Datuk Mohd Zaid Ibrahim was recently in Kangar to address Parti KeADILan Rakyat cadres and members in Perlis and he posted this post with some good advice that is worth heeding by Pakatan Rakyat, both members and policy makers alike: Semalam Di Kangar http://myzaidibrahim.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/semalam-di-kangar/ Saya telah dijemput oleh Sdr Johari Shafie dan badan perhubungan Parti [...]

This is happening in Fiji where the Methodist Church is cancelling its annual conference due to fear of more arrests of its officials. 9 officials of the Methodist Church was recently arrested and the Government in Fiji will only allow the conference to be held provided that: No comment on the current political crisis in [...]

Here’s another video from the August 1 Anti-ISA March taken and edited by my friend, Sam Hui. Unfortunately, he accidentally had his audio turned off so the live commentary all went to waste. Nonetheless, you get to see the ISA Monster in this clip!

  I meant those in uniforms and weapons, of course.   Of the 438 arrested today, 50 remain in custody, including the Member of Parliament for Subang, Sivarasa Rasiah. Efforts are being expended to get them released by tonight.   Malaysiakini’s photographs from the event can be viewed here.

Live updates on the anti-ISA rally in Kuala Lumpur are being posted on Merdeka Review. What I do know is that more than 200 have been arrested, including the wife of ISA detainee, Norlaila Othman as well as MP for Ampang, Zuraidah Kamaruddin.

One of the causes I highlighted in my birthday wish(es) post is the JUST Children Project (I erronously referred to it as the JUST Kids Project in the post). The JUST Kids Project is a voluntary tuition program for less than fortunate primary school students. The programme started at the Desa Mentari Flats in PJS4, [...]

The Prime Minister was kind enough to remind students not to become activists of what he terms as “malicious slander and rumours”. One has to wonder though why, anecdotally speaking, does speaking up only becomes “malicious slander and rumours” when it involves criticism of representatives of UMNO and Barisan Nasional. Wouldn’t op-eds like this that [...]

In a press conference that just concluded, the State Assembly member for Pandamaran and State minister for Local Government, Research & Development, Ronnie Liu rebutted allegations by the Truth for Teoh Beng Hock blog (see my earlier post). Ronnie also posted a copy of the expenditure list for Sungai Pelek that is in the centre [...]

One of the conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Teoh Beng Hock is that the deceased was on the verge of exposing some high level corruption and collusion of representatives of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) with the underworld. He was hence disposed of by these elements who managed to infiltrate the offices of the [...]

If you know anyone who’s a school leaver, in between jobs or looking for a change in career there’s a sponsored training opportunity within the finance industry – specifically in the insurance industry.

I just came back a few hours ago from the funeral of the late Teoh Beng Hock. I got in the same car with Jonson Chong and a few others from Keadilan’s HQ and left for the Nirvana Memorial Park at Semenyih around 11.00am. A lot has been said and tweeted about the event, so [...]
