THE SHERATOONIANS’ SECOND ANNIVERSARY!

February 23, 2022

0

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. […]

God’s peace be with you. Malaysiakini reports today that you have called upon DAP to merge with PKR and Amanah, with a view to “creating a more representative and bigger multi-racial party”. “All three should dissolve and merge into one pluralistic party with a progressive outlook. I really hope that one day Pakatan Harapan will […]

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 : […]

Activism, the bus trip to Taiping, and stepping out as the Third Force in solidarity with Guan Eng

August 7, 2020

Come next month, If I include my years of activism through the courts as a legal practitioner, starting from year 2000 until 2010, that accounts for 22 years of my life. What’s it been like? I have always used taking a bus ride to Taiping to describe that journey. You buy a bus ticket to […]

This will be short and to the point. On 22nd June, 2020, Free Malaysia Today reported you as saying : “Based on our experience, we cannot trust (him) 100%.” This distrust of Dr M is shared by many right-thinking Malaysians who only desire what is best for the nation. Myself included. He must never be […]

Asalkan Bukan Mahathir

In the wake of the Sheraton Move, the collapse of the PH government after Dr M’s bizarre moves, first, resigning as PM, and then seeking to resurrect himself as head of a unity government, and finally Muhyiddin being formally appointed as the 8th PM, I had the opportunity to ask of a senior leader of […]

How many does it take to make a 3rd Force?

May 17, 2020

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 […]

Muhyiddin cannot dictate the whole order of business of the Dewan Rakyat on 18th May

May 14, 2020

Just after 4pm yesterday, The Malay Mail reported this most bizarre news : the 18th May Dewan Rakyat sitting, the first since the collapse of the PH government and Muhyiddin’s ascension to the position of prime minister had only one order of business : the Agong’s royal address. The nation is facing a pandemic such […]
