Mr Karpal Singh you are so darn right

In The Star paper today, an article appeared alongside the news bearing the long awaited outcome of the Atlantuya murder of which has plagued us for many months and years to effect:

The 2 UTK (Special Action Unit) personnel has finally been found guilty and as expected the case will be drawn longer with review when they make their appeals against the judgment. Karpal Singh in a separate article called for the mastermind to be charged with the murder as well. It is agreeable to a certain extent that these 2, although having carried out the ghastly and overly method(s) of the murder are mere pawns. In the absence of a motive for the murder, they are only accessories and tools to carry out the same. It is only logical that the real instigator and person behind them should be identified and brought to justice.

My Kind of PM

Respects (and Expects) the Crazy
The way he handles it is a true test of what kind of man he is.

Is Enthusiastically Curious
Gets up every day and is incredibly excited about whatever he's going to learn, whether it's politics or something else. He has to be interested in the rest of the world. Everything is so much bigger than we are.

Is Inherently Generous
You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats the people around him, whether it's a friend or just someone on the street. If you're a generous person, you're generous all the time."

Knows How to Merge
On Malaysian Unity, it has to be a merger, not a takeover.

Good bye Pak Lah

It is a sad day for Malaysia. Yours truly is really affected by having to bear witness, in my lifetime, of a great statesman Abdullah Badawi. In his last formal press interview as the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Pak Lah showed much of the great charisma he has from the days of the old. It is most unfortunate that most people consider him as a failed politician. I for one, beg to differ. If not because of Pak Lah there would not be so much freedom in the country. Those that do not condone his actions are the remnants of the old ways, for them power must be absolute and unquestionable. To me I studied history and learned of the struggles of our Malaysian forefathers. To our Bapa Malaysia (the late Tunku Abdul Rahman), Bapa Kereta (Mahathir Mohamad), and Bapa Kebebasan (Pak Lah), I salute you all and admire you all for making Malaysia what she is today. Hopefully Najib will assume the mantle of being the most powerful man in Malaysia with the support and devotion of the masses. He may yet become the wisest and best Prime Minister yet by attaining the title of "Father of Unity and Equality" with his One Malaysia Concept.

Ringgit Malaysia 2 Million Fine for Serious Offence

It was reported in the Malaysian daily The Star that 2 Malaysian women of Chinese descent were charged in court and fined a combined total of over RM2 million. According to the presiding judge the quantum of the offenses committed were unforgivable, serious, and the amount of the fine is justified to serve as a deterrents for any future similar cases.

The offense? Both were found guilty of being involved in pirated DVDs.

Compared to other well known cases here like Atlantuya and Cannie Ong both of which involved the loss of dear life, justice was deemed fair and swift in the war against piracy of this nature.
