From Lim Kit Siang’s blog:
Sucks that our hard-earned tax money goes to helping this smug bastard pretend it’s his to dole out as he pleases.
I’m proud of all Sibu-ans for giving this idiot the middle finger. It’s your fucking job to fix floods, not use it as a bribe.

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. [...]

The Saturday of March 27th saw TEDxKL being held at the Petronas Twin Towers and inaugural PERKASA assembly held at PWTC.
Yoon Kit summed it up succintly:
TEDxKL: What Malaysia Needs;
PERKASA: What Malays Want.

Well the tweet deluge on Information and Communications Minister Rais Yatim’s “twitter is against our culture” comment has dropped off twitter’s trending topics since everyone’s going to sleep. What a day; I think many would agree they could really feel the power of social media today. [See the previous post I wrote when the trend [...]
Information Minister Rais Yatim has (inadvertently) made his mark internationally with his hashtag #yorais making #6 (and counting) on Twitter’s Trending Topics!
This was after his recent remark that Twitter and Facebook were against our culture:
“We are not saying that they cannot use Facebook or Twitter but when using such facilities they must upkeep the values [...]

A particular quote from the YDP Agong over the recent Allah issue particularly annoyed me:
“To ensure peace and harmony among the followers of different religions, the meaning and reference to ‘Allah’ in the general context should conform to the description fixed by Islam because this practice has all this while been accepted by [...]

The Altantuya Shaariibu murder case was closed in the eyes of the Malaysian courts last week when Special Forces officers Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar were sentenced to death.
Yet it doesn’t take [...]
It’s now exactly a year after the historic 12th General Elections.
While I may shake my head at some of the political antics that have gone on since then, things have unmistakably changed. The MSM is forced to report the opposition’s POVs. Political awareness has never been higher. Every decision the government makes is placed under [...]
So I’ve been refreshing Malaysiakini nearly non-stop, as you have probably been too. Thoughts on the Perak crisis:
- Anwar has made the biggest mistake in this crisis so far. It’s not even that he was outsmarted by Najib, or that he has zero to show for all his grandstanding over overthrowing the current Government. It’s [...]
