My mind travels back to 1959… Hardly 10 years old and 2 years as a citizen of Independent Malaya, Raya ‘59 was my first taste of “roti jala”!

February 23, 2022

By Jayanath Appudurai 23 Feb 2022 Two years on, They are yet to deliver, On the promised land of ethno-religious unity! Instead they continue to play their game of thrones, With nary a thought for “mempertahankan maruah bangsa dan agama”; And oblivious to the real “ penderitaan of the Rakyat”! The Rakyat now, know better. […]

God’s peace be with you. Malaysiakini reports today that you have called upon DAP to merge with PKR and Amanah, with a view to “creating a more representative and bigger multi-racial party”. “All three should dissolve and merge into one pluralistic party with a progressive outlook. I really hope that one day Pakatan Harapan will […]

Post Sheraton, we are just not too sure, with few exceptions, who our elected reps actually serve. I caught Ong Kian Ming’s and Kelvin Yii’s […]
