It’s not because I really like rallies.
I find them too hot or too wet, hell to get to, and liable to get me arrested.
Been there, done that, wasn’t fun at all.
I’ve been reading a lot about the spectrum of responses towards Hindraf, and it’s been really engaging.
I’ve searched my soul, and I now know what [...]
Good news: Malaysiakini video speaks a 1000 words! Check it out, it’s far better than my big ass collection of pictures.
So I’ll just add tidbits.
Demo prob started around 4.15pm; then the police started the usual threats and then started spamming their sirens to drown out the speakers. New strategy, apparently, where all the squad cars [...]
I’ll confess that I didn’t know anything about this until last night (fireworks, dad and aunt) and today (KTemoc), but it’s a pretty darn interesting story (the corny rainbow is over a sugar cane field, apparently :)
Also just wanted to let the world know that this Hokkien lang was still alive [...]
PKR’s Dep Sec-Gen Dr. Xavier Jeyakumar had white paint splashed across his house by unknown assailants in the dead of Monday night. Dr. Jeyakumar staunchly believes the attack is politically motivated. This infruriating act of cowards will not deter those who fight for what is right!
On a more positive note, Tian Chua writes (with pics [...]
I don’t believe differently abled trader Murugan Rajoo kena again >:( After the Selayang Municipal Council promised they would help him get his licence, I assume the usual ‘delays’ prevented this. He then went back to his business, but got picked up by MPS officers for illegal trading.
So how? Is Mr. Murugan and his four [...]
Malaysiakini:

A statement released yesterday by the residents’ committee pointed out that serious health and environmental hazards are associated with the use of cyanide.
They claimed that the [...]
Mohd Firdaus Azizan (pic) has cerebral palsy. Despite being unable to perform basic functions to care for himself, he makes an honest living selling souvenirs in the tunnel between KLCC and its LRT station.
However, Malaysiakini, while covering the launch of the Malaysian Coalition Against Discrimination of the Disabled (Madd, a group I wish [...]
Malaysiakini has brutal details from the victims of the Cheras-Kajang Toll Protest. I’ll let the victims speak for themselves:
Ho Chee Loong, 28, (left) told a press conference at the DAP office in Petaling Jaya today that plainclothes officers threw punches, kicked him and handled him roughly.
“In less than a minute, they caught me [...]
by Police Watch Malaysia. This group does some very extensive good work; I refer here to their latest posting, which contains a lot of very disturbing information – reproduced below.
Malaysiakini article is out, as are statements and appeals from Suaram.
Highlights from Suaram:
Eyewitnesses said the police cracked down the demonstration without giving any warning to the protestors. The demonstration started at 4.00pm at the toll near Cheras Mahkota and merely less than five minutes, the police moved in violently to arrest the protestors.
Some detainees have [...]
Murugan Rajoo, 36, was born without legs. On Jan 4, he was detained by the Selayang Municipal Council for over an hour, and forced to urinate in his pants.
Sequence of events: Mr. Murugan (front row in light blue shirt with hands raised) is a petty trader without a license who claims he first applied [...]
Bowling and arcading at 1 Utama with my younger cousins (last night for visiting Canadian cousin :( ), one of us actually misplaced our car keys – imagine our shock and horror.
I went back upstairs where the arcade caretaker was slowly turning off the games, and asked him about it – soon switching to my [...]
