Will you help them see the light?

Posted on 27 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan

God said “let there be light.” And it was so. Likewise, the Home Minister in Malaysia may say “Let him be detained forever.” And it will be so. The EO makes men into gods. The EO makes members of the ruling elite into gods. So what is the EO? It’s…

Movement of the moderates

Posted on 22 July 2011 by Administrator
