The Election Commission in Malaysia needs more power to prevent one-sided campaign coverage [...]
theSun: PENANG: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi assured Malaysians yesterday that the economy is strong and growing well, despite claims from certain quarters to the contrary. “We are doing well but there are still people who say that our economy is bad,” he said at a dialogue with members of the Chinese [...] Thanks for sending this by, Padma! The Star’s headline today: BN big guns roll into Penang to hand out goodies Plausible explanations? 1. The Star is actually helping the Opposition How else can you explain such shameless phrases like “roll into Penang” and “hand [...] |
Help resist the clampdown on the truth! |
