Ini adalah artikel kedua Amer Hamzah Arshad (salah seorang LoyarBurok) dalam kolum “Paksi Kata” di akhbar Suara Keadilan yang menyentuh mengenai krisis perlembagaan negeri Perak dan kepentingan perlembagaan di dalam kehidupan seharian. Ianya juga menerangkan mengapa rakyat seharusnya menghadiri pelancaran Fasa 2 Kempen PerlembagaanKu “Institusi Perlembagaan & Pemisahan Kuasa” pada Januari 15, 2010 di Sunway University College, pukul 4 petang.

I have been labelled anti this and that. Apparently, I am also pro this and that, or the other. As such, I am going to begin this article with a disclaimer, just as all accountants do on their reports. This article contains my interpretation of the relevant Constitutional provisions in respect of the “rights” of […]
I write this article so as to apprise the people who, in the mind of the general public, have taken the law into their own hands through the harassment of law abiding citizens of this country with the threat of using the Sedition Act 1948 on them. They should not have done it without first […]
Royalties tend to have more patience than most of us because they live off our hard earned money, don’t have to work if they don’t want to, use their positions for business, marry and divorce as often as they like (all on our money of course), can sell titles, can give titles in exchange for […]
