Irene Fernandez - Giving Up Isn’t An Option(0)

   I was hungry and you fed me, 
   I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, 
   I was homeless and you gave me a room, 
   I was shivering and you gave me clothes, 
   I was sick and you stopped to visit, 
   I was in prison and you came to me.’
“Then those ’sheep’ are going to say, ‘Master, what are [...]

God, Help Me To Be Irrelevant…(2)

I think I’ve said it a lot of times, and you probably heard it many more times within the Church…in my PKV (varsity christian fellowship) days, the question we asked ourselves and one another was, how can we be “relevant”, especially to the society we live and work in.

Friendship | Love | Justice | No to ISA(1)

My comrades and good friends (L-R) Joshua Woo (Theological Thinker), Jun Wen (Warrior), me(!!), beside Jun Wen in the foreground, (at the back) John Paul (Social Constructor-Commander), Khai [...]

Ahmad Ismail-Koh Tsu Koon: The Alternative is the Only Way(1)

The Ahmad Ismail-Koh Tsu Koon episode has exposed Barisan Nasional’s true colours in terms of racial unity - they have none. I think BN’s accusation of Pakatan Rakyat’s marriage of convenience now echoes loudly back at them. There has never been room for true racial integration in Barisan Nasional’s communal politics. Each of its main [...]

Merdeka-kah Kita?(0)

As I was reading Ahmad Ismail’s statement and his reiteration of the supposed “racist” statement, I remembered a little “berbalas pantun” I had with a Malaysiakini reader two years back:
He wrote:
Ishak Abd Rahman:
Surat protest di katakan ultimatum Pemuda
Memorandum komponen BN dikatakan permintaaan saja
Jeff Ooi dan Malaysiakini nak main isu apa?
Bebaik nanti termakan kata kata [...]

Anwar Ibrahim & Syariah Court(1)

Being someone who is keen on the development of a double civil-syariah court system in our country, I am quite aghast at Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s latest move to seek restitution in the syariah court against Saiful-what’s-his-second-name’s allegation of sodomy.
Malaysiakini reported that
The complaint, referred to as qazaf in Islamic law, is to request a probe [...]
