cow-head protest

The BN’s projects

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

August 6, 2010

“SATU lagi projek Barisan Nasional”. That’s the tagline that often graces billboards announcing projects that the BN government has funded. It’s a tagline often used during elections to help the ruling coalition convince voters of its commitment towards development. But after yet another unnecessary police crackdown on peaceful demonstrators protesting 50 years of the Internal […]

Should offensive ideas be penalised?

By Wong Chin Huat

February 10, 2010

I AM offended by Datuk Nasir Safar‘s “beggars and sex-workers” remark about non-Malay Malaysians. But I would not agree with those who have called for him to be charged under the Sedition Act, detained without trial or stripped of his citizenship. I am therefore pleased by the sober voices of DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit […]

MCMC: “We’re just doing our job”

By Ding Jo-Ann

October 20, 2009

Mohamed Sharil Mohamed Tarmizi IT has been more than a month since the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) investigated Malaysiakini for putting up two video reports — one about the 28 Aug 2009 cow-head protest and the other depicting the home minister’s defence of the protesters in a press conference.

Jay Cee, the cow, speaks up

By The Fairly Current Show

September 17, 2009

MUCH has been written and debated about the Shah Alam cow-head protest. Members of the Section 19 and 23 communities, politicians, provocateurs, bloggers, the traditional and online media, the international media, concerned Malaysians, ugly Malaysians, beautiful Malaysians — they’ve all had their say. But one voice remains unheard. The most important voice. This week, The […]

Hopes for Malaysia Day

By Ineza Roussille

September 16, 2009

I WAS one of those who visited the Sri Maha Mariamman temple in Section 19, Shah Alam on 4 Sept. The visit, comprising a small group of about 30 Malaysians, was initiated as an act of solidarity with the Hindus on the receiving end of the now infamous cow-head protest a week earlier. We brought […]

No Islamic prohibition against temple

By Ding Jo-Ann

September 11, 2009

PARTICIPANTS of the 28 Aug 2009 cow-head protest claim that a Hindu temple cannot be built in a Muslim-majority area as this would affect the way they function as Muslims. Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim was even labelled a “traitor to the Malay race and Islam” because of the state government’s proposal to […]

Addicted to violence

By Wong Chin Huat

September 9, 2009

(Syringe image by Yosia Urip; pills by Richard Dunstan / sxc.hu) WE have celebrated Merdeka Day and will usher in Malaysia Day, the real national day, just a week from now. But why are we celebrating the birth of our nation? Indeed, why celebrate the birth of any nation? This is not another article lamenting […]

Muddying the cow-head protest

By Deborah Loh

September 9, 2009

“They should have listened to the residents first. It would not have come to this if they had a dialogue with them about the relocation.” HOME Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, blaming Selangor’s Pakatan Rakyat-led government for the 28 Aug 2009 cow-head protest against the relocation of a Hindu temple in Section 23, Shah Alam. […]

One rule for all, please

By MCCBCHST

September 8, 2009

THE Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) notes with deep concern that the cow-head incident in Shah Alam is not an isolated case. Another recent example of this kind of insensitivity was when the holy eucharist was desecrated when certain persons went to a church, took the consecrated bread, and […]
