    BOOK REVIEW | More than a thriller: Empire, murder, intrigue in David's debut novel | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    BOOK REVIEW | The first prose novel by Malaysian playwright/producer Arvind Ethan David, who works in the US and UK, is described on its front cover as “The Great Game, A Thriller”. That’s an understatement. Although it is a thriller, it is much more than that. It is a historical novel, although not quite - I will explain this later. It is a parody and satire of empire and its paradoxes, a fantasy weaving together a tale of gruesome murders of British high-society personalities by an unlikely be

    BOOK REVIEW | Putting history right | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    BOOK REVIEW | Malaysiakini’s regular contributor Ranjit Singh Malhi’s book titled “Forgotten Malaysian History - Restoring Voices, Reclaiming Truths” addresses the troubling trend of underplaying the contribution of other communities in Malaysia. In a hard-cover publication of over 430 pages retailing for RM100 a piece, he enumerates numerous instances of misrepresentation and under-representation of the roles played by non-Malays in Malaysia, especially in school textbooks with previous entries

    COMMENT | 10 years or more of trials and tribulations for Malaysia | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    That spells compromising to satisfy all and satiating no one, a recipe for uncertainty and the consequent trials and tribulations. Looking beyond the Negeri Sembilan polls, the canvas looks bleak and foreboding with patches of sunshine here and there. PKR, with 31 parliamentary seats, will be more or less destroyed with support waning rapidly among both Malays and non-Malays. Breakaway Parti Bersama Malaysia is likely to take some seats in urban areas or at the very least spoil it for PKR and DA

    COMMENT | Revamp of national trust fund is very late, but welcome | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I did not until recently, when a bill was tabled in Parliament on July 16 for a formal and welcome transformation to make it a proper sovereign fund with clearly set requirements. The fund size is now RM22.4 billion, after the short-lived Muhyiddin Yassin government dipped its fingers into the pot to pull out RM5 billion for Covid-19 vaccines. As if this amount could not have been obtained from operating expenses. Not many know that we had a plan for a sovereign wealth fund from 1988, which was

    COMMENT | Sombre, sober reflections on Johor election | Malaysiakini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    COMMENT | It’s not that Umno/BN won; they won big, very big. From 40 seats to 48 in the 56-seat Johor state assembly, with the remaining eight seats to Pakatan Harapan, down from 12 previously. Budding Parti Bersama Malaysia lost deposits in the 15 seats contested. But if Umno thinks the showing is because it wants a pardon/house arrest for former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, they are sadly mistaken - evidence is that line of reasoning has no basis given Umno’s declining fortunes over this
