Do not abolish the ISA

Written by J Shamsul, Wednesday, November 5, 2008 | 2

The Malaysian Internal Security Act (ISA) is there for a reason. I strongly urge the powers to be or the would be powers to be, NOT to abolish the ISA.

I am saying this specifically to the oppositions parties. All of what these guys had achieves were thanks to the Malaysian Internal Security Act (ISA).

If there were no ISA, if the ruling government had never bothered to throw people, most of them are oppositions party members, into ISA detaining centers, do you think the rest of the Malaysian people (the rakyat) would have heard all their voices? No.

Political debate on TV great spot for advertising

Written by J Shamsul, Thursday, July 17, 2008 | 0

Fuel Price Banner 2Today, the day after the live debate between opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek, everybody seems to be talking about it. It’s a hot conversation during breakfast, it’s the conversation around the office water cooler, it’s the conversation during lunch.

It’s as if the whole nation on that night was watching the live show. This is bigger then Akedemi Fantasia. Little children was ‘shhh’ so that their parents can hear these politicians debate. I don’t think even the Euro 2008 finals get this much attention.

I did not plan to watch the debate as I got other thing to do, but I keep getting Tweets about the debate. I end up watching it online instead.

Looking at the outcome of the debate, an invisible light bulb above my head just light up. It is a gold mine. It is a prime spot on television. Companies all should go crazy in getting an advertisement spot during the debate. A lot of advertising money could be made here.

Culture clash during anti-oil hike rally

Written by J Shamsul, Wednesday, July 9, 2008 | 0

Last weekend we saw a culture clash. In Malaysia, indie punk rock scene doesn’t mix well in our socio-political movement. A protest against the recent petrol price rise was held at Kelana Jaya Stadium leads to a unwelcome event.

The highly choreographed buttocks antics of Carburetor Dung’s singer while performing the song “Mari Nyanyi Menjilat“, normally would be a crowd pleaser, but not to the crowds at the Kelana Jaya’s protest.

I am not a big fan of politics. I don’t pay much attention to the politic-o-sphere but I do try to keep a keen eye on the blog-o-sphere. See how I’m creating words as I go along, I’m cool in that way.

I don’t read political based blogs. I try to avoid them like cats avoid water. However, when Tun Dr. Mahathir starts to blog (www.chedet.com), it’s difficult to ignore.

Here is to majoritarianism and a divided Malaysia

Written by J Shamsul, Sunday, March 9, 2008 | 1

Election 1 Lomo

Yesterday, many Malaysian go out and cast their votes on who they choose to represent their voice on the Malaysian Government. Majority of the population will decide the future of the country and the minority would just have to respect the majority’s decision. At least that is what they say.

I however, didn’t participated in this parliamentary election process.

I choose not to vote because I am against majoritarianism. Against the traditional political philosophy which asserts that a majority of the population is entitled to certain degree of primacy in society, and has the right to make decisions that affect the society.
