Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Today’s press reported that Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said in Seremban that the people must reject leaders who fail to perform when given the opportunity.
Apart from aiming his shots at the Opposition, many must be wondering who in the ruling coalition could Najib be directing his fire.
Could he be referring to [...]

End body-snatchings - cause human suffering, break families and undermine ethnic relations

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

In his international sojourns, one of Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s favourite topics is to preach inter-faith dialogue, pointing to Malaysia as a model of inter-faith co-operation.
Back home in Malaysia, however, initiatives for inter-faith dialogue had never faced greater obstacles under the Abdullah administration with an unprecedented and lengthening catalogue of [...]

Four quotes from Gandhi

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

At last night’s DAP ceramah on “ISA detention of Hindraf 5” at the Penang Chinese Town Hall, with an overflowing crowd spilling out of the hall, I ended my speech with four quotes from Gandhi.
They are:
1. Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
2. In matters of conscience, the law [...]

Do we need a RCI on RCI on Lingam Tape to restore confidence in judiciary?

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

The second-week proceedings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the Lingam Tape has delivered three body blows undermining the commission’s public credibility as an independent and fearless agency to restore national and international confidence in the independence, integrity and quality of the Malaysian judiciary.
The first blow stems from the continued [...]

Will Ong Ka Ting review the PHFSA?

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Letters
by RS
With reference to media reports of a doctor being convicted for not registering his clinic, (Jan 19th 2008), it is incomprehensible that this registered doctor was fined a whopping RM120,000 for not registering his clinic.

EC violates National Integrity Plan in rejecting “caretaker government” concept

Friday, January 25th, 2008

I have received a shocking response from the Election Commission declaring that it does not recognize the concept of caretaker government when Parliament is dissolved to ensure free, fair and clean general election.
The Secretary of the Election Commission Datuk Kamaruzaman bin Mohd Noor in a letter dated 17th January 2008 but faxed to my [...]

Letters
by frustrated scholar
I am writing as a Malaysia JPA (Public Service Department) Scholarship holder.
But, the problem is, I am also an Active Blogger on blogspot.com, touching mainly on socio-political issues.
To be frank, I have been very much careful in my writings by not touching religions and names and by remaining neutral politically.
