Brave New World
Going from dissent to defiance
Fumbles and trips as one learns the ropes can be forgiven, but there is a difference between ineptitude and downright sabotage.
We must never allow the mob to rule
People calling for a ban on the use of ‘Allah’ by non-Muslims must find their justification in the Quran or in legal enactments.
Ear biting is fighting dirty
There are ways and means to deal with the alleged leak of evidence yet to be tendered to the Teoh Beng Hock inquest. The most obvious and fair procedure would be to make a complaint with the inquiry itself.
Songs that send me up the wall
If You Are Not The One, or The Man Who Can’t Be Moved, it makes no sense to be told I’ve Never Been To Me.
Desperately seeking real unity
Let’s support groups like the Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia movement which advocates a non-ethnic brand of politics and governance.
Freedom to agree or disagree
Our own laziness and lack of self-belief are producing high-handed actio by some authorities.
Let’s not forget the value of the rule of law
Those who should know better are forgetting the values enshrined in our Constitution, thus the Bar Council’s education campaign.
Hoping for change
The Nobel Peace Prize should not be given lightly, and neither should corruption and political office be mentioned in the same breath.
Growing up in an age of innocence
Childhood is the time of great innocence. Friends will be friends because we get along, and there’s no ‘other’.
Penang needs the money too
George Town as a Unesco heritage site may have to play second fiddle to ‘twin’ Malacca if petty politics gets in the way of responsible governance.
Let’s stamp out racism
Not only must we condemn the cow-head protest in Shah Alam last week but we must look into ourselves and make sure we don’t think and speak like racists.
