Rewriting Muhyiddin’s script

By Jacqueline Ann Surin

February 19, 2010

I SOMETIMES wonder whether government leaders and politicians review what they have said in the media. Over the past few months, it seems that several leaders would benefit from paying attention to how their words are actually more applicable to themselves. The Nut Graph tried to demonstrate this through a series of comics that captured […]

Using the ISA

By Jacqueline Ann Surin

February 5, 2010

Who is being detained under the Internal Security Act? (Musa Hassan pic by Ridzuan Aziz | Wiki Commons) IMAGINE this. What if Teoh Beng Hock had been taken into the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)’s custody for questioning and nobody had known? And then imagine this. What if A Kugan‘s arrest and detention was also a […]

Beyond Apcet II

By Jacqueline Ann Surin

January 8, 2010

FOURTEEN years ago, I was arrested. I was among more than 100 local and foreign participants who were detained because we were involved in the Asia Pacific Conference for East Timor II (Apcet II) that was held in Kuala Lumpur in November 1996. Mind you, there was nothing illegal about Apcet II. Many would even […]

The truth about secrets

By Jacqueline Ann Surin

December 10, 2009

(Pic by Kriss Szkurlatowski / sxc.hu) TWO weeks ago, I could not help feeling that there was little difference between the Catholic Church and the Barisan Nasional (BN)-led federal government. Both these powerful institutions have one thing in common — both have cultivated a long-standing culture of secrets. With the church, the damage has been […]

Hishammuddin’s incompetence

By Jacqueline Ann Surin

November 20, 2009

HERE’S what I want to know: why was Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein appointed to the cabinet, and why is he still a minister despite an appalling track record of saying and doing the wrong things? Hishammuddin’s statements as Home Minister since he was sworn into Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s administration in April 2009, […]

Torture by any other fashion

By Jacqueline Ann Surin

November 6, 2009

IF we were to believe everything we read, one would think that torture or degrading behaviour, if done differently, would no longer constitute torture or degrading behaviour. Indeed, this is what Pahang’s Mufti Department would want Muslims and non-Muslims to believe. Scan of New Straits Times report on syariah caning On 26 Oct 2009, the […]

Where are Malaysia’s leaders?

By Jacqueline Ann Surin

October 23, 2009

Germans standing on top of the Berlin Wall in 1989; it would be torn down in the following days (Wiki commons) “WHAT I wonder is, where are our leaders? It seems as if there is nobody Malaysians can look up to for leadership,” the woman in the audience said. I was moderating a panel discussion […]
