Posted on 30 August 2010 by Rama Ramanathan

At the end of question time, I asked Deputy Minister Datuk Liew “What will you report to your boss, Datuk Seri Nazri about this meeting?” He replied, “the truth.” When I asked him to elaborate, he said “trust me,” plus a bit of fluff and added no specifics.

Are We Blinded by Prejudice?
Posted on 30 May 2010 by Rama Ramanathan
“Prejudice blinds people. It makes us blame the very people from whom we need to learn the lessons we desperately need to learn. We are not ashamed of importing ethnic nationalism from Germany or Communism from China. We borrow expertise to help us plan projects from sanitation to satellites. But…
Naked in the Public Square
Posted on 24 May 2010 by Rama Ramanathan
“Mr Singhal, Mr Kesri and Mr Yadav deserve to be thanked for removing the ‘fig leaves’ from our politics,” wrote Dr Vishal Mangalwadi in his 1997 book India: The Grand Experiment.

Najib’s Sibu Dream
Monday 17th May was a difficult day of soul-searching for me. The Prime Minister (PM) of my country has been blatantly vote-buying, AND 18,447 of my fellow citizens seem to approve of the PM and his party. On Sunday, 18,447 voters in Sibu, Sarawak voted for the…

What Do You Say To Wake Him Up?
Posted on 19 October 2009 by Rama Ramanathan
On Radio Light FM, the host said: “You must know the right words to wake up a man.” A second lady said excitedly, “What are the right words?” The first lady replied “Football! Dinner!” I believe this snippet gives an insight into recent events in Bagan Pinang with respect to…
