“Death penalty will be abolished. Full stop.” These were the words of the de facto Law Minister Datuk Liew Vui Kong on the 10th of October, 2018, the 16th World Day Against Death Penalty. It was like a bolt out of the blue and to those of us who thought such a day will never […]

At best, I would consider myself a social drinker, a very occasional glass of wine with a meal and at most, a few pints of beer in a year and never to the point of intoxication. Thus, the reason I view with great concern the cancellation by DBKL (KL City Hall) of the Better Beer […]

Datuk Ambiga posed this question at the ASEAN People’s Forum on human rights – “What have we done to deserve this stifle of various freedoms by Putrajaya?” What a great question for us to ask ourselves and ask of this Barisan Nasional government.
