Minister answer please on Malaysia Apex University, VCs The highly-educated officials in charge of Malaysia's tertiary education, have not yet eradicated gender inequalities embedded within the system. If Malaysia's decision-makers, fifty years post-independence, still have such a parochial mindset, then is it any wonder that our local graduates are unable to be internationally competitive? Perhaps there should also be a selection committee to evalua ...Readmore


Penjelasan: Isu MB Perak rampas kamera wartawan Seperti yang dijangkakan, media akan memainkan isu ini. Peluang untuk memberi penjelasan tidak pula diberi. Saya, bersama Setiausaha Akhbar, Anuar Hashim, Ust. Nor Azli Musa dan seorang lagi kebetulan ada di tempat kejadian... Telahan kami tepat, tidak sampai pun beberapa minit kemudian, suara seorang ADUN Pembangkang yang sangat dikenali dari Kubu Gajah, tidak semena-mena membangkitkan isu ini di ...Readmore


Response: Perak MB says he did not seize camera I am no fan of PKR. But I think sometimes reporters deserved it. In my dealings with them, some are uncouth, annoying and sorely lacking in finesse. Some don't know nuts about issues at hand. Don't do their homework. Sorely lacking in knowledge. ...Readmore

Suara rakyat: Antara dua darjat Ahmad Ismail diiktiraf Pendekar Melayu dengan disarungkan tengkolok kuning, selempang kuning dan keris kuning sebagai lambang keperkasaannya. Komen - beberapa penggal Ahmad Ismail jadi ketua Bahagian UMNO, lihat lah bagaimana masyarakat melayu Penang hidup. Penang terlepas ke DAP pun belum setahun.

Secret police in UMNO! The intention may be good, but they way it is being done is to concentrate power into a unaccountable body and the reports would be by those whose identities are secret. Sounds like the Gestapo/KGB! If they can do this to their own members they can easily impose such a mentality on the rest of the rakyat. ...Readmore


Tony Pua: Arrest experience at vigil against ISA and for BERSIH I stated that I will walk, don't be rough but they tore my shirt instead. I repeated my call and 3 other police officers came at me, one with the knees into my belly while another attempted to kick my shin. They then chucked me against the back of the Black Maria truck and shoved me up despite me stating that I can climb myself. ...Readmore


Response: Real Malaysian identity It may be a shock to few of us, but in the real Malaysia scene (not the same noisy crowd that you meet in courthouses), those so-called champions like Raja Petra Kamaruddin, Hindraf, Jemaah Islamiah, some political leaders are seen as the real racist. Those people who conveniently hide behind their pursuits of self interest. ...Readmore


Economic stimulus package: Avoid expansionary approach CCM Youth will continue to uphold the government and the finance minister in our prayers and trust that the finance minister will resist the temptation of returning back to partisan politics in budget spending but bring about a renewal to the country to ensure that all Malaysians are cared for, and take the country to a new level of maturity, growth and prosperity. ...Readmore


Road signs not a good sign! After 51 years of Merdeka, one would expect DAP and Gerakan leaders, and indeed, all Malaysians, whatever their political hue or ethnic affiliation, to possess a more profound understanding of the foundations of the Malaysian nation. It is because they lack such a perspective that many of them cannot appreciate what primacy of Bahasa Malaysia means in the psychological and sociological sense. ...Readmore


Tahniah Dato Seri Najib! Now, on to the hard part Whether it's nuclear, biodiesel, electric cars or wind farms, the public should be kept informed (this is a more substantial cover story, rather than covering stories of MPs swearing and calling each other monkeys, who would want to read about that???). ...Readmore


Reaction to rejection of Rapid Penang additional buses in Seberang Perai by CVLB This organization is only interested in selling permits to private companies, not in improving bus service. Restricting the movement of RapidPenang shows that they do not really understand public transport. At the same time, this really shows us the lack of understanding that the government has about public transport. ...Readmore


Why is EPF lending my retirement money to ValueCap Sdn Bhd? "The value of shares can go up as well as down.” The standard disclaimer in all prospectuses. Will that RM5bn sum extended to ValueCap be guaranteed? If not, EPF should be charging a very high interest rate to compensate for the risk. Which brings me to the last question: What interest rate will ValueCap be charged and how long will the loan be for? ...Readmore

Issues: Eurocopter, Chinese acting GM of PKNS, PAS theocratic agenda and DAP in silence If that’s the case, I predict that PR has no future!

Press freedom needs level playing field: A response to Teresa Kok suit filed against Utusan Malaysia Civil society has not turned its back on the campaign for press freedom; rather, it is strengthening the campaign by exposing unethical practices and racially charged content that should be criticised. Admittedly, there are serious concerns with the standard of reporting in this country. However, it is not up to the state to use its instruments to penalise the media; rather, it should be left to t ...Readmore


Wifi fallacies endangering public health? Where state-wide Wi-Fi is concerned, CAP’s stand is clear: The Penang government can sell Penang to investors by all means, but it must not sell out Penangites’ well-being to a new wireless technology which is untested for health and safety. Public health is not a commodity. ...Readmore

Guarding our money during financial tsunami Bank Negara's assurance to Malaysian depositors that their money in banks and insurance companies in Malaysia are safe is most welcome given the current global financial crisis.

Politik Baru YB J: Short story on killing of Teresa Kok? There’s simply a daunting amount that must be changed, if you want more respectable public argument and public figures.

Leadership, news and doing the job At least he didn’t get himself in some sex scandals or so… Rejecting a cabinet post was a responsible act after the Mac 8 wave… I somehow just favor his way in doing things… So MCA will have their presidential election coming up soon… Lots of news, and tabloids are in town at the moment… I just hope that the right one gets up there and to a good job, ...Readmore


Do we need a strong government? In a single ethnic country it does not matter if the Government is weak because it will not have to deal with the heavy pressure of racial conflicts even if the Government is less competent... a powerful Government lead by competent leaders is necessary for multi-racial Malaysia. ...Readmore

Ketua Pemuda UMNO: Satu analisa Berdasarkan fakta2 yang tersebut diatas adalah wajar bagi ahli UMNO memberi ruang dan peluang kpd Mukhriz untuk membuktikan kemampuan beliau yang masih belum teruji.

DEB: Menyanggah pandangan Zainal Kling dalam Mingguan Malaysia Namun untuk menjadikan DEB itu sebagai sesuatu yang suci dan tidak boleh dipersoalkan menunjukkan Zainal masih terperangkap di dalam politik lama.

Melamine in Malaysia Its also interesting to note that products which have been “certified” as melamine-free appears to be “certified” on the basis of a warranty supplied by the manufacturers, importers and/or vendors. As an aside, it is interesting to note that most Manufacturers have put up advertisements merely confirming that their products does not contain milk sourced from China. I wonder ...Readmore


Faustian Bargain This post was not intended to talk and discuss about the problems we face, about ISA, or about our individual rights. Instead it is to create a realisation or epiphany amongst everyone that we must protect the sanctity of human life, we must not bargain about who has a life that is of higher value but protect each other. ...Readmore


Gerakan: Only grass and no roots They have grass, but no roots. Fighting them in the next GE will be child's play, just ask DAP. For years DAP felt they could get Penang, and they did, and if not for the tsunami, I think some day they still would have. Remember Koh's immediate remark when he lost Penang? He said he wanted to resign, and that Gerakan had no direction anymore. His meaning is that they should fade away into histor ...Readmore


Hartal ISA at PWTC Hari Raya open house Pak Lah and I had briefly spoken at the MCCBCHST dinner in August and he must have remembered. As we shook hands he exclaimed, ‘Hi, how are you?’. I responded: ‘Dato Seri, please release all the ISA detainees immediately. Please, please, please’. Andrew Ong of Malaysiakini got the account of this wrong. All the others in the group also asked the same thing: free all ...Readmore

Penggantungan TYDP MPAJ? Saya bimbang tindakan ke atas Hamid akan melemahkan semangat kakitangan kerajaan Negeri. Mereka sekarang berada di dalam kedudukan yang amat menyulitkan.

A response to MCA Deputy President candidate But first, we must press on with this Multi-Racial Caucus.

Irrelevant question? ...Readmore


Journalist responds to Anwar Ibrahim blog posting A comment posted on Anwar Ibrahim's blog claims I am a whore in the pay of the government.

Is MCA politics ethically and morally corrupt? A smear campaign or smear tactic is a negative campaigning. It often consists of ad hominem attacks in the form of unverifiable rumors and is often distortions, half-truths, or even outright lies. Ong Tee Keat viewed such dirty tactics with amusement and disdain. ...Readmore


Lim Kit Siang: Stupid or just being clever? In his article, Lim Kit Siang says that threats have been issued to institute legal proceedings against him over his statement that the police report by a MCA Operative triggered the Internal Security Act arrest of Teresa Kok. Now he mentions that he will accept the legal suit. Now he really wants to become a hero. I was so disappointed with his allegations. Politician always a Politician. They ...Readmore


Police report lodged against Teresa Kok for insulting egg So yeah, I think that the police should just ask these people to “go home” when they went to the police station to lodge this ridiculous report. I wonder if the police have accepted their report. What’s the report number? ...Readmore


Malaysia universities: The flaws of APEX The whole exercise of selecting an APEX university is also one that shows desperation: we want to get into the ‘good books’ of education at all cost - without any serious deliberation over the matter - without fixing the problems that exist today which have contributed to the deterioration of tertiary education in the country or finding out why we have not been doing well. The dec ...Readmore

Dengan ini semua, pasti tambah meriahlah Hari Ra ...Readmore


Raja Petra Kamarudin: Off to Kamunting on ISA whilst Anwar Ibrahim advertised an interview Another thing that surprised me is that the self-appointed champion of the people, Anwar Ibrahim has been so quiet on the issue of RPK's arrest and detention in Kamunting. On the day that RPK was sent off to the detention centre Anwar's blog carried a headline advertising his interview with Al Jazeera!!! And how he is the 'spark' that lit Reformasi or some crap like that. ...Readmore


Toxic chemical: Check all China food products In the light of repeated problems with China products and the tendency towards secrecy which hampers quick action, CAP calls on the Ministry of Health not to lift the ban on dairy products any time soon. Instead, it could conduct an urgent nationwide check on other China products, including drugs and food, which may be contaminated with banned substances. ...Readmore


The day of reckoning? All, in all we are the ones suffering from this debacle. As the day goes by, life is still not going for the better.

Response to Khairy Jamaluddin: On Teaching Maths and Science in English There is no such thing as easy route nowadays, Khairy. Especially if you're talking about Maths and Sciences.

Malaysia politics: Sense and Sensibility wanted Perhaps, our people have been too engrossed in polemics, too caught up in sundry politics, too distracted by social mind games, too egoistic, too individualistic, etc. etc., that reality and sensibility have been totally and utterly neglected.

Teresa Kok: Press statement on Internal Security Act detention I have lodged the police report on Sept 17, 2008 against Utusan Malaysia, Zaini and Dr Mohd Khir Toyo for criminal defamation.

Teresa Kok also recorded her appreciation to Zaid Ibrahim, MCA and members of BN component parties, see video... ...Readmore


Maths and Science: Ditch the one size fits all approach The switch to English for science and maths was a step in the right direction that the nation took six years ago. Those who want to backtrack must consider what consequences such an inward looking policy would spell for Malaysia in the community of the future world where we wish to be a developed nation. Clearly, going back is not an option. ...Readmore

Khairy: Letter to the NST on teaching Maths and Science in English I wrote to this newspaper in November last year calling for immediate improvements to the teaching and learning of English in our schools.

NECF Malaysia: Response to the ISA detentions NECF therefore calls upon the government to guarantee the safety and well-being of Raja Petra Kamaruddin and Seputeh MP YB Teresa Kok by immediately releasing them unconditionally.

Better the devil you know Frankly, I would rather vote Pakatan in as an entity on its own as opposed to it being dependant on MPs who crossover. What is the logic of being dependant on the very same people that you choose to criticise and abhor?If it’s all about principles, then one should work on principles. Otherwise, it is back to the tired old game of politics and we will end up choosing the better of two evils. ...Readmore

Malaysiakini story suggests army wants to mix in politics? Was it was an indirect advice to the police to take action fast so that small racially charged incidents do not escalate?

A lesson that Ahmad Ismail taught me The recent Ahmad Ismail's story reminds me of this conversation that we had a while ago. I realised that to be a good journalist, a lot of effort is needed.

To do list for governing If Malaysia still keeps on talking about racially-based politics, I am afraid these experts will not come to contribute to Malaysia.
