Making A Better Malaysia

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

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 [...]
