Hot damn.Just when I thought that there is no Hope for Malaysia, the one who inspires me is free to think and free to write again. Yes, RPK walked out a free man today. A fantastically good news, to top up a week of fantastically good news for me (read: Mr President Obama)."Tabik spring" to judge Syed Ahmad Helmy Syed Ahmad for calling the detention UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and for striking out against

So the government has called Hindraf illegal.So What?Q: Are we now suppose to stop wearing orange or saffron?A: Nope. Colors can't be banned or called illegal. Especially since orange/saffron is the trademark color for most Indians who are Hindus.Q: Indians not suppose to gather in groups?A: Impossible! Malaysia will get kicked out from UN...Q: How about saying out loud the words "Makkal Sakthi"?

After sodomy, and lethargy, I think whining and fantasizing is Malaysia's third and fourth afflictions, at least the afflictions of the government.Since Hindraf showed up at the Hari Raya open house, there has been non-stop badgering by the PM, the Home Minister, Utusan Malaysia, and even from BN's lap cat, MIC. All because Hindraf supporters wore orange shirts, lined up in one row peacefully,

Malaysians are cowards. Especially educated Malaysians. Educated cowards we all are.We Malaysians like to talk till our throats are parched on how the country is going to the dogs. We Malaysians will stick out our chests and wave our fists, as long as our feet are planted firmly on the ground, or our butts are stuck to chairs. We Malaysians will write in blogs shouting "Daulat Tuanku" and "Long

I am back in the UK. Spent around 3 weeks in Malaysia. Gained a bit more perspective on the lives of my people. Here are only some observations from my own fresh eyed perspective. Take it or leave it.Sweet1. Food, food, food. I have travelled quite a bit, and still Malaysian food is the best in the planet for me (apologies to my Italian and French friends). The best of Malaysia is reflected in

I am back home. Instead of a sense of celebration, I felt like I was attending a funeral - the funeral of Malaysia's future.Upon arrival, I discovered that RPK and Theresa Kok are held under ISA.As I look around me, at the faces of Malaysians from every culture, race and background, it is difficult to accept that among them are ruthless hearts and souls, who would wholeheartedly agree that Raja

I would like ask something to those in the National Registration Department and the PDRM.If a human is given a card printed with 14 digits, which at first and second glances appear random, and told to keep the card just in case one day she may be asked for it, where the probability of being asked for the card is close to zero - especially if she has not much reason to have contacts with

Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi temple in Malacca. Supposedly the oldest Hindu temple in Malaysia (1780s). Although, Hinduism has been prominently practiced in Tanah Melayu from 100BC to 1400AD before the Islamic empire of Malacca. Soon, these temples will be left without priests if the Home Ministry does not remove their block on foreign priests.First they bulldozed some Hindu Temples, even

I was watching BBC yesterday evening on Hurricane Gustave trashing the state of Louisiana, when an (Asian)Indian-looking fellow took hold of the press conference, and started to eloquently outline the measures being taken by the government to support and safeguard the people of New Orleans.I kept biting distractedly into my chocolate, listening to this man, when it suddenly struck me.

Malaysia is full of hypocrites.As with religion, even our very patriotism is steeped in rituals and symbolisms. Instead of genuine care for the country.We let corrupted officials run this country to the dogs. Be it the judiciary, the executive, the MPs in Parliament, even the enforcement including civil servants, city council, police and military. We allow racist teachers to call their students

Fanatics at work; Fools who reacted emotionally, instead of rationally,disregarding the fact that the forum was focused on legal issues, without touching on the merits of Islam.Picture from The Star.I would like to convey my utmost sympathy to two Malaysians who were betrayed by their countrymen today; Shamala and Subashini, both victims who were affected by their husbands' sudden conversion

Foreign Minister Dr (Hah!) Rais Yatim is a true carrier of the BODOH gene. Wasn't he the one who dreamed up a simply brilliant idea that proposed women to obtain written permission if we want to travel overseas alone? An idea that irrevocably reflected the single digit of his IQ.Now he has yet another brilliant one; proposal for "internal council" to monitor bloggers.Yes, you heard it right.

Yes.

However, since 1998, I have known in my head that this man has been persecuted and

Oxford Khairy. The intellectual pretender.If you have been following Awang Selamat's column in Utusan Malaysia, you will know that this so-called "journalist" is nothing more than a mouth piece of UMNO. Which mean, he is a xenophobic and a Malay supremacist.And then we have Khairy Jamalludin. A politician who keeps embarrassing Oxford. A man who insists that he is not an extremist and a racist,

Correct me if I am wrong, but is there ANY OTHER government in this planet that has come up with so many variations of scandals revolving around one particular part of the human anatomy that is vital for the digestive system?How is it that SODOMY is so popular among our politicians? It is as if no other scandal is good enough to bring down some powerful figure in politics.Corruption?Naaah...

Anwar is being accused of sodomy...again!Is the BN gomen desperate or what?BN failed to realize that we Malaysians of 2008 are CHANGED from Malaysians of 1998. In 1998, the Internet was not a prevalent force. In 1998, a majority of us only obtained "facts" provided by the government controlled mouthpiece, i.e. the mainstream media. And in 1998, Malaysians were politically lethargic with Indians

Now even this beautiful Malay lady (Mas Idayu) is being targetted as "bad influence" by Arab wannabes.PAS Youth wants to implement Islamic laws in Pakatan States.

An alcoholic cannot help himself without professional aid! Give them the HELP they need!Someone close to me passed away several days ago...He was a father, a son, an uncle, a friend, a something to someone.He was also an alcoholic.Does the word "alcoholic" take away your sympathy? Erase everything else he was?Most probably, YES.Because being an alcoholic in our society is a social stigma.

JPA announced that 45% of its scholarships will go to non-Bumi students. Which means 55% still goes to Bumis. Whether this is going to be implemented properly, who the heck knows?

In Malaysia, non-Muslims are legally forbidden to preach or "dakwah" to Muslims. Hence the ban on selling religious materials to Muslims. In that respect, I also assume that non-Muslims are also forbidden to slander or FITNA against Muslims. Fine. We accept. And frankly, we are not bothered. Most rational people will simply let others continue believing whatever religion they find affinity with,

And No.Yes because when the Indians stood against fierce blasts of chemical water canons and the abusive batons of the police and FRU forces, right smack at the front line to voice out against their marginalization, they were demanding respect.

I was MIA for sometime due to work and family commitments. But now, I am back, hopefully on full throttle.I was impressed on how Hindraf's efforts led to a unexpected change in the Indian mindset, which has led to the unsolicited and ungoverned movement called Makkal Sakthi. Damn if this doesnt make me proud to be a Malaysian Indian! And this is the first time I can say it like this!

Have you ever heard of the Salem Witch hunt? To those who have not, this was a dark period in American history (1962) where women (and sometimes men) were accused of being witches, and burnt at the stakes. Anyone can accuse them of witchery. Even if a child points out towards a man or woman, shouting "witch", or even if the child tells someone it saw the man or woman blinking too much, that poor

The Government is doing a criminal injustice to the citizens of Malaysia when they are detained without any access to the law and courts. The ISA contravenes basic principles of international human rights law, and in particular Art 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that states: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile." Malaysia is a member of United

Many in this country, especially Muslims, and non-Hindu Indians are questioning why Hindraf appears to only fight for the right of Hindus. Here, I would like to explain my own understanding of things, as a Malaysian, as an Indian and as a born Hindu (born, coz I don't believe in organized religions, but have to write down a religion in my IC anyway).
