There’s some buzz over at the Micah Mandate generated by my friend Alwyn Lau’s piece. Another friend Bob Kee has a more extended reaction with Being Christian Sometimes Sucks and added a nice graphic I thought it’s worth re-posting Alwyn’s thoughts and the comments over here for more conversation and reflection … * * *…

Micah Thursday: Citizenship
My apologies for my delayed updates on the Micah Mandate . We’re still in between the Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day season … so most of the articles relate to the theme of citizenship and other relevant issues! Enjoy … COMMENTARY HOW SHOULD WE RESPOND TO AHMAD ISMAIL? by Alwyn Lau “By inviting them to…
Save Our Judiciary Petition
Thanks Haris for the reminder… The plan is to deliver the petition to His Majesty on or about 15th September. That’s not very far off. Folks, put our judiciary in order and many of the ills we see around us will slowly start to self-correct. People who should not be charged will get acquitted. People…
Read While Waiting Project in the News
A kind friend told me this morning that he saw me in the Star newspaper last weekend (It’s ironic since I don’t buy the Star and read it when my wife brings it home from the office). So, I went to check it out and lo and behold I’m glad I look not that fat…

1st National Lutheran Conference 2008
I’m not someone into big "mega" events. But once a while, it’s good to see so many Lutherans come together slightly over 1000 adults and children from all over Malaysia. It was good to also have special guests from Australia and USA, of course, the speakers were from Singapore and there was a lone German…

To the arrogant Mr. Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar I wonder whether Mr. Home Minister will take these words to heart? We are not stupid. If you have grounds to say that Raja Petra is publishing “libellous, defamatory and slanderous” stuff, please take him to court and seek legal recourse. You are supposed to be…

Permatang Pauh: What BN leaders say A classic "you did not lose, and I did not win" kind of reaction 🙂 Merdeka comes to Permatang Pauh, Anwar on his way to Putrajaya? Susan Loone’s blog was another favorite of mine for this by-election. Rise of PP voters as pioneers of Bangsa Malaysia generation shaming Umno,…
