The last 48 hours in Malaysia saw the power of democracy. At MCA’s EGM on October 10, 2009, Ong Tee Keat was knocked out by a no-confidence motion; but Chua Soi Lek was not reinstated as Deputy (though re-admitted as member). Just a few hours ago, Mr money-politic Mohd Isa Samad won the Bagan Pinang […]

Confessions of a Shopaholic – Alor Setar Chapter
Alor Setar is really far, There’s nothing there, it’s pretty bare. The taxi driver said to me, (and he was serious as could be) “Sini takde benda yang best!” I thought he was simply being… modest.

UMNO is the cancer of Malaysia
Amazing?! For the 2nd time in a row, UMNO chooses a candidate tainted with corruption. They chose Rohaizat Othman at the recent by-election at Permatang Pasir. Rohaizat was disbarred as a lawyer for misusing clients’ funds.

Aku dan PerlembagaanKu
Jawatankuasa Undang-Undang Perlembagaan, Majlis Peguam telah melancarkan “Kempen PerlembagaanKu” baru-baru ini untuk mendidik rakyat Malaysia dan menyebarkan ilmu berkenaan Perlembagaan Persekutuan kita. Mengapakah pengetahuan berkenaan Perlembagaan amat penting? Baru-baru ini saya menghadiri satu mesyuarat dengan sebuah badan silat iaitu sebuah badan bukan kerajaan (NGO).

The problem with some Islamic scholars: Reply to Dr Wan Azhar on “Human Rightism” & Religion
I write this in response to the article entitled “Human Rightism” vs Religion by one Dr Wan Azhar Wan Ahmad, appearing on September 22, 2009 in The Star. I have for awhile now seen the articles of the learned Doctor appear in The Star and I must, at the very outset, state that I have […]

Polyamory and Government, Bang Bang!
I must begin by saying that I’ve always been a hopeless romantic. Whenever I get on a plane, I always look forward to meeting the person sitting next to me because there is a chance that he/she might end up being the love of my life (I use the phrase loosely, but I hope this […]

Cleaning up the Judiciary – was the Chief Justice right?
When I first read the news report in the Star that YAA Tan Sri Zaki, the Chief Justice, had told 2 errant High Court Judges to voluntarily resign, my initial reaction was one of pleasure. I thought it was good that the CJ has finally cracked the whip and told these useless Judges to leave […]

ISA: Kita masih perlu lawan!
Dilaporkan oleh Malaysian Insider bahawa 5 tahanan ISA termasuk Mat Sah Satray yang telah ditahan lebih 7 tahun telah dibebaskan. Malam ini, seorang suami pulang ke pangkuan isteri. Seorang ayah pulang ke dakapan anak. Malam ini, tangisan hiba selama tujuh tahun bertukar kepada jemari yang mengangkat syukur ke hadrat-Nya.

Judging the Judges: CJ means business or business as usual?
Chief Justice Tan Sri Zaki Azmi seems to be initiating bold reforms and is raising the bar for our judiciary. According to media reports, he had even asked two High Court Judges to leave for being grossly inefficient. He is sending a clear and unmistakable signal: he means business.

1Malaysia: It’s time to say enough is enough
I would consider myself to be a person who talks about politics only in coffee shops, who forwards some emails and complains endlessly about the injustice(s) that we suffer and how we should strive to make Malaysia a better country to live in. Like many millions of Malaysians, I only talk the talk and not […]

Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia – SUHAKAM or S.H.A.M.?
I refer to the report titled “Dire Human Rights Situation In Malaysia” appearing in Malaysia Today this morning. During the annual human rights talk organised by HAKAM (a Human Rights NGO whose President is Malik Imtiaz) about two months ago, leading lawyer, Raja Aziz Adrusse, in his speech, said that the actual acronym for Suruhanjaya […]
