Why the government fears satire

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | September 20, 2010 8 Comments

WHY is the government charging someone for writing a satirical piece? On 2 Sep 2010, Irwan Abdul Rahman, a Malay Mail executive editor was charged over a blog posting entitled “TNB to sue WWF over earth hour.” Irwan’s posting on his website Nose4news was below a huge banner with the words “The truth is out […]

Kak Nora disingkir!

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | March 22, 2010 4 Comments

Di mana Kak Nora? (© vikush | sxc.hu) HIDUP saya sudah porak-peranda, hati saya gundah-gulana, dan fikiran saya haru-biru. Selama beberapa minggu kebelakangan ini, saya melayari laman TepiKain.com.my untuk sajian terkini daripada penulis pujaan saya, Kak Nora, tetapi hampa. Mula-mula saya fikir Kak Nora cuti, jadi dia berehat seketika daripada kolum nasihatnya. Apabila tulisan Kak […]

Nasihat tentang liwat

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | February 8, 2010 16 Comments

Tiba-tiba, setelah berjam-jam melayari internet, saya terjumpa satu laman web baru, www.tepikain.com.my, yang berkisarkan hiburan, gaya hidup, dan kemusykilan agama. Saya tertarik dengan ruangan nasihat untuk minggu tersebut. Saya rasa baik saya muatkan semula di sini kandungan soalan utamanya, sebab ia mungkin […]

You don’t mess with the Dewan!

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | November 18, 2008 2 Comments

(© Leaf / Dreamstime) ONE early morning two weeks ago, a group of 15 citizens from a Petaling Jaya constituency filed into a chartered bus. They carried blazers and jackets in varying states of crinkled-ness. Almost all were more alert than any amount of coffee could explain. James, an electrician by profession, had a digital […]

Repent, heretic!

[get_post_meta single=1 key="byline"] | November 4, 2008 2 Comments

IT has not rained for several days, so a swirl of dust rises up when the gang leader’s face hits the dirt. Syukur sneezes. He places a foot on the gang leader’s denim jacket, then casually lights a cigarette. The rest of the sticker-adorned, sneaker-shod delinquents, moving to help their chief, back away when Syukur […]
