This first volume is called "The Allah Controversy and other essays on Malaysian hypermodernity." It contains products of my latest period of reflections on the society, framed from a world view I have lived in and familiar with.

The topics touched on issues such as the ongoing linguistic controversy surrounding the use of the term "Allah" in the Bahasa Melayu version of the Bible, the state of affairs as Malaysia approaches a most exciting general elections, the fate of the ruling party and UMNO, education of the children of the "stateless Malaysians of Tamil origin,", Biro Tata Negara as a master indoctrinator and promoter of divisive politics, politics and philosophy of science in our development plan, on the issue of mother-tongue language, cognition and educational progress, the notion of a "successful failure" in our schooling system such as in the MARA schools, and a range of other topics framed from a "hybridic, heteroglossic, and hypertextualized" perspective with a good dose of contemporary cultural, political-economic, and informational theories alluded to.

These pieces of writing represent my commitment to looking at society in newer ways and to offer novel perspectives that policy-makers and opinion leaders can use. They are mildly academic in nature but accessible as well to anyone who wish to read about Malaysian issues written in "newer language"; from a hybrid view drawn from the fields of anthropology, philosophy, political science, education, history, literature, and cybernetics. In short this volume manifests itself kaleidoscopically.

Plot to oust Musa Aman - Part 1

Posted: 26 May 2013 12:33 PM PDT

Sometime in late 2007, a group of businessmen approached Sabah CM Musa Aman to discuss ways they could explore and benefit from the state's lucrative oil & gas industry.

Now, these are the same group of people who benefitted greatly from the state's timber resources via Yayasan Sabah and other channels for many, many years.

The Sabah reforestation plan and conservation programme that was put in action by Musa's government was taking a toll on this group of businessmen.

They could not make as much money as before and therefore, needed another cash cow.

Unlike the millions they made in the timber industry, the petroleum industry has the potential to make them billions!

Sabah has Malaysia's top oil reserves and the Sabah Basin is projected to produce oil for a much longer period than any other oil-producing states in Malaysia.

All they had to do was get Musa's blessings and the money from the petroleum industry would start pouring into their coffers.

But the unimaginable happened.

Najib's violation of any agreement is expected

Posted: 26 May 2013 12:27 PM PDT

The revelation by Yusuf Kalla one time deputy president of Indonesia has produced not a few rushed judgements. For those who have in-built prejudices against Anwar will recall that Anwar is such and such a fellow. Most of these perceptions were formed a long time ago and some formed after one or two encounters.

I have met Anwar only once in person and that was last year when he was already entrenched in the role as opposition leader. I wasn't interested to form a personalised perception of Anwar preferring to judge and assess him on his thinking, ideas and articulation. His darker side if it exists is none of my concern. I am never a fan of Anwar but as I have said if more people believed in him that those who don't, there is nothing anyone can do about it. As it is, more people like Anwar than Najib and that is why PR got 51% of the popular votes. That translates into nearly 500,000 human beings rejecting Najib.

As I have also said before, in the context of sexual dalliances, the person he is compared with is just as heroic as he is. That, if we believe all those insinuations about Anwar are true. If they are, then they are equally true about poster boy Najib.
