Finally we can see that the Malaysian Police Force is not a total waste of public money. Motivated by Umno-led government’s gracious move of granting a long overdue pay rise, the police repaid the favour with prompt action.
Barely 2 days after Umno made a police report against Malaysia Today, its editor Raja Petra was called […]

Kemaman is also famous for its local durians. Although I am not always very keen with durian, the taste was great as it reminded me durian […]

I traveled to Kemaman Terengganu last Friday 22 July. Kemaman or Kemamang as Terengganu’s locals pronounce it, borders with Pahang in the south. It is only 40 minutes from Kuantan. Demographically it is the most pluralistic parliamentary zone in Terengganu. In 1999 Rahman Yusof of KeADILan won the seat.
Kg Air Jernih, Kemaman
The first program I […]

About 2 weeks ago, a young passionate supporter of KeADILan requested me to blog about football. He said young people care more for football than politics.
He urged me to organize a group of KeADILan members to go to watch the Asian Cup matches.
“This is to show that KeADILan is with the young people,” […]

On Monday 16 July, I attended the launching of Said Zahari’s second memoir “Dalam Ribuan Mimpi Gelisah” and its English version “The Long Nightmare” at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka.

I […]
