Dear Muhyiddin

March 30, 2020

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 […]

Dear Mahathir

February 27, 2020

In KK right now and caught you live on TV yesterday evening. Taking in all that you said yesterday, against the backdrop of all that has taken place since last Sunday, and the story making its rounds that Azmin and Gang, to your total exclusion, were working on their dastardly plan, reminds me of the […]

Amanah, DAP, PKR, the end is nigh come the 15th GE unless you turn the ABU votes of days gone by into “We love you” votes

I have deliberately omitted addressing this post to Bersatu, with good reason, which I will make known in the course of this post. Anyone remember Loh Gwo Burne? The man behind the camera in the VK Lingam scandal? He stood on a PKR ticket in the 12th GE, in the parliamentary constituency of Kelana Jaya. […]

Third Force, people? Yes or No?

November 13, 2019

I have written quite a bit about the 3rd Force in the past. And, of late, its being spoken of again. Even Zahid Hamidi, in an effort to displace Alan Perera and Indi Nadarajah as the local happening comedy guys, has had his say, suggesting that “Umno and its allies can become the nation’s “third […]

Dear Mahathir,

God’s peace be with you. I read with interest the report on Free Malaysia Today on things you said in relation to your attendance at the Malay Dignity Congress, and some advice you extended to Malays, generally. In another FMT report, you are reported to have “dismissed criticisms that the Malay Dignity Congress is racist, […]

The rakyat are not ready to be equals?

Some years back, when Bernard Dompok was helming the National Unity Ministry, I attended his talk at the Assumption Church in PJ. During Q&A, I put this to Bernard : I could not find the word Bumiputra in the Federal Constitution. And the Reid Commission Report clearly envisaged that the “special position” of the Malays […]

…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 […]

The evening that Zeus smiled on SABM’s Social Inclusion Agenda

September 18, 2018

Those of you who have been to Rumah Anak Bangsa Malaysia previously would be all too familiar with the graffiti that adorned the inside of one of the perimeter walls, reflecting the thoughts and aspirations of those who have shared in the vision and mission of Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia. (SABM) Zeus, the Greek god […]

What is the value of an election manifesto to a voter?

August 27, 2018

1

I think there are two, depending on the kind of voter you are. First, it might help a voter decide which party to give his or her vote to. Second, to measure the performance of the party he or she chose, when the next election comes along. Whilst attitudes to general elections are wide-ranging, I […]
