The Nut Graph stops publication

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | July 28, 2014 35 Comments

After six years, The Nut Graph will cease publication from tomorrow onwards, making this column the last one to be published. Editor and co-founder Jacqueline Ann Surin explains why and highlights some achievements.

Najib’s failure

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | June 23, 2014 2 Comments

Considering Najib’s failures as prime minister and Malaysia’s direction under his leadership, was it really a tribute when he attributed who he is today to his dad Tun Abdul Razak Hussein?

What are the benefits of hudud?

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | May 12, 2014 7 Comments

Just what are the benefits of hudud? Its supporters should spell them out so that Malaysians can decide if the Islamic penal code is good for the country, and so that the electorate can make informed assessments about the politicians who are pushing for Malaysia to be an Islamic state.

Lying about unity

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | April 14, 2014 Leave a Comment

MUCH has already been said about how MH370’s mystery and tragedy has united the nation. However, the declaration of national unity and the call for citizens to remain united because of the tragedy, by Umno politicians in particular, is hypocritical and duplicitous.

Malaysia’s pursuit of anarchy

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | March 10, 2014 1 Comment

What do the recent attacks on Malaysiakini, the Federal Court, Teresa Kok and Comango tell us about what is going on in Malaysia? And how do we know that these attacks constitute an attempt at nurturing anarchy in the country?

Uncommon Sense with Wong Chin Huat: Can Sabah and Sarawak secede?

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | March 3, 2014 24 Comments

There have been renewed calls for Sabah and Sarawak to assert its interests and rights within the federation of Malaysia. These calls have even included proposals to consider secession. The Nut Graph finds out what’s behind these calls and whether secession by any state in the federation would even be possible.

The importance of “Allah”

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | February 3, 2014 72 Comments

Christians have been told that they should turn the other cheek and adhere to the ban on the use of “Allah”. Some others have also opined that Christians should back down so that temperatures don’t rise any further over this contentious issue. But the “Allah” issue, if uncontested, has far wider ramifications for all Malaysians than just Christians losing their constitutional right to worship peacefully.

The cost of saving Utusan

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | November 25, 2013 14 Comments

IS there any incentive for Utusan Malaysia to stop reporting in a way that is racially polarising, defamatory and damaging to the nation? It would seem that the answer is ‘no’, not when Umno wants to bail out the ethno-nationalist paper, even at a cost to public interest and the nation.

October 2013

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | October 21, 2013 1 Comment

We apologise for factual errors made in Uncommon Sense with Wong Chin Huat: On the “Allah” judgement and in the Shape of a Pocket column entitled Wishing for another 13 May.

Uncommon Sense with Wong Chin Huat: On the “Allah” judgement

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | October 21, 2013 17 Comments

The Court of Appeal’s ruling in support of the government’s ban on non-Muslims using “Allah” was not unexpected. Dr Wong Chin Huat spells out the judgment’s far-reaching implications and posits that Sabahans and Sarawakians are the ones who are now poised to show Putrajaya what Malaysia needs most.
