I came across this article entitled ‘Mahathir’s Cheap Apology’ in The Malay Mail Online’s What You Think column last week and I must say that going by that article, it is sad to know that there are still people out there who do not understand the concept of sweet surrender.

While most Malaysians agree that racial inclinations do not or should not have a place in modern politics, especially in a multiracial country like Malaysia, the newly set-up Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia has raised some talking points.

My dear fellow Malaysians,
Recently there has been much talk on the civil lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice and its implications on Malaysia. There is so much speculation flying around on the parties involved and named in the suit. I think it is high time and only proper that I come out and make a statement.

Recently it was reported that PAS ulama chief Mahfodz Mohamed had said that all states can opt to implement stricter Shariah court punishments if the so called ‘Hudud Bill’ is passed.

0The Indian Supreme Court’s ruling in the Maneka Gandhi versus Union of India case [Maneka Gandhi vs Union of India, (1978) 1 SCC 248 : AIR 1978 SC 597 : (1978) 2 SCR 621] was a turning point in the interpretation of the right to life and personal liberty enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian constitution.
