50th Merdeka anniversary – “Feel good” euphoria absent; instead a stifling “feel worse” sentiment among Malaysians

Friday, August 31st, 2007

50th Merdeka Anniversary Message
Unlike previous years, on the occasion of the 50th Merdeka anniversary, I am issuing a message on the day itself instead of the usual practice of on its eve.
Just one or even two months ago, no one would have predicted or expected that Malaysians would be troubled by [...]

Makna Merdeka 50

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Makna Merdeka 50
Merdeka negara! Merdeka bercita!
Bebas negara! Bebas bersuara!
Merdeka bukan hadiah penjajah
Kebebasan insan hasrat Allah.
Alam ku luas, borkat Illahi

Kampong halaman bukan nya sauh
Ingin ku menghilir merantau jauh.
Di mana bumi ku pijak, di sana langit ku junjong
Selagi hati berhajat, cita ku jangan [...]

Farce of patriotism by handful of BN MPs – black chapter for Parliament and blot for 50th Merdeka anniversary

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

A handful of irresponsible Barisan Nasional MPs had disgraced Parliament and demeaned the 50th Merdeka anniversary by staging a farce of patriotism in Parliament yesterday just to score cheap political points to catch Opposition MPs off-guard.
Yesterday’s Parliamentary sitting started at 10 am with the Speaker, Tan Sri Ramli Ngah making a [...]

Non-bumis no more?

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

by Azly Rahman
Sometime ago in a column I wrote the following:
We are in the 21st century. About three years from now, we will arrive at the year 2010. The non-Malays and non-bumiputeras have come a long way into being accepted as full-fledged Malaysians, by virtue of the ethics, rights and responsibilities of citizenship. They [...]

MCA policy statement on “social contract” blacked out by MCA newspaper The Star

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

This is most extraordinary and unthinkable — MCA newspaper The Star “blacking out” the MCA policy statement on the “social contract”!
The Chinese newspapers gave front-page headline treatment to the policy statement issued yesterday by the MCA Presidential Council following the shock declaration of the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi that Malaysia [...]
