Its one thing to be interested and involved in politics but another thing to be patriotic about your country. Most of us have got it wrong and seem to have mixed up both in the search for a ‘better’ Government.
So the Permatang Pauh (PP) By-Election has come and gone. What next?
I still remember for many [...]
Return of RPK, the Second
Less than 24 hours after the Government clamped down on the ever-increasing popular news portal of RPK, a mirror site sprang up to fill in the gap. This shows how resilient the cyber community is. Mirror site upon mirror site can be reproduced with the click of a button and whole [...]
Take a good look, even this face may be censored!
For all those who prefer to read alternative forms of news apart from the usual The Star, New Straits Times, the Sun, Malay Mail, etc it was a sad day that the Government chose to shut down the ever popular news portal of RPK’s Malaysia Today.
What [...]
Sssssh …
I wrote earlier in my post Keep Quiet When Its In Your Interest that people will make noise only when its convenient (and serves a purpose) and not when its crucial and neccessary.
Today when Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI) was sworn in with lightning speed in Parliament as the ‘new’ Oppossition Leader to the congratulatory notes [...]
And I Swear …
A few days ago, I wrote about swearing being a fashionable tool to proclaim one’s innocence. If we resort to that kind of action to prove our integrity, there’s no end to when people mix religion and politics and start playing with religious sentiments to achieve their political ambitions.
However, today, at 10am in the [...]
The ‘new’ MP for Permatang Pauh, after an absence of 10 years.
As a supporter of Barisan Nasional (BN), the results for the Permatang Pauh (PP) By-Election on the 26th August 2008 is a real shocker for me. I think if we were to call for a General Election today, we might surely lose the Federal [...]
Beijing Olympic Closing Ceremony seen from a distance
I watched the Closing Ceremony of the 29th Beijing Olympiad last night and felt that although it was grand and spectacular, something was really missing from that show compared to the one staged on 08.08.08.
For one, Guo JinLong the Mayor of Beijing, must have felt that his job [...]
And I thought that was only a song by ‘All For One’. Swearing by the moon and the stars in the sky is one thing, but nowadays, it seems that swearing by the Quran is also becoming fashionable.
Mohd Saiful (ex Anwar coffee boy) did it in the Main KL Mosque. Then Najib (DPM) did it. Followed [...]
Raging Prices???
Thanks to the Cabinet and the PM, we now get to enjoy a 15 cent savings as far as petrol bills are concern beginning 23 August 2008. The announcement came as a surprise as the PM kept saying that there will be no revise of Petrol prices before the sudden turn-about on Saturday.
I’m not [...]
Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP)
For those of you who had missed the first in the series of “Debate of the Century” between Shaberry Cheek (Minister of Information) and Anwar Ibrahim (Permatang Pauh candidate), there’s still a chance for you to come saviour the second installment – Siri Debat Agenda Daily – ‘Kisah Benar Disebalik Kontroversi [...]
