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. Generasi saya telah gagal mencapai aspirasi membentuk satu masyarakat bersepadu, demokratik, adil, liberal dan progresif yang termaktub dalam Rukunegara. Kami gagal menunaikan komitmen. Kami gagal membendung kemerostan masyarakat kita walaupun terdapat tanda tanda nyata. Kami […]
Jayanath Appudurai ( Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia aged 72 & counting the days) This letter is specifically directed to my fellow Malaysians in the 20 to 40 age group. First a sincere apology.

Note : This post is dedicated to my new friends in Melaka. Hope it helps all to better understand I am the Third Force. ____________________________________________________ In an earlier post on 17th May, 2020, I looked to the freedictionary for an explanation of the conventional meaning of Third Force ( here is the meaning given : […]
With modifications, I am re-hashing something I wrote 4 years ago. First, lets get definitions out of the way. The freedictionary explains the phrase “THIRD FORCE” to mean, amongst others, “one or more nations, political parties, or other organizations occupying an intermediate position between two other opposed forces”. Could we expand this to allow for individuals? Or just 1? Seriously, I’ve never needed numbers behind me to do what I believed to be right. One […]
Not sure what hartal is? Without any internet, phones, mobile or otherwise, fax or photostat machines,Malayans pulled off an amazing hartal on 20th October, 1947. Just goes to show what a united people can accomplish. I am going to share a short video of how that one day protest in Malaya was. You should watch […]
Editor’s note : I had said that during the currency of this ongoing MCO, I would not write on politics so as not to distract our focus on the pandemic. Goings-on in the backdoor government left me pissed off. Gloves off. _________________________ Malaysiakini reported on 17th April, 2020 that the Dewan Rakyat will sit for […]
Bernard Khoo aka Zorro Unmasked. 6 years ago, on this day, Zorro left us. I first encountered Zorro at the Press Club in early 2007. We hit it off instantly.

“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 […]
