Musings of Suresh “Great Baron” Jeyaverasingam

To Fellow Malaysians (especially students studying overseas).

How aware are you all about the ‘hot’ issues in Malaysia? How hot u ask?
Imagine taking out a frying curry puff from a pan! It is that hot!

Now, I’m talking about the constitution of Malaysia. Isn’t that the supreme document that governs our nation? Can the judiciary amend the constitution? To those of you who are keeping in touch with the going ons in our country, than you would probably know what I’m hinting at.

There are several cases that have brought(or currently bringing) this issue to the fore, Lina Joy, Subashini and the former Everest Hero. One lawyer (besides HRH Raja Nazrin, the Raja Muda of Perak) who is fighting for the supremacy of the constitution is Malik Imtiaz Shawar at http://malikimtiaz.blogspot.com.

I’d suggest everybody to check out his webpage.

other webpages of Malaysians who give critical analysis of the going ons in our beloved tanah tumpahnya darahku are:

A.Kadir Jasin (http://kadirjasin.blogspot.com/)
Farish Noor (http://www.othermalaysia.org/)

I’m actually quite inclined to write in detail about this. But before I do, I would like to gauge view from other Malaysians.

Is the grass truly greener on the other side? My personal opinion, I don’t think this holds true. In some cases yes (in education) but for other matters no.

So I would appreciate if Malaysians or other Asians (that includes Indians!!!) could give me feedback on this matter. If you’re a visitor, please spread the word about this post.

Thanks.

Yup. you got that right…it is still snowing in spring.

Still don’t know whether I Can go back home in may. Depends on whether I get a job. It would be the first time in my uni life, if I were to go back, I’d be going back for the full summer.

I guess there is some sort of silver (golden would be better) lining on the cloud, Going back home for some really needed R&R would enable me to take on the final year better.
