Kee Thuan Chye - articles & interview

I've actually been back from my holiday a week now - updates in next blog! Was sending out this mass mail and thought it wouldn't look too out of place on this page, so here it is:

Hi all,

Kee Thuan Chye is a Malaysian journalist well-known for speaking his mind. He started an editorial for The Star in April 2007 which was promptly canned after 2 articles after the government warned The Star.

Here are links to the 2 articles (2nd one is what got him sacked):

No bulldung please.

This land is our land.

Also, here's a recent interview where he speaks out on current issues:

Kee to playing the fool ... again.

Cheers, Nav.
(your ever-loyal left-wing chest-thumping head-banging whisky-swigging fire-poking shit-stirring antipodean correspondent)

p.s. If anyone else cares, the lead singer of Quiet Riot just passed away. Everyone should download Metal Health (shame on you if it's not already in your collection) tonight and listen to the music & lyrics in a dark room, illuminated only by your computer screen, and just fuckin' lose yourself.
