Chief Editor's Column
In defence of sex education
“Sexual education isn’t so much about teaching the facts of life and preventing teen pregnancy (although that’s obviously a big part of it) - it’s fundamental purpose must be to contribute to respect for women and an equal relationship between the sexes.”
The Holocaust, Prejudice and Immigrants
Delaying the second part of the article on the NEP for a little while, I offer my thoughts on the Holocaust, and the disquieting prejudice endemic in Malaysian society - two topics which are not as far apart as they may seem to be.
Of 30% and the NEP: I
As part of a new stream of articles leading up to the Malaysian Student Leaders’ Summit, we start off with part one of a two-part article on the NEP, provoked by the recent announcement of the change to the 30% ownership rule for public-listed companies.
Editorial: Carilah Kawan, Bukannya Lawan
This week, I present my thoughts, for what they’re worth, in response to an unsettling conversation I had last weekend, on the tendency of too many Muslim Malaysians today to react in anger towards criticism, whether justified or otherwise, of Islam and Muslims, and call for us to return to the ideals of respect and […]

Sunday scribbles: The ISA and us
By Hizami Iskandar
