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. […]
Jayanath Appudurai Surat ini diajukan kepada Warga Malaysia berusia 20 hingga 40 tahun. Terlebih dahulu saya mohon maaf secara ikhlas.

“This blog, then, is about civil society reclaiming its power to determine who are the law-makers in Parliament today who are worthy of the trust reposed in them by the people and if, sadly, we discover there are none presently, to make an informed decision of who we will next install in the people’s parliament”.

God’s peace be with you. I caught your Covid-19 stimulus package press conference on TV the other day. A good package? I am hopeless with all the figures bandied about, and there are experts aplenty bisecting and dissecting the RM250b package, so I wont even go there. I will trust Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj in his […]
Jayanath Appudurai 9th March 2020 ____________________________________________________________ The drama that unfolded on 23rd February and beyond are but symptoms of an insidious virus in our society.

I am not saying there has been only one difference that PH brought in their 21 months in governance. And I have so much more to say about this unholy denial of the will of the rakyat expressed through the ballot box on 9th May, 2018. More of that later. The media reporting over the […]
If you believe in a God, pray for this nation. If not, send positive energy to the Agung, the PH leaders and the leaders in Sabah and Sarawak. May wisdom and a genuine caring for the rakyat, and nothing else, guide all who will decide the fate of this nation in the coming hours and […]
