“Allah”: The PR’s failure

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

January 13, 2014

IT’S not hard at all to be distressed by the BN federal government over the way the “Allah” issue has developed. That said, following the Jais raid on the Bible Society of Malaysia, it is equally troubling to see the PR’s failure in demonstrating it will and can uphold non-Muslims’ constitutional rights.

By Ding Jo-Ann

October 7, 2013

OUR Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his government seem to have had a personality change.

Breaking the cycle of polarised politics

Work in Progress by Hwa Yue-Yi

July 1, 2013

GE13 has come and gone, but the partisan blame game continues. How do we “move on”? Are more rallies the answer? The challenge really is for the rakyat to be more democratic than either the government or the opposition – in the hope that, over time, our politicians will follow our lead.

Where does Malaysia go from GE13?

Work in Progress by Hwa Yue-Yi

May 20, 2013

SOME countries move from relatively democratic systems to more authoritarian ones such as Malaysia in the 1970s. Others from authoritarianism toward democracy. What can the experiences of these other countries tell us about where we go from GE13? And what choices lie ahead of those who want change?

By Ding Jo-Ann

May 13, 2013
