PM Hatoyama of DPJ
Politics is a drug. Once you have tasted a piece of it, the addiction stays on forever. And for those who have enjoyed the perks that come with it, it is even more difficult to ‘wean’ them away. Just like mother’s milk, its always tasty. But parents have to do what they [...]
It’s easy to spot me, I’m the one without the raised arm! (Pic by TheStar Online)
Interesting gathering, it was called the “1 Malaysia Rally”. But why do I think it was more of a ’syok sendiri’ gathering than anything else.
To fully experience the occassion, I decided to take the LRT from Kelana Jaya (the extreme end [...]
It’s easy to give and its also easy to take back.
That was what His Majesty the DYMM Sultan of Johor did when he took back the 2 honorifics of DPMJ (title of Dato) and SPMJ (title of Dato Seri) from Chua Jui Meng (ex Vice President of MCA).
I’m not going to write about the political [...]

Deputy President of Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), G. Palanivel was sworned in as a Senator in the Dewan Rakyat on 3 May 2010. That’s good for the Indian community. Regardless of his performance for the last 4 terms in Hulu Selangor, I have heard (from my own sources) that he [...]
I was asked by blogger Jed Yoong of “LurveWonderland” (her new blog after a long lapse from the cyberworld) to comment on what I had been upto in the last two years since the 12GE. Knowing well that an email response would not do justice to what I had to say, an interview was arranged [...]

I gave them a very open and honest answer and also included some of my [...]
The very Anti-Thesis of 1Malaysia … if there’s such a thing, we are beginning to wonder!
It takes years to build up goodwill, trust and a harmonious relationship. And all it takes is another ‘Special Officer’ to break all of that … in a couple of seconds!
Nasir Safar must be one of the ’least’ educated special officers [...]
I love my country, does my country love me?
Malaysians are obsessed with slogans and bombastic concept-titles. In the area of National Unity, we had the oft mentioned Malaysian Malaysia (Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew’s creation of 1965), then Bangsa Malaysia (Tun Mahathir’s 2020 brain child), then 1Malaysia (Najib’s concoction of what it means to be [...]
