SUARAM on Ops Scorpene

Since the last Ops Scorpene fundraising events held in Kuala Lumpur and London the second half of last year, SUARAM has received numerous messages, queries and questions on the progress of the Scorpene case that we have filed at the French courts.

We extend our apologies for the silence and wanted very much to come back to you much sooner with news on progress of the case, but unfortunately could not, as the courts in France were taking much longer than expected to decide on matters.

Dr Mahathir's letter to Israeli PM Ehud Barak in 1999? Fake or genuine?

Intrigue within Sabah Umno

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Politics in Sabah is never boring and it is again taking on the air of a soap opera complete with prima donnas, villains, scoundrels and clowns waiting in the wings before going centre stage in the second biggest state in Malaysia.

Borneo Herald brings a story of Jinu Losukin, 39, a homeless Ranau Dusun in Kuala Lumpur

Jinu bin Losukin @Raju Homeless, odd-jobs worker, 39, Kuala Lumpur

In our February State of the Vision Issue, we asked the man on the street, from all walks of life, what they feel about the state of our country. Renowned journalist and documentarian Danny Lim travelled across Malaysia to speak to friends, strangers and demographics we would normally never sit and have a chat with. We present two extremes from this piece: Raju, a homeless man living in KL, and Dr Vincent Chian, an educator who is working to improve schools in Malaysia.

Star Amused At Bn Rahman's Asking Anwar To Give Assurance

By Dr Nicholas James Guntobon

KENINGAU: The statement by BN MP for Kota Belud, Rahman Dahlan, asking for an assurance by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim that Sabah would not get less than it gets under a BN Federal government is alike to BN already conceding defeat in the coming general election.

I wonder if Rahman's statement which came out in Borneo Post today is reflective of CM Musa Aman's stand or even the Sabah BN of which Rahman is its secretary.
