Unfortunately, I don’t have videos or even much photos on the event, but, o’ [...]
Do we have freedom and rights over our own life? I think deep inside us, we all don’t really bother…
Total freedom, that’s wishful thinking…
But what about the master psychologist Victor Franckl who wrote:
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They [...]
Dato Azhar Ibrahim’s statement in the Star (Starmetro, 16 December 2008) is irresponsible and does not reflect the calibre of an able leader to lead the Opposition front in the Penang State Government.

I woke up at about 6am and travel across the bridge to Penang island and ran from one event to another, for two days over the weekends!
Saturday was a little boring though, press conference, forum, judo competition (there was the consolation of seeing ppl knock down one another though), dinner…

Last Friday, I received a letter from Dewan Pemuda PAS Pulau Pinang (Penang PAS Youth Wing) objecting to a program called IDance Campaign endorsed by the Penang State Government under the Youth and Sports Exco Office. We accepted the objection raised and wanted to meet with the Dewan Pemuda to hear out their stance and [...]

Stories from the high society of Dato-Dato (Malaysia’s equivalent to “Sir”, I guess) for the past week…
Dato’ Zaid Ibrahim, the famed founding partner of ZICO and an UMNO member, attended PKR National Congress and (with lesser press coverage) the 10,000-guest Penang DAP Victory Dinner last week.
Dato’ Yong Teck Lee, President of SAPP, BN’s [former?] component party [...]
I was at the Kelab Menembak Pulau Pinang (Penang Shooting Club) beside the Botanical Garden today. It was a new experience to witness “flying target” shooting live. The closest I got to this was playing it on video games years ago, the one where you shoot flying ducks.
