Why are the oppressive laws still on our statute books?

October 9, 2019

Later this morning, my appeal, and that of the prosecution, in relation to my conviction and fine under the Sedition Act, 1948, comes up before the Court of Appeal for hearing. In a post in August, last year, I suggested that the sum total of promises in the PH election manifesto can be conveniently summarised […]

…and I hoped I would never have to write again!!!

In the days that followed 9th May, 2018, and the historic victory of the rakyat over a regime that had held on to power by keeping us divided along the lines of race and religion and wholesale cheating at poll after poll,  I held on to hope that I would be able to start to […]

Why I am for the abolition of the death penalty

October 30, 2018

I have written on this previously, and my views remain the same, so I am just going to reproduce excerpts here of what I wrote before. I want to share my thoughts on why I think the death penalty is wrong, but allow me to first digress for a moment. Irene is in her 70’s. […]

Dear Kit Siang,

Just read the report in Malaysiakini about your call for a moratorium on all repressive laws. I knew we could count on you to stand with us in urging the PH government to honour their pre-election promise to free this nation of the slew of draconian laws which, sadly, continue to be enforced by PDRM. […]

Muhyiddin, our patience is wearing thin

Your coalition, in your election manifesto, promised to repeal draconian laws, including the Sedition Act. This has yet to be done. If that’s not bad enough, PDRM, which comes under your purview, continues to investigate individuals under this law. If you can’t handle PDRM or, worse, you are clueless about the continued use of this […]

In May, 2013, I invested RM5,000.00 In April, 2016, I added another RM5,000.00 to that earlier investment. RM5k invested for 3 years and then RM10k for another 2 years. On Monday, 9th April, I cashed in on my investment. I got my RM10k back. The return on my investment? What did I invest in? My […]

Please, Sir, could you also clean up some other bad law?

In May, 1994, my brother Adam, and I, were in the lobby at Parliament to listen to proceedings relating to a bill to amend the Constitution which, in my view, if passed, would remove an important institutionalised check against draconian law-making. When the constitution was first promulgated, law making required the consensus of 3 institutions […]

I had applied to the High Court to strike out the sedition charge pending against me in the Sessions Court on the grounds that the Sedition Act, 1948 is bad law. That application was struck out by the High Court judge, without the merits of my application being heard, after the judge upheld preliminary objections […]

I contacted him on Facebook this morning and he confirmed that he would be charged at 9am on Monday at the Selayang Sessions Court. I asked him what was the statement he is alleged to have made that […]
