theonlinecitizen Steven Gan from Malaysiakini: "Along the way, we gave Dr Mahathir Mohamad a
pain in the neck. We gave Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's spin-doctors a run
for their money. Looking ahead, we intend to put Najib Abdul Razak's
1Malaysia to the test." Job well done guys.

Andrew Loh Reading the comments on this thread on TOC ( http://theonlinecitizen.com/2009/11/president-rejects-clemency-petition-for-yong-vui-kong/#comments ), I have mixed feelings. I am glad that most of the comments are supportive of the abolition of the death penalty...

I think the pragmatism aspect is quite well illustrated with the judges that go on vacation... Vui to them is just work. We've got to bridge this gap between emotion and cold-blood work as a nation – it permeates every level of society. My wedding car – complete with tassles and all, was ticketed (granted the driver didn't put a ticket). We appealed but no go – if this happened in OZ they officer would have wished the couple well and turned a blind eye.

The force of death cannot be determined by us all-sinners on earth. Who are we to lay the final judgement of death on a fellow human being. The greatest act of mercy to save a life will perpetuate for generations the karma of goodness.
We hope Yong Vui Kong can live and be given a second chance to redeem himself to spread the act of human kindness and the evils of drugs and drug trafficking.

Its just a short term fix to what is fundamentally a structural unemployment problem. It just rolls the problem to the future, when we'll have to "cheaper" again. And then they'll try to devalue the currency for yet another short term fix. Just bloody reel in the property market man - that's where the problem is really at in competitiveness.

Oops... See More! Government and elite hands are in the cookie jar on that one...cannnot....Guess we'll have to find another way to pass the buck off to the small guy again then.

Yes. Possibilities are for you if you're a elite of the society. A RI grad, OCS in the SAF then to Lee Kuan Yew Scholarship in NUS. Then you get a management post in a Statutory Board, waiting for your chance in the Parliament.

If you're not an elite,be prepared to serve the elites for them to get their possibilities. If not you can also be a ...

Maybe he had forgotten that it is the people who chooses the leaders. This is a Democratic country where the people gets to vote.

We are not talking about Monarchy here in this empire where power is given from father to son. If not this reign would have been called the "Lee Dynasty" instead.

Easy money. But once he/she get caught it'll be death sentence. This young chap probably didn't think much of the consequences.
