And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God.

Christians And Democracy
Posted on 26 October 2009 by Christopher Chong

September 16: No Cure For Being Shortchanged
Posted on 21 October 2009 by Erna Mahyuni
Another public holiday? You would think Malaysians from Sabah and Sarawak in particular would be a little bit more enthusiastic about Hari Malaysia (Malaysia Day) being celebrated as a national holiday on Sept 16 from next year.

There’s No Avoiding Politics
Posted on 12 October 2009 by Rama Ramanathan
Our understanding of politics is coloured by our thoughts of politicians. For most Malaysians, politicians are “persons who strive for power by manipulation.” So, when we hear “politics,” we recall a way of living symbolized by contracts to cronies, datukships to developers and ego maniacs. However, politics really means “public…

Having A Refuge But Not Being A Refuge
Posted on 12 October 2009 by Peter Young
1. Having A Refuge
