Posted on 25 January 2009 by Sivin Kit

“Our country enters the phase of naked display of aggression. When a regime is morally bankrupt it will use immoral means to hold on to power. We might be weak but we still have the power of prayer & silent witnessing. . The unjust may break our bones but they…

Posted on 19 January 2009 by Sivin Kit

I’m intrigued by the responses and reactions generated by one rare petition I forwarded out to all my email contacts, perhaps my load of recent links sparked by the Gaza crisis, and also my participation in COMPLETE.

Posted on 13 November 2008 by Sivin Kit

Negaraku: PJ Anti-ISA Vigil Remembers The BERSIH Rally (1)

Posted on 13 November 2008 by Sivin Kit

I thought Sunday evening would end with a celebrative and a sober mood in the light of the release of RPK and the cause of abolishing the ISA, and remembering the unforgettable demonstration of the people’s voice in last year’s BERSIH walk. The first “original” planned gathering forced to be…

At the Abolish ISA Forum

Posted on 25 September 2008 by Sivin Kit

Posted on 18 September 2008 by Sivin Kit

On September 16, I decided to fly the Malaysian Flag. To be more precise, I used the one coloured by my 3 year old plus daughter and displayed it on my car. So much has been happening since the March 8th General elections, and in the light of more recent…
