The four faces of 1Malaysia

By Wong Chin Huat

September 30, 2009

(Mooncake image by Mingwei / Dreamstime) DEPENDING on how you look at it, this article on national independence is either two weeks too late or 50 weeks too early. The two weeks after Malaysia Day on 16 Sept 2009, coupled with the Hari Raya mood, seemed peaceful and even boring by Malaysian standards. That is, […]

Ops Sikap

By The Nut Graph team

September 30, 2009

THE Hari Raya holidays have just passed and the results are out. As usual, the big numbers are still there, and are still disturbing. 2009’s Ops Sikap, the 20th one running since its start in 2001, saw 261 road deaths during this Aidilfitri period. On Sunday, 27 Sept, alone there were 23 fatalities on our […]

The maze of housing rights

By KW Mak

September 30, 2009

(Maze by mzacha; houses by Stanley Elliot / sxc.hu) URBAN settlers who have lived in an area for many years are increasingly finding themselves uprooted and displaced while being offered verbal promises of compensation. Rather than debate on whether the local council or the developer is in the right to do all these things, I […]

Not crazy, just a little unwell

By Nick Choo

September 29, 2009

DUE to the Influenza A(H1N1) outbreak, the public has been urged to avoid crowded places and to wear face masks when mingling with crowds. One supposes theatres, concerts and other arts events would certainly be affected. Dwindling audience numbers and show postponements would surely be the case. But has it been? How have pandemics in […]

Contesting Isa Samad

By Ding Jo-Ann

September 29, 2009

“Tan Sri Isa has already been found guilty. If Umno fields him, it means that Umno is not serious about such cases. Even if he can win there, [we] have to consider what the whole of Malaysia thinks of Umno … “One can win to become Umno president but it does not mean that he […]

Living with the Ahmadiyah

By Shanon Shah

September 29, 2009

Osman “WE have to live with those who do not accept Islam,” Emeritus Prof Datuk Dr Osman Bakar tells The Nut Graph in a phone interview. Osman, who is deputy chief executive officer of the International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (IAIS) Malaysia, says this applies to how Muslims treat Ahmadiyah as well. “The theological […]

The story of the Seaweed Lady

By Datuk Abu Bakar Jaafar

September 28, 2009

THE problems of ocean space and the environment are so closely interrelated that there is a need for such problems to be considered as a whole. A solution to the problems could be perhaps drawn from a case study: the story of the “seaweed lady”, Dr Kathleen Drew-Baker (1901-1957), who was a marine botanist at […]

A day with the “deviants”

By Shanon Shah

September 28, 2009

Corrected at 4:30pm, 30 Sept 2009 “FROM what we see, Islam [in Malaysia] appears like a one-way religion. But in the Quran, it’s not like this. Even if someone apostates, it’s not another human being’s right to persecute them,” Ainul Yakin Muhd Zin, 41, tells The Nut Graph. Perhaps this is why the sect that […]
