All humans must know the smell of a rose; regardless of how it is spelt, ‘ros’ or rose. What does it mean we know the smell of rose? Does it mean we know the experience of its unique smell? And can we not then certify that ‘sirap ros’ seeks to emulate the same smell? Now, […]
As Christians, we often say, “do not follow other Christians”, just learn to follow Jesus Christ; which is the reason we are called Christian. In the book, ‘The Knights Templar & the Protestant Reformation’, it states that when Stanley Jones, a missionary, met Mahatma Gandhi he asked him: Mr Gandhi, though you quote the words […]
We are a country wherein we preach the rule of law but practice the rule by laws. In Malay we criticise “ cakap tak serupa bikin ,” but in everyday life we adopt a close one eye culture to most wrongdoing. Why? We are a country of laws; beginning with the highest law system documented as our […]
I am sick, tired, and disgusted with some Malaysians who tell others to leave the country , just because they do not like some views expressed by them. Worse still if they are elected members in public life; i.e. those who are expected to be the ‘representative leaders’ in this nation-state we call a democracy. Therefore, my […]
Blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) is a maverick of Malaysian politics; he is such a slippery eel with his brilliant logic that there are few who can take him on simply based on his logic and arguments using reason.

In ordinary life, it is argued that one generation is about 30 years. Therefore, me being already 60 plus, and my dad being 90 plus, and my grandchild being a week old; I need to now to look at life issues from a 4G perspective, especially to address lack of transparency in good governance at […]
Now, who is and is not a Malaysian? Does Umno decide this? Worse still, does Perkasa, or its cousin, Isma, decide this? This question needs to be now be truthfully taught in Malaysian history so that everyone knows who, what, and how the value of Malaysian citizenship is protected and preserved by UN Human Rights […]
I was rather amused to read the latest purchasing disaster apparently conducted by the Health Ministry.

What I do not understand is why it is so […]
