Dear Mr. Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar,

We are not stupid. If you have grounds to say that Raja Petra is publishing “libellous, defamatory and slanderous” stuff, please take him to court and seek legal recourse.

Many thought, nay hoped, that after the 8th March general elections, you and your friends in BN would have come to understand the meaning and the force of people power.

A walk down the Yellow Brick Road of Malaysia's Corridor of the future

by Bernice Low, Malaysia

On March 8th, Malaysians voted in rejection of political hegemony and the arbitrariness and excess that it had allowed for.

After 51 years of mismanagement by the Barisan Nasional government, our nation has totally lost its dignity. But on the 26th of August 2008, a flame was lit in Permatang Pauh to dispel the darkness and gloom in our country. The people have entrusted this flame to Anwar Ibrahim who will carry it to Parliament and hopefully to Putrajaya, to enlighten the whole nation and return our long lost dignity.

Beware of lecturing others; you may have to learn that same lesson.  And sooner than you may think!

Zorro, RPK, Gus and I had the easy part of the work.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE (THE BARISAN RAKYAT BLOGGERS) WHO TRIED TO GIVE YOU THE NEWS THAT MATTERED DURING THE PERMATANG PAUH BY-ELECTION. IT WAS MY PLEASURE TO WORK WITH THESE MEN AND WOMEN. THEY HAD PASSION.

Tomorrow is the D Day for The mother of all by elections , the Permatang Pauh Parliamentary seat contest.

Man, did RPK kick ass at the ceramah at Sembilang last night!

Life is about involvement. Yes, there is legitimacy in leisure, rest, sleep, even standing still. But only in the context of work and involvement. When Jesus said, “Come unto me … and rest”, he was speaking to those “who labour and are heavy laden”.

MALAYSIAKINI reported that PERMATANG PAUH by election candidate from BN, Arif Shah Omar Shah has stopped pursuing his PhD degree after questions were raised over his academic credentials.

Last night, while I was in Seberang Jaya, I couldn’t help noticing a number of BN road-side ‘operations centres’ that were deserted.

Apart from the Shot Put which is an Olympic sport which could be traced back to the games of Ancient Greece, the art of stone-throwing is not particularly a special skill requiring loads of talent and practice.

Having identified one of the main sources of public disenchantment, the BN-led government, with one eye firmly on the Permatang Pauh by-election campaign, has cut the price of petrol from RM2.70 to RM2.55 - a reduction of 5.6 per cent.
