The Burmese People Need Our Moral Support

The Burmese people or Myanmars (as the Junta wants to be known for the Burmese) are refugees in our country.

They desperately want to go home too, but the Junta will arrest and put them in hard labour camp. They are consistantly living in fear because many are illegal immigrants in our country.

In a courteous way they are inviting Malaysians to be with them in this 4th.Anniversary. If you want to know more about Aung San Suu Kyi, then be there and hear it from the horse's mouth.

We can't be too sure not to be like them in foreign country.

Time For Rejoicing!

No matter what faith we believe in and no matter what colour our skins are. This is the time for rejoicing among the brotherhood of Man.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

It Is The Victory That Counts!



The 31st. Asia Pacific Conference on East Timore II Participants.
Each of them was awarded RM30,000 over their illegal detention by the police.

This is the milestone in the history of activism in Malaysia!

Gunasegaran Inquest 16 Dec 2009

Today’s hearing into Gunasekaran’s inquest saw the police officers giving their testimony. Their body language was the tell-tale signs of discomfort when questioned by lawyer Visvanathan.

Out of the blues and to the surprise of many, Visvanathan asked the coroner for the locus in quo (to visit the place where the cause of action arose) wanting to ascertain what had actually taken place, because the photos given by the police are vague.

The coroner granted the request.

Gunasegaran Inquest - 15 Dec 2009

Death at police custody - Gunasegaran Inquest for the 14th. and 15th. December 2009.

The sister and brother-in-law of the deceased, four reporters and two members from the public were present in today’s inquest.

Two police photographers took the witness stand and admitted that there were no photos taken to show the details of the external anatomy.

A warrant of arrest was issued for the absence of the arresting officer who was not in court this morning. The inquest was adjourned to tomorrow at 9.00 a.m.

M.Visvanathan, the counsel for the deceased family volunteered his services. Thank god that we have a lawyer like him to help those seemed to be left forgotten. Such revere virtue is hard to come by.

2nd Annual Civil Society Award - 2009

If we were to turn back the pages of time and ask what we had done for ourselves, it will not be a surprise to realize that there are “things” that have been left undone.

If we cannot get the “things” done for ourselves then how can we do “anything” good for another?

People tend to be excited easily when a tragic situation of another fellow human happens. But sad to say like the ebb tide, it disappears just as fast as it has come.


Be it from the individuals or groups, we are blessed that there are still concerned people out there who are selfless.

We are living in a chaotic world where we the people allow the rich and powerful to steal from us, the nation’s wealth, and the people’s self-respect yet we are willing to say nothing about it. We prefer to depend on others to fight the cause and choose to be the judge, jury and executioner in our own comfort zone.

Who are the “we” then? It can be anyone of us who falls in this category of disgust!

The Civil Society 2nd.Annual Award for those distinguished recipients has harnessed the belief that there is a quantum of headcount that has sprouted to stand up to what they believe in. Syabas!

Whiter The Constitution?

What's the fuss after all? How the State Constitution is interpreted and capitalised by those in power is all about the lessons to be learnt from the Perak crisis.

The forum at MBPJ Civic Centre on the 09 November 2009 saw MB Nizar, Prof. Dato Shaad and Constitutional lawyer Tommy Thomas presenting their views on the "hostile takeover" of the Perak government.

Caught Red Handed

Look at what he was doing would make you think twice to buy anything to eat at this "mamak" shop. He became conscious when he saw my video camera but unaware that I was recording his unhygienic way of packing the "papadum" but not him. Why unaware? It is his dirty habit that's why!

Wanting to open the plastic bag, he blew into it and walla! Then, he conveniently packed the pieces into the plastic bag. Just imagine his saliva and the amount of bacteria he had added to make what you are going to eat with the "extra flavour" coated with sugar, spice and everything nice!

The Magic Of White Christmas

This drawing was sent to me by Anthony Phun. Do not just look at the drawing but decipher the fine lines. You will see images as well.

Christmas is approaching and the magic is in the air. As usual, One Utama puts up the deco of the well-celebrated Christmas.

When the jingles continue to fill the air, it is like a transformation to the realm of serenity which is beyond words.

Walk A Mile In My Shoes

The world seems cruel when a desperate soul needs solace yet nowhere to go or there is no one to turn to. Walking down the street of "Come What May" is the common path to take by not knowing what is waiting at the other end.

There are too many Malaysians - man, woman and child, who are in such predicaments, but where to go from there or whom to turn to?

It is only the members of the caring society and politicians who know that they have to do something correct for their fellow Malaysians, and no matter what cases and no matter who you are!

Disastrous!

The gutsy stunt in the air.
