Old friends' new blogs ...

Yale-trained social scientist, writer and a kawan lama of mine, Rustam Sani, 62, now operates his blog called Vox Populi. Rustam, a son of an icon of Malay Left Ahmad Boestaman, was on the same panel with PAS' Dr. Dzulkifri Ahmad, DAP's Ronnie Liu and me in a public forum held at the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall last Thursday exploring other sides of the struggles for Merdeka.

Meanwhile, another friend of mine Tian Chua has also been enjoying blogging for the last two months or so. I first befriended Tian Chua as a fellow leaders of student unions in Sydney in the mid-80s of the last century. Tian later completed his MA in the Netherlands before he returned to tanahair kita to be active in NGOs and reformasi politics.
