Column That Wasn't http://rantingsbymm.blogspot.com/ (Used by permission) When we want to compete with anyone in any field we seek those who are better than us. And we keep going until finally we are recognized as the best. For example, a tennis player starts at the unranked bottom and tries to play and win against better players until finally there is nobody to beat.
We do not however insist that everybody comes down to our level or to play badly in order for us to win. |

PRESS STATEMENT
17 February 2010
SISTERS IN ISLAM CONDEMNS CANING OF
THREE MUSLIM WOMEN UNDER SYARIAH LAW Sisters in Islam (SIS) is shocked that the Prisons Department has caned three Muslim women for shariah offences.
Given that several issues on shariah and constitutional grounds, sentencing guidelines and Malaysia’s commitments to international human rights instruments that were raised on the Kartika case remain unresolved, we question the government's motive in proceeding with the caning of Muslim women.

SHARING THE NATION By ZAINAH ANWAR The arrest of a progressive ulama has plunged many Malaysians into further despair that this country is hurtling towards an implosion but it may prove a blessing in disguise.
What else needs to happen before our political leaders on both sides of the divide find the will and courage to walk the talk of seeing a plural, diverse Malaysia as a source of strength and not a threat? |

Given broad, vague guidelines that keep changing, publishers and authors are hard- pressed to decipher what books get banned.
ON March 9, 2001, a day after the start of the Kampung Medan clashes in Kuala Lumpur, Suaram chairperson K. Arumugam was chased by 20 motorcyclists when he drove into the area.

The issue of banned books was the main topic of discussion at a recent festival to celebrate the love of reading and the right to access information among young Malaysians, writes SUZIEANA UDA NAGU
YOU might think that young Malaysians — who spend more hours on the Internet than have their noses in a book — could not care less about the more than 1,500 titles that have been banned in Malaysia since 1971. |
