A Prelude to the 2009 Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit The Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit is an annual active network, since 2006, for some 200 dynamic emerging leaders from the Asia-Pacific and the US, to build relationships and engage in interdisciplinary dialogue and cultural exchange. The summit, is also the highlight of Asia Society’s Asia 21 Young Leaders Initiative, to gather exceptional young leaders of tomorrow from every country in the Asia-Pacific and US region and from various disciplines, and to provide a platform for these young leaders to network across geographic boundaries, develop collaborative approaches to shared challenges, and educating each other in the highest ideals of values-based leadership.

While we were frustrated at not being able to get online, Kamal had plenty of time to 'strut his stuff'.

We had just returned from interviewing Nai Khan Kari on the eve of polling which was May 30th. A self-shot. Aizu is at the back. And Maran can still pose while the car is moving at quite a speed....

In rural Penanti, you see this 'castle'. Who does it belong to and it's rather out of place. Hopefully it's not one of those 'Zakaria mansions' -- you know, the Umno leader who built a mansion costing millions of ringgits in a squatter area.

Yet another memorandum to Suhakam

 Isn't such a waste of time? Why bother sending memo after memo after memo to Suhakam on human rights issues? What have they done at all to address abuses to the rights of citizens? Do the cops laugh everytime Suhakam wants to meet them on issues? Do the RELA chief sniggers too?

And folks of the human rights group, when you want to do this to drum up some publicity to show that you are doing something, don't do it last-minute. Create a bit of a show for great photo ops. This handing over is not great photo op.
