Why am I attending vigils for Dr Jeyakumar and the EO6?

Posted on 14 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan

Last night I was again outside the HQ of the Malaysian Police. I keep wondering why I go. It’s as if I’ve been possessed. I know I will not enjoy anything else I attempt to do between 8 and 9 pm daily. I’m struggling to understand myself. Things came to…

My own perspective of 9th July Walk For Freedom

Posted on 12 July 2011 by Administrator

For me personally when the ruling authorities start telling blatant lies and oppressing the ordinary citizens in the country, they lose their moral authority to govern the nation. Once they lose the moral authority to govern, they can only do it through sheer brutal physical force which is what we…

The Discomfort Of Sitting On The Fence

Posted on 04 March 2010 by Goh Keat Peng
