The LoyarBurok Movie Review: 4815 Merdeka Marathon – 1Piranha 3D & 2The American
Final 15 films of 2010 to look out for. Yes. Merdeka (for Malaya that is, the “real” Merdeka is 16 September!) has come to this. Nothing to shout about. Nothing to “race” but racism. Nothing to “politics” but politicking. Yawn … already a bore, and it’s now a chore. Indulging in film would more likely […]

Mari Cantas Dogma Kemerdekaan!
Hari Kemerdekaan di Malaysia nampaknya sudah menjadi klise hiburan yang dinanti-nantikan oleh rakyat saban tahun. Mungkin setelah 53 tahun mengecapi kemerdekaan, rakyat telah terperangkap dengan penafsiran Hari Kemerdekaan oleh pemerintah yang lebih berunsur ritualistik.

Drinking alcohol is ultimately an art in itself – to be able to handle your drink; to consume to be merry and yet to at all times preserve your self respect and dignity – that must never be lost and you must never encourage anyone to lose it either. Ever. That is unfortunately not what I saw last tnight.

On Thursday, 26 August 2010, the Shah Alam High Court dismissed a challenge by Nor Hisham Osman on the constitutionality of the charge against him under section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1988.

Is it time to let go of our Constitution?
Starting with the Perak Mufti’s now infamous remark about a “new Constitution”, then rebutted by Professor Dr Abdul Aziz Bari, a LoyarBurokker today flies us on a hot-air balloon, LB-styled. The courts have consistently ignored the Constitution and failed to uphold many of its protective provisions. The people have suffered. Is the Malaysian Federal Constitution a Document of Tyranny or one of Salvation? Is it time to let go of a Constitution which continues to protect only the elite and powerful?
