Walk On : A Tribute to All Who Work for Justice and Peace
It was an unforgettable night on November 9 for more than one reason and well documented. But there are many stories under the radar, while like many I rejoiced at the release of RPK, my heart was brought back to the ground when I “accidently” met Kak Laila with my friend Andrew Khoo when were…
“NegaraKu”: PJ Anti-ISA Candlelight Vigil and BERSIH one year anniversary Part 4
As the dust settles somewhat with more reactions and counter reactions, it’s good to relook at what happened on November 9, 2008 in slower motion.

Micah Monday: NegaraKu

Happy Birthday Ewan Kit Kye Ren!
Wow! Time really flies and today Ewan will be celebrating his one year old birthday! They say each child is unique , and whoever they are, they are right! Sometimes I wonder whether he will be the academic of the family, with Gareth so far demonstrating the artistic gene more, and Elysia oozing with activism…
