Clear And Present Danger In Malaysia

By Crankster That title – ‘Clear And Present Danger’ – caught my attention in Malaysiakini. I had instant thoughts of Jack Ryan, the Intelligence officer every country wants to have. For those of you who read Tom Clancy, you’d probably know it was from a title of one of his books. Others may remember it … Continue reading

Sudahlah tu, dalam Umno pun ada Kristian!

by Ahmad Tajdid MASIH ingat lagi John Ghani? Beliau ialah perwakilan Umno Sabah dan pertama kali muncul dalam perhimpunan agung parti itu setelah Umno membuka keahlian kepada Bumiputera selain bangsa Melayu. John Ghani menjadi popular kerana loghat Sabahnya apabila menyebut “zink” sebagai “jink” ketika berucap dalam perhimpunan agung Umno. Antara yang menyiarkan ucapan wakil Sabah … Continue reading

“We Do Not Compare Ourselves To Malaysia, But To 1st World Countries”

By Crankster I was browsing youtube for some perspective on Singaporean politics. You’d be surprised how little we know about our own neighbours. It was then that I saw this comment. Thewongkahtatt believes that Singaporeans are lucky to have reasonably good governance and pretty good development in their nation. In one sense, I actually agree … Continue reading

PDRM will get yer!

By Sharifuddin A Latiff Unless you’re 1Melayu 1Bumi, that is. Here are the evidences (and it’s in full colour compared to some grainy B&W stuff that’s in the media lately).

I usually can be persuaded to see reason, but this is not one of those times. The reader’s comment: The updates of PM’s … Continue reading

Interlok & Hitler

10,000 dead sepets

By Eyes Wide Open Now THAT makes a funny cartoon! By Berita Harian’s journalism benchmark. There was a ‘minor’ outcry over Berita Harian’s cartoon of Ultraman running for his life from a deadly tsunami. Malaysians of all creeds and colours were united in condemnation of such an insensitive treatment of the greatest natural tragedy to … Continue reading

Interlok protestors – liars, childish, ignorant, inconsistent and mad

Commentor “Yeah” has stepped up to the plate to defend Interlok from the “denials faced by the “uninformed masses – as embodied by the folks in hartalmsm”. We offered him a platform on HartalMSM to share his views on what great benefits Interlok would bring as a work of literature for BM students, as well … Continue reading

Translate This Into Votes

By Crankster For all the ruckus that the Indians have been whipping up over the ‘Interlok’ issue, it looks like the Chinese have been insulted far worse in the novel. And yet, they appear to be quite unruffled. The writer of ‘Interlok’, Abdullah Hussain has attempted to depict the Chinese in all sorts of ways … Continue reading

Malott has not addressed the main issue

By Peter Masry Former US ambassador to Malaysia John Malott’s response (see Malaysiakini / Din Merican or elsewhere in blogosphere) to American blogger Rachel Motte on Feb 14 regarding Anwar Ibrahim deserves a response in return. Briefly, while Malott may be right that Ms Motte engages in hyperbole, and possibly defamation, (calling Mr Malott “Anwar’s Pet” is … Continue reading
