The Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM) recently launched an online poll to gauge public opinion about the controversy over the the caning of women for adultery. It’s an issue that has seen The Star, Malaysia’s largest English daily, having its license threatened because they dared print an article discussing it, and caused Marina Mahathir’s regular [...]

Read this recently in The Star and I was flabbergasted.
The biggest gainers will be new inspectors who will get a starting salary of RM2,060 compared to RM1,492 previously. Diploma and STPM holders will also be allowed to join the force directly as sergeants and they will start with a basic salary of [...]

I’m quite the seasoned bus-traveller. Spent four years in Malacca and let me tell you the eight-hour Malacca-Penang journey was no joke. Students usually had to settle for the cheapest buses and looking back it was quite hazardous – many companies have poor maintenance for their buses and do this irritating thing where they swap [...]
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 [...]
Nearly 9 months on it’s still clear we are voting not for Pakatan, but against BN.
Take recent statements by Lim Guang Eng and Tian Chua:
Meanwhile, Guan Eng said the Pakatan did not make decisions unilaterally.
“If any problems occur, we will resolve it through musyawarah, that is through discussions. All three parties must hold discussions and [...]
The Red Breakfast show was a part of my morning drive for more than a year (107.6 in Penang). I think I tuned into it by accident, and never changed the dial after that. Red.fm’s evening shows left a lot to be desired, but the Breakfast show had lively, quirky discussions and interviews.

It’s odd how the same people who spoke out loudly against UiTM’s bumi-only policies now demonize Mukhriz Mahathir for suggesting that the school system be unified. I am particularly disappointed that PR politicos are milking this for all it’s worth.
Does it take an education degree to understand that racially segregating children until they are seventeen [...]
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 [...]
I would like to apologize for any disgust caused by having to put this picture on my blog (man he’s ugly isn’t he?).Unless you are utterly clueless I don’t think I have to inform you what happened so let’s just jump to my take on it.In one of the earlier Star reports I spotted this:
