Hantu Laut GREETINGS FROM HANOI. Out of action the past five days, down with food poisoning while in Phnom Penh. Horrible! Horrible! On drip for 12 hours at private hospital in Phnom Penh.

It is tempting to gaze into the crystal to see what one hopes 2011 will be like. Well, less racial nonsense will be a very good thing. No prayer in the world will prevent excessive politicking from occurring in Malaysia. But, unlike straightjacketed places like Singapore or China, Malaysia has a vibrant democratic ethos. So, politics or, even the excess of it, is something we will all have to accept. That is not a bad thing if there is sufficient civility and a large dollop of good sense. pix from here. I, for one, am very proud of our great nation. No, it's not just because I cheered myself hoarse in both legs of the Suzuki AFF finals where our young Harimaus broke valiant Indonesian hearts.

Yahudi pun penjarakan pemimpin perogol. Di Malaysia, panas diperkatakan tentang seorang ahli politik (yang seperti Kastav adalah juga bekas Menteri Palancungan) terlibat kes merogol bekas amahnya. Laporan tersebut dibuat pada tahun 2007 dan dipercayai diperap oleh PM ketika itu. Betul atau tidak laporan NGO tersebut, wallahualam .. sepatutnya kita siasat dengan terperinci. Tak boleh biar orang tuduh pemimpin kita melakukan jenayah terkutuk tanpa siasatan. Tapi pasal kita dah tak siasat dan kes tu dah terpendam, sekarang ni tampak macam kita telah cuba mengabui mata rakyat. Kan ke susah diri sendiri?!

By Susan Lim In 1997 Karpal Singh accused Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of sodomy in parliament. He afterwards said in a DAP ceramah in Federal Hotel during a same year which he had proof which Anwar was concerned in sodomy. Today, he is defending Anwar opposite a allegation. So, did Karpal unequivocally believe which Anwar was guilty as charged then? Did or did Karpal not have a proof opposite Anwar then? Did Karpal distortion in parliament? Did Karpal distortion in a DAPs ceramah? Or is Karpal fibbing now?

Malaysia's #1 Migrant (Illegal), Mahathir Nainah Khan a/l ??? What’s more disgusting than the back alleys of Bukit Bintang? I’d say the way Malaysians treat migrant workers. Maybe it’s a holdover from our days being colonised by the British but too many Malaysians I meet see these people who work as maids, labourers and janitors as beneath them. Isn’t that rich? Malaysia was still a Third World country the last time I checked and these Malaysians see other fellow Asians as lower-class beings. Those Indons. These Banglas. Those others . All said with a condescending tone as though we, Malaysians, are somehow better than them. Let’s start with maids. Why do so many middle-class people act as though they’re entitled to maids? Somehow Malaysians have been brainwashed into thinking that paying these foreigners a pittance for doing a ridiculous amount of work is something they deserve. “I don’t see why I should give my maid a day off,” one woman told me. “I already take her ...

The night Malaysia won the Asean Football Federation Cup at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, I updated my Facebook status: A lousy football team beat another lousy football team. WOOPDEEDOO!!’ I’m sure you can imagine the barrage of comments that ensued. Although I was just trying to be funny by irritating Malaysia’s football fans, I did believe my statement. Some laughed along, agreed and supported me. But most of the comments that came were against what I had posted. A couple of people said that the Malaysian national team might not be world class yet, but this is a good start and I should give credit where it is due. But think about it. Malaysia was at a good international level in the 1970s and early 1980s and even qualified for the Olympics. But that was it. We’ve never reached that level since and have been playing at only Southeast Asian level. So after 30 years, how is winning the AFF Cup a “good start”? Then some other people accused me of only wantin...

He is appealing the overturning of the damages awarded him by a lower court in the hope that justice will be served as it... Businessman Mohamad Zamri Ibrahim, who was among four others wrongfully arrested in relation to the murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin in 2007, is demanding justice after the damages awarded to him and his brother-in-law Mohd Suhaimi Yusoff were overturned by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur. In August this year, Mohamad Zamri, 36, and his brother-in-law were awarded damages by KL Sessions Court judge Sabariah Othman for wrongful arrest and the injuries they suffered during their detention.

Can the roar of the young Malaysian tigers bring back the glory days of the 70s and 80s? Was Malaysia's AFF Suzuki Cup win last night, after 14 years, the start of a new era for Malaysian football? Can the roar of the young Malaysian tigers bring back the glory days of the 70s and 80s when Malaysia ruled the stage in Asian football? These were among questions Malaysian football fans who watched the Malaysian side achieve a memorable win in the AFF Suzuki Cup by beating Indonesia 4-2 on aggregate in the two-leg final, would be asking themselves. Possibilities of Malaysia making the grade in Asia can become a reality if the national team continued to perform like what they did in the AFF Suzuki Cup competition. Defeat after defeat at regional tournaments and failure after failure at international tournaments has seen Malaysian football remain in the doldrums for a long time, raising the ire of fans.

JAG Joint Action Group For Gender Equality (JAG) is greatly concerned with recent announcement in Star (Dec 29) that the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) intends to take action against Azwan Ismail for posting a video on YouTube entitled “I'm Gay, I'm OK” as part of a video campaign launched in response to accounts of suicides and attempted suicides by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) teenagers and adults. We are appalled that government authorities have not condemned the threats of murder and violence against Azwan Ismail and other members of Seksualiti Merdeka who were involved in the campaign, but instead have fanned violence and hatred with homophobic and discriminatory statements. Women have never been strangers to discrimination. That is why women's groups seek to uphold Article 8 of the Malaysian federal constitution that clearly guarantees that, “All persons are equal before the law and entitled...
