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.

Big fishes

Last week when I read theSun’s article on the arrest of Tun Dr Ling (TDL) over the PKFZ scandal, one interesting bit turned up:
When asked about more arrests in January Abdul Gani had told theSun: “You don’t swindle that kind of money if you’re not a big fish. So…

Posted on 09 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.
Last night,…

I was going to write about this matter of allowing graduate teachers participate in politics. For those of you in the dark about this, the Chief Secretary had recently announced that from 1st August onwards, graduate education service officers (teachers) on grades DG41 to DG48 will be permitted to engage…
An important judicial review
Posted on 02 August 2010 by Peter Young
Indira Gandhi, a Hindu kindergarten teacher, has been enduring a mental, emotional and legal battle since her husband K Pathmanathan became a Muslim and took the name Mohd Rizduan. It may be a long time, (or possibly never!), before a peace treaty can be signed.
And what about the well-being…

When I read the report of what Penang Chief Minister said about Penang state development officer (SDO) Nik Ali Mat Yunus, I remember being taken aback by the directness of his criticism. But I also remember that he very clearly outlined the issues that he had with the SDO. I…
Kad Pengenalan Malaysia – 1Malaysia?
Posted on 26 July 2010 by Peter Young
I am not well-versed in modern technology but I understand that our identity cards contain an embedded microchip. This provides all the information displayed on our MyKad – but it also has the details of our religion. Religious beliefs are only publicised on the identity cards of Muslims, where the…
The East-West Divide
Posted on 26 July 2010 by Christopher Chong
It is very rare for a church to organize any public event that even hints at a political theme.

There were many issues this past week that I had wanted to comment upon. The Deputy Prime Minister’s assertion that UMNO’s struggle not over until 30pc Bumi target met implied commitment until you realize that UMNO had decades with the target as official government policy and still (according to them)…

Jeremiah 23: 23-24
23 “Am I only a God nearby,”
declares the LORD,
“and not a God far away?
