Shape of a Pocket

The Nut Graph stops publication

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

July 28, 2014

After six years, The Nut Graph will cease publication from tomorrow onwards, making this column the last one to be published. Editor and co-founder Jacqueline Ann Surin explains why and highlights some achievements.

Najib’s failure

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

June 23, 2014

Considering Najib’s failures as prime minister and Malaysia’s direction under his leadership, was it really a tribute when he attributed who he is today to his dad Tun Abdul Razak Hussein?

What are the benefits of hudud?

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

May 12, 2014

Just what are the benefits of hudud? Its supporters should spell them out so that Malaysians can decide if the Islamic penal code is good for the country, and so that the electorate can make informed assessments about the politicians who are pushing for Malaysia to be an Islamic state.

Lying about unity

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

April 14, 2014

MUCH has already been said about how MH370’s mystery and tragedy has united the nation. However, the declaration of national unity and the call for citizens to remain united because of the tragedy, by Umno politicians in particular, is hypocritical and duplicitous.

Malaysia’s pursuit of anarchy

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

March 10, 2014

What do the recent attacks on Malaysiakini, the Federal Court, Teresa Kok and Comango tell us about what is going on in Malaysia? And how do we know that these attacks constitute an attempt at nurturing anarchy in the country?

The importance of “Allah”

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

February 3, 2014

Christians have been told that they should turn the other cheek and adhere to the ban on the use of “Allah”. Some others have also opined that Christians should back down so that temperatures don’t rise any further over this contentious issue. But the “Allah” issue, if uncontested, has far wider ramifications for all Malaysians than just Christians losing their constitutional right to worship peacefully.

“Allah”: The PR’s failure

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

January 13, 2014

IT’S not hard at all to be distressed by the BN federal government over the way the “Allah” issue has developed. That said, following the Jais raid on the Bible Society of Malaysia, it is equally troubling to see the PR’s failure in demonstrating it will and can uphold non-Muslims’ constitutional rights.

The cost of saving Utusan

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

November 25, 2013

IS there any incentive for Utusan Malaysia to stop reporting in a way that is racially polarising, defamatory and damaging to the nation? It would seem that the answer is ‘no’, not when Umno wants to bail out the ethno-nationalist paper, even at a cost to public interest and the nation.

October 2013

October 21, 2013

We apologise for factual errors made in Uncommon Sense with Wong Chin Huat: On the “Allah” judgement and in the Shape of a Pocket column entitled Wishing for another 13 May.

Wishing for another 13 May

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

September 16, 2013

There are groups who seem to be spoiling for another 13 May to happen in Malaysia. Whether they are politicians from Umno or non-state actors, the signs are mounting that another racial clash is what these individuals and groups want to have happen. What are these signs?
