Lynas
The Lynas protests reminds one of the Bhopal disaster in India when Union Carbide's factory caused 3787 deaths (some estimates counted 11,000)
Why we continue the inherited barbaric British flogging for punishing illegal foreign workers is beyond understanding. To say that 24 strokes of the rattan is inhumane is an understatement if one remembers that most pass out after the first strike, which draws blood from the buttocks.

Free Port
There is now talk of restoring Penang's Free Port. Its abolition was one of the irrational and irresponsible acts of Tunku Abdul Rahman, accompanied by a silly statement that the free port benefited only the Chinese. Result: the ten ships seen in the harbour each day sailed off to Singapore (who should remember this and build a monument to him)

When the authoritarian controllers of the university don't like a student activity they label it as an act "tarnishing the image of University Malaya" They should instead have condemned attacks on students with tear gas and water cannon as barbarities spoiling the "image" of the country, where the police state continues its brutal suppression of liberty and helps define 1Malaysia as a 1Police State.
To those who mourn the death of mamak mee, cheer up! A new stall has come into a Tanjong Tokong hawker centre which fries a good version of the stuff. It's not up to the class of the Northam Road stall but nevertheless it's better than what we have been offered these past few years.
