0Beware the demands of 916
comment
The demand to celebrate Sept 16 by the people of Sarawak and Sabah is an expression of their political will to reinterpret the Malaysian nationhood and it should not be simply chucked aside.

comment
When the degree of national joy on Independence Day is measured by how much money is available to make things happen, something is seriously wrong with our country.

0Crossroad for the Chinese - again!
0The Labour pain of transition
0Beware of man, not hungry ghosts!
0Keep your cool!
0Cooking up a storm
0Much ado about sexuality
Whatever two consenting adults do within the privacy of the four walls is their business.
What they do may be wrong morally but t
he government has no business sending in morality policemen to snoop on their extra-curricular activities.
0Is ethics possible without religion?
Since God is worshipped as being absolutely good, all moral judgements must use God's absolute goodness as a standard.
0A season for rebellion
A little peaceful and non-violent rebellion is a good thing for democracy in Malaysia. It may even compel the prime minister to act.
0An interlude
There is no limit to the number and variety on themes and subjects which the columnist can write about, as long as he thinks it will entertain, inform, and perhaps educate.
0Food for the soul
Books in your personal library are indeed old friends, whom you have met and cherished through those long years. They sit there quietly, on the shelves, never imposing, but always ready to inform, entertain, and educate.
0Unhappy days are here again!
Most Malaysians in the urban middle-lower income group would probably try to cope by tightening their belt and pinching pennies. Will this set off a round of reduction in domestic demand and dampen growth?
0Remembering the forgotten Dayaks
Life is still a hard struggle for our Dayak brethrens, but at least they still have this day all to themselves, called Gawai Dayak Day, affirming again their place on this good earth.
0Make a better Parliament
Unlike past parliaments, a great deal of public expectation is riding on the current crop of MPs, especially those sitting on the swollen opposition benches.
0Looking east - to Sabah and Sarawak
If Sarawak and Sabah MPs should jump from the BN to Pakatan, then so be it.
Who knows? This development may even be good for national integration!
0Umno must go!
What Karpal wants is a clarification based on the rule of law. What Umno wants is the rule of nameless, baseless, and perhaps non-existent 'sensitivities'.
0Taking stock of change
The possibilities for the opening up of Malaysian democracy are limitless and frankly, I am optimistic.
0Whom should we trust?
The question is not so much whether we can trust Anwar Ibrahim or any other leading political figure but whether we can trust our good judgement, our wisdom, our instinct, and our collective strength in determining our own fate.
0Fire on the roof of the World
China has not yet stepped over the threshold of a Third World nation, if the handling of the Tibet crisis is anything to go by.
0Birth pain of a new media?
If you had followed the elections through the government and government-controlled television stations and newspapers, you would have thought that the opposition parties did not exist.
0The thaw and the new sultans
The institution of the Malay ruler has been tested by the new realities brought on by the results of the 2008 general election.
