The problem isn’t with 1Malaysia. We can all get behind the concept of unity, in fact what’s worrying is why it should be anything new.
But the real problem is that most of us suspect BN of just superficially pandering to the non-Malays. There is, after all, no good reason for any non-Malay to vote for [...]
Al-Jazeera interviewed PERKASA head Ibrahim Ali today for its piece on the sidelining of non-Malays in Malaysia.
Any politician would have seemed a little boorish considering that AJ also interviewed Farish Noor. But Ibrahim Ali actually has to be censored for repeatedly swearing on international TV. They couldn’t have made him look worse if they tried. [...]

Ahmad has been stripped of party posts and suspended from UMNO for 3 years. Fitting enough in my book – although from the reports that are coming in there is still a simmering conflict in the works. Some called for the ISA or Sedition Act to be used against Ahmad, but I think it would have been a bad [...]
There I said it. If you watched it last night then do drop a note and tell me what you thought. Will update with youtube links once they are up.

Rafidah also said that it was unnecessary to accede to a PAS suggestion for the party to have an open debate with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and [...]
