He has shown all you people what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God.
- Micah 6:8And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God.

Malaysia: Strive for the fairest mechanism in wage consultation
Posted on 11 November 2010 by Lee Hwok Aun
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has acknowledged that the era of government knows best is over. Now we need the government to know better.
The government should know better than to declare the end to “government knows best” but then flash a megaproject pageant that we are supposed to…
Please pray for all who suffer
Posted on 11 November 2010 by Goh Keat Peng
Following the seizing of a Catholic Cathedral in this last week in which 44 people including 34 members of the congregation were killed, there have been more attempts in the past day. These latest attacks which targetted Christian homes in different neighbourhoods of Baghdad involved the use of two mortar…
Blueprint for a new nation
Posted on 10 November 2010 by Thomas Fann
The Introduction
It’s intriguing. If we are given a chance to build a new nation from scratch, how would we build it? What would it look like?
Imagine that we are a boatful of people from all walks of life, multi-cultural, multi-religious and multi-skilled. We found ourselves on this boat…
What Zaid should do
Posted on 10 November 2010 by TK Tan
I have watched Zaid with interest since his efforts to restore judicial integrity as a minister in Abdullah’s cabinet. I like it when a man tries to do what he thinks is right and when he finally resigned from the cabinet after realizing that he was not going to get…
Luke 24:45
Posted on 08 November 2010 by Peter Young
‘Then Jesus opened their minds so that they could understand the Scriptures.’ (Luke 24:45, NIV)
Let us ask Jesus Christ to do this for us each time that we read the Scriptures. Then we will see a change both in us and around us.…
An example of moderation
Posted on 08 November 2010 by Peter Young
The sister-in-law of former prime minister Tony Blair has converted to Islam following a visit to Iran, saying she is a “proud member” of the Muslim community.
Lauren Booth has given up alcohol and pork, prays five times a day and has not ruled out wearing a burqa in the…
The thing about viewpoints
Posted on 07 November 2010 by Goh Keat Peng
As I read a sports commentary on England vs NZ All-Blacks, it becomes quite clear how the view from an onlooker looking down from his seat in the terraces of Twickenham Stadium and that of a player on the field is really very different.
“…a fast flat pass left from…
Ruminations
Posted on 06 November 2010 by Vinoth Ramachandra
Earlier this week I visited the de-militarized zone on the border between North and South Korea. This is the last frontier of the Cold War, and the zone is anything but de-militarized. The tension is palpable. South Korean guards stand to attention facing the north, their roving eyes hidden behind…
The prerogative of choice
Posted on 05 November 2010 by Goh Keat Peng
This we have to admire about the more established democracies: that there is no monopoly about which party will form the government of any level. The two or more main parties or coalitions of parties have reasonable chance. The people are not saddled effectively with just one choice. In recent…
Misconstruing the Constitution – let’s stop doing it!
Posted on 04 November 2010 by Ramon Navaratnam
The Malaysian constitution has been misinterpreted and misconstrued after 1970 in a wide ranging and consistent manner. Hence it has led to polarisation and exclusiveness that has built disunity into the Malaysian polity. This negative trend has been reinforced by the intrinsic promotion an subtle practice of “ketuananship” or Malay…
Reading Tun Dr Mahathir
Posted on 04 November 2010 by TK Tan
I read with interest TDM’s article entitled “Perkasa and me” and marveled at his ability to twist facts to suit his point of view. So I thought it would be an interesting exercise to pick out some of his key statements (or omissions).
The article starts by analyzing the present…
