Third Force, people? Yes or No?

November 13, 2019

1

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 […]

PD, is Anwar the man you want to lead this nation as the 8th Prime Minister?

October 1, 2018

1

Could there be an outcome other than Anwar winning? Realistically, I can’t see Anwar not being first past the post come 10pm on 13th October, 2018. However, given what this by-election represents, Anwar just winning may not be enough. He cannot drop below the 60% of the votes garnered by PKR on 9th May. Let’s […]

You Muslim in Muar? This what you want? No? Wash elsewhere, then

I am sure by now many of you would have read about the “Laundrette for Muslims only” in Muar. If you haven’t, you can read the report in Staronline at http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2017/09/24/muar-launderette-adopts-muslims-only-policy/ Why only for Muslims? According to the report, the laundrette operator declined to give the reasons, merely stating that he “was just carrying out […]

YB Hee, vote down Hadi’s 355

February 23, 2017

This Friday, 24th February, 2017, at 10am, a group of PJ Selatan registered voters will meet our Member of Parliament, Yang Berkhidmat Hee Loy Sian, at his service centre in Section 17, PJ. The purpose of this meeting? First, to direct him that should Hadi’s Bill 355 be called up in the next Parliamentary sitting to be voted […]

What will allow the pseudo-Islam noose to tighten round your secular neck? Your silence!

February 17, 2017

I would like to first refer to two very important court decisions in the late 80’s, to lend a context to what I want to say. First, the case of Jamaluddin Othman @ Jeshua Jamaluddin. A Malay, and presumably born in a Muslim family, Jamaluddin renounced Islam, embraced Christianity as his faith, and took the name Jeshua. […]

Ignore the hudud issue at your own peril

June 5, 2016

1

In 1988, the Federal Constitution was amended to introduce a new Article 121 (1A). The whys and wherefores for this amendment will have to be left to be discussed another day. Suffice to say for now that at the time the Bill was debated in Parliament, both Kit Siang and Karpal were in detention under […]

Why Muslims need a secular state

May 14, 2012

12

The title of this post is taken from the first chapter of an excellent book entitled “Islam and the secular state : Negotiating the future of syaria” by Professor Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na’im. Those who are familiar with my understanding of Islam will know full well that I fully subscribe to the continuance of our secular […]

PAS masturbating as usual

May 14, 2012

16

“I’m told by the locals, including some of the Muslims, that the lifestyle of the majority in Labuan simply does not favour a PAS candidate. Notice how in Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur in the 12th GE, of the 11 parliamentary seats there, PAS only contested and won in only 1 seat, that is, Titiwangsa? Might […]

Go on, take a peek at Nik Aziz’s hudud and see if you still want to remain silent on this issue

October 2, 2011

103

Malaysiakini yesterday reported that Nik Aziz hopes to see a 2/3 majority secured in Parliament so that hudud can be implemented throughout the country. More troubling, Malaysiakini’s Susan Loone quoted Nik Aziz as saying that at a “recent meeting between Pakatan Rakyat leaders in Selangor, the DAP, that fiercely opposed the law, had accepted Kelantan’s […]

Whilst the nation inches towards financial ruin…

September 27, 2011

I have to confess that most times that Arthur engages me on the global capital markets, much of what he says is Greek to me. Still very much a kampung boy, I guess. Not so kampung boy, though, that I cannot make out from this report in the Malaysianinsider that the attention of the whole […]
