It seems that any means can be justified as long the enemy is defeated.

The Barisan National government’s decision not to adopt PAS’s motion for enhancing the punitive role of Syariah Courts dubbed as Act 355 is a relief not only for the common good of the nation, but also for the politics of consensus.

It was quite interesting to read an article by Professor P Ramasamy, the Deputy Chief Minister II of Penang, about the tunnel vision of MIC leaders and the subsequent response to the letter by Dr M Saravanan, a member of Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC). To my understanding both of them have a tunnel vision for the Indian Malaysians as their argument takes an ethno-political slant rather than facing up to the real issues that face Malaysians as a whole.

It is puzzling to watch the irrational behavior of certain civil society movements in the United States since the election of Donald Trump, and parts of the world which include Malaysia on their understanding and focus of human rights.

At the latest Bersih rally, thousands of Malaysians went to the streets to demand for a clean and accountable government, even though the inner objectives may vary among a diverse population. The plus point from this rally is that different segments of civil society leadership collaborated to make the event successful to proclaim truth to the Barisan National leadership on the universal principles of good governance.
