Even when Singapore came up with a booklet and broke confidentiality of negotiations on the water issue, it is still unwise for Malaysia to counter with a similar publication.

Former chief justice Dzaiddin Abdullah had tried his best to turn the judiciary around while at its helm. He failed. MGG PILLAI explains why.

Thirty minutes of horror and a year's worth of soul-searching have not brought the United States any closer to dealing rationally with terrorism. There are fears that its reactions may spark wider repercussions.

Unable to rebut well-reasoned opposition to the English issue, the government is forced to look for red herrings — "Chinese extremists" being a favourite. MGG PILLAI brushes that aside and argues instead that the new lease of life given to English must start amongst policy makers before it is applied to the nation.
