Is there poverty where you live?
Rampant corruption in broad daylight?
Wanton abuse of power by local authorities?
Politicians, regardless of which side of the divide, misbehaving?
You’re on holiday overseas and you spot a certain Big Mama on an unholy shopping spree?
And you have a smartphone?
And you’d like the rakyat to see what you are seeing now?

Like you, we aim to bring the truth to the rakyat.
To neutralise the lies that are being told by Utusan, TV3 and the rest of the mainstream media.
All with just your smartphone!
And if you’re game, we have put together a team to impart a little training.
If you’re up north in Arau, down south in JB, on the east coast in Dungun, and especially if you’re in Sabah and Sarawak, we need you to work with us.

Mr. Haris, The Rakyat Times is a timely idea, citizen journos your time is now.
And in regards to the recent Selangor “MOU”, any contract ( or MoU in this case) can and should be challenged, especially if there is doubt to the legitimacy of the contract.
As a case study: In 2006, the Prime Minister of Ecuador, Rafael Correa reacted to the huge public debt that the country had, with a series of actions supposed to protect the rights of the people of Ecuador. Notably, he organized a committee to analyze the public debt. Despite the obstacles and the reactions to this, the committee was able to complete the analysis of the debt, and to find that it was ILLEGAL on the basis that the loans taken were used for projects that benefited only a “few”, the governments signed the contracts without informing the people, and the bankers were aware of this. In the end, Ecuador was able to save about $7 billion by ‘cancelling’ the debt.

Haris & Rakyat Times, this is interesting news if Anwar is sincere – Anwar plugs equal opportunity agenda in meeting with Indian groups. If Anwar is sincere, he is worth supporting.
