PROPERTYMalaysiakini :: NATHANIEL TAN
- Open letter to Uthayakumar
new Adopt the tactics that are true to your principles of speaking truth to power and have a real chance of affecting change.
- Four days under the OSA
- My time with the police taught me that all the efforts to curb the excesses of the police and the government have proven extremely effective.
- Lina Joy: Lets not leap to polemics
- We can expect a lot of emotional responses to the recent ruling. In navigating the understandable amount of passion surrounding this issue, it is perhaps worth ensuring that the details of this judgement are properly understood.
- Letting Umno leak away
- May 13 and Umno's anniversary provide lessons on how to let Umno's worst excesses leak away while retaining the good elements in BN.
- Umnos politics of desperation
- Ijok showed in the starkest terms possible how far Umno is willing to go in order to stay in power. The core of this strategy is as simple as it is effective: violence.
- Shaping Malaysian realities
- To a cynic, existing reality is but the shackles by which they are eternally bound. To leaders, reality is nothing but clay waiting to be moulded.
- Criticise opposition but be open to its possibilities
- The debate here highlights once again a popular notion that Malaysians are caught between an 'evil' BN and a 'hopeless' Opposition.
- Jewish or BTN threat at USM?
- The government is creating a culture of fear centred on the creation of bogeymen all over the world who are out to 'get us.'
- UPM = Universiti Paling Malu?
- What message has the university sent by its failure to act against violence on campus?
- Burma: Being brave, breaking ground
- To realise real change in the brutal regime, Asean needs to recognise that constructive engagement has failed and that radical steps are not political impossibilities.
- A Malaysian road to press freedom
- Malaysia can learn a lot from neighbouring countries about better press laws, but may need to blaze its own path to bringing these about.
- IPCMC: Courage of the just
- The police have been entrusted with the near sacred task of defending the public's right to live in peace and in freedom. Without them, the word 'civilisation' loses much of its meaning.
