Heritage Street....Beach Street...# 1

The old Wall Street of Pg, Beach Street, is getting back its old looks. The looks that was hers in 1930's, I presume, before all the facades were put up.....but now after 50 years of rent control with its repeal, some owners are bringing back its old looks....which is gives it real character..some photos will be coming ....watch out for this space...a picture is worth a thousand words...

Defending the 1957 constitution.....

In a talk organised by ASLI, Raja Nazrin, the Raja Muda of Perak, defined the 7 steps towards building a sense of belonging and common destiny binding all Malaysians of all races, religions and origins together in a common purpose....

The first step is to defend the integrity of the Federal Constitution, Rukunnegara and Vision 2020....of these the first is particularly important.

Yet, today many in the legal fraternity believes that our High Court Judges are abdicating their role as defenders of the constitution because of their reluctance to to be involved when there appears to be an overlap in the jurisdiction of the syariah & civil law as in the case of Moorthy & now in Subashini case.

Appears to be our judges are behaving like Pakistani judges now.....or rather our justice system have gone the Pakistani way.....hope not, it may lead to the complete breakdown of law & order....& the beginning of the end for malaysia....
