Videos of police attacking Negaraku singing crowd; Selangor police chief proven liar

While The Star Online excitedly writes about Gong Li’s Singaporean citizenship, Malaysiakini finally tells us that all arrested last night have been released except for one individual (I learnt via Terence Tan’s facebook that the one still detained is being held due to an oustanding warrant of arrest out in Pahang).

More importantly, videos are out [...]

From Hindraf to Makkal Sakhti – Turning crisis into opportunity to evolve and strengthen

Membujur lalu, melintang patah!

In tai chi, when your opponent pushes, you pull; when he pulls, you push. An opponent’s strength is used against him, and often, victory is merely a matter of where to stand.

Back in the early days of Hindraf, I wrote at length of how with just a few small changes, Uthayakumar [...]

Malaysia’s Moment to Unite

Note: Don’t forget the solidarity vigil tonight. Stay peaceful, and be calm in the face of any provocateurs.
Date: 13 September 2008
Place: Bukit Aman Police HQ Entrance
Time: 8.30 pm

Malaysia is facing a malicious attempt at false provocation.

Clearly, the selectiveness of the ISA arrests is an insidious and misleading attempt to create resentment among particular communities. Why [...]

In Malaysia’s hour of darkness, we shall fight back – peacefully, and effectively

Update 12.15am: Teresa Kok’s arrest supports the provocation thesis, bolded below. Very stupid of them. We must be smarter. I support the idea of mass action – driving with lights on, flying the Malaysian flag, wearing a certain colour, and maybe a nationwide stay-away-from-work on Monday.

If reports of Tan Choon Heng’s arrest are true, then [...]

Lee Kah Choon et al: Can Some BN Politicians Be Recycled?

I confess, I don’t know much about the man, but a former Gerakan-affiliated political analyst once oozed compliments about the man to me, so I suppose his reputation is fairly sound. This appointment also is occasion to make a few comments about some BN ‘good guys.’

All in all, I’m sincerely glad about the appointment, although [...]

Understanding the Malay Dilemma – How YOU can ensure a racism-free Malaysia

ps- headed outstation for a few days, see you on Friday or so! :)

I’ve been meaning to write this for a mighty long time, as it’s something I believe quite strongly in.

Lately I have been looking at the possibility of Umno’s demise (see Part 1 and Part 2). Again, I think that on the [...]

Accounting

As promised, here is my accounting of the funds donated during the GE 12 campaign.

It may not be perfect, but that’s the best that we have been able to come up with so far.

As you can see, there is about RM 5,000 not spent. I do apologise that I was not able to use this [...]

A New Dawn for Malaysia: Will you be a brave part of it?

It’s the final yard. This week we, as one Malaysian people, will be given a chance to make history.

Going into the last stretch, we’ve now completed some hard work to provide a comprehensive, professional answer to the thousands that have questioned: does the Opposition have a credible, sound vision for a better Malaysia?

I’ve engaged on [...]

Early Victories & Alternative Visions

I have often contended that the voices for truth in Malaysia have their role to play, be it with control of 1/2, 1/3 or even just one seat.

I think we’ve seen good signs of this in the BN Candidates that have been dropped.

PKFZ’s Chan Kong Choy, Zakaria “Mansion” Mat Deros, “One-Eyed” Said Yusof have all [...]

Calling Christians of KL

I grew up in the Church, and it’s always been a place I’ve felt quite comfortable.

I know it’s a lot to ask (and a little late), but every inch helps at this point.

This weekend, if there is anyone who is willing to either organise a small discussion or event, or even just introduce us a [...]

Spreading the Word: Inspired Innovation

A brilliant distribution idea for the bettermalaysia.com posters.

A friend who comments under “For my family” woke up early at went to meet his newspaper delivery man at 6am.

He gave him a few hundred bettermalaysia.com posters, RM 50, and told him to put a poster into every newspaper he delivered.

One word: BRILLIANT.

This is the only way [...]

The Final Mile: Will We Do Our Part?

Fellow Malaysians,

It’s time.

Time to heal our nation’s wounds, be all we can be, and unite to make Malaysia better.

The culmination of so many efforts, so much struggle, is here and now.

None of us can do this alone, and as we enter the final stages of our quest for a better Malaysia, I’m appealing to you [...]

Give Vui Kong a 2nd Chance Please

Help resist the clampdown on the truth!
