Gaddafi's men: why do they keep fighting?

 It is now a month since Tripoli fell and the "Great Guide" was unceremoniously guided from power. But his forces refuse to give in and they are fighting back with much more determination and with much more popular support than witnessed before.

With their leader dethroned and their capital captured, everyone expected that pro-Gaddafi resistance would quickly collapse. But unlike most other places, Gaddafi's forces have not melted away and this time there have been no internal uprisings to greet the advancing rebels.

Invitation to the MCLM forums on Rakyat Reform Agenda (RARA)

The Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) have successfully launched its series of forums to be held nationwide on the ‘Rakyat Reform Agenda’ on 19^th September 2011 in Kuala Lumpur at the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH).

It is MCLM’s fervent hope that in order for Malaysia to be the great inclusive nation envisioned by our founding fathers, we must return to basic principles.

How will we achieve this? The answer - Through the Rakyat Reform Agenda (RARA), which is a four-point plan to:

Ÿ  Honour the agreements made in 1963 between the Federation of Malaya and Sabah and Sarawak prior to the formation of the Federation of Malaysia

Ÿ  Restore the national institutions to the Rakyat – the judiciary, Election Commission, police force, Attorney-General, etc.

Ÿ  Restore the liberties guaranteed to the Rakyat under the Federal Constitution by repealing the ISA, OSA, PPPA, UUCA and Sedition Act

Ÿ  Adopt the Social Inclusion Agenda, designed to raise the living standards of all marginalised persons in Malaysia.

We are now proceeding to the next stage for venues in East Malaysia:

a) 27^th September - Kota Kinabalu - Courtyard Hotel

b) 28^th September - Tawau - Belmont Marco Polo, and

c) 29^th September - Kuching - Hotel Grand Continental

(Note: All the MCLM RARA forums are scheduled for 7pm to 11pm)

By Daniel John Jambun

When the Prime Minister announced the government will repeal the Internal Security Act and other important reforms Datuk Johnny  Information Chief, PBS celebrated, saying it was a clear proof that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government is responsive to the people's feelings. He claimed that "These important reforms vindicate the decision by our President, Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, to rejoin the BN 10 years ago. Today Pairin's faith in the BN to do the right things for the people and nation has been proven correct."

‘The Untouchable’ Bebas Kes Rasuah!

SETELAH kes perbicaraan rasuah ‘Lelaki Terkaya Penuh Kontroversi’ di Malaysia, Michael Chia Tien Foh ditunda beberapa kali; termasuk meminda pertuduhan; saksi ditukar posisi sebagai Defenden dan setelah 25 Saksi memberi keterangan, akhirnya Mahkamah Sesyen Sandakan melepas dan membebaskan beliau dan Lo Man Heng daripada sebarang kesalahan rasuah kerana pendakwaraya gagal mengemukakan bukti yang melampaui keraguan munasabah.
