The Short Shrift

Is it about drink-driving or pushing a religious agenda?

The way some of our politicians are getting worked up about the whole drink-driving issue makes me wonder whether other agendas are driving the issue. Let’s get one thing straight: drink-driving (or driving while intoxicated) is just plain wrong. It endangers innocent lives and must never be tolerated. Many countries have very strict drink-driving laws […]

Crooks, the whole lot of them

The slew of accusations now being traded between former leaders about corruption, nepotism and malfeasance in office has, no doubt, confirmed what most Malaysians have long suspected: that their leaders are all corrupt and untrustworthy.

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
