Bangsaku
Janji yang kita meterai lama dahulu
Di kala kita bertungkus membina sebuah negara
Bahu ke bahu
Bersama sebagai saudara
Lupa kita pada janji kita ini?

The Lingam charade ends at judiciary’s expense 29 October 2009
by Daniel Albert
The refusal by the Attorney-General’s Chambers to take any further action or proffer charges against any of the six named individuals involved in the Lingam video clip fiasco has received scathing criticism from the public – and rightly so.
This pre-mature attempt to close official investigations into this matter is an affront to the judiciary and a slap in the face to us all.
In the beginning… the MyConstitution (PerlembagaanKu) campaign trail 28 October 2009
by Edmund Bon Tai Soon (Chairman of the Bar Council Constitutional Law Committee)
These past few months have been immensely hectic. The Malaysian Bar is extremely fortunate to have a pool of incredibly talented, young and energetic group of lawyers, pupils-in-chambers, and students working night and day on this Campaign. From the words “let’s move”, the action has been continuous, non-stop, and it has been difficult to keep up with even the emails!

Yeoh Yen Kee
Recently, I came across news about 19-year old, Yeoh Yen Kee. She obtained 11As for SPM, and was to pursue her dream to study medicine. She was awarded a scholarship to study in the Czech Republic.
However, in 2008, she was diagnosed with leukemia and could not proceed with that plan. After undergoing chemotherapy, and another relapse, she was told that she needed a bone marrow transplant. Despite numerous attempts, efforts to find a donor were in vain. Finally, through the National Marrow Donor Programme Registry in USA, her family managed to find a suitable donor.

Law for All 3 September 2009
For the 1Malaysia concept to work, there has to be equal treatment of people by the judiciary regardless of race, religion, wealth or political influence.
A FEW weeks ago, two minors were detainedby the police. According to the law, they must be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours of their arrests. They can only be detained further if the magistrate grants a remand order.
I went to the police station as one of the lawyers representing one of the minors in the remand application before the magistrate.
Aku, S dan beberapa gelas minuman 3 September 2009
Malam itu aku bercadang untuk membawa kereta ke car wash yang berdekatan. Sudah tiga minggu aku tidak basuh kerata. Mataku sakit melihat tompok-tompok kotor di badan keretaku. Aku menelefon S (bukan nama sebenar) dan mengajaknya menemani aku sambil menunggu keretaku dibasuh. Malang bagiku, car wash yang ingin aku kunjungi sudahpun tutup. Aku membuat keputusan untuk singgah di restoran daun pisang bersebelahan dengan car wash tersebut. S tiba tidak lama kemudian. Aku memesan teh-o dengan pelayan restoran dan S pula segelas ais kosong.

“In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Praise be to God, the Lord of the Universe and may the blessings and peace of God be upon his messengers.
And whereas the time has now arrived when the people of the Persekutuan Tanah Melayu will assume the status of a free independent and sovereign nation among the nations of the world;
Retro post: 21 August 2007– “Bickering Before Merdeka” 30 August 2009
We all know that in a few days time, we will be celebrating our 50th year of independence. In view of that, I’d like to say a few words to my fellow Malaysians. Be warned that I will use some very strong language, and for that I apologize beforehand, but I feel that I really need to get these issues of my chest.
