Praying in hope for an end to ISA

Collective prayer: Justice and love will prevail over the ISA About a hundred people turned up for the Mass  to pray for ISA detainees this evening at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Pulau Tikus, Penang. It is the latest in a series of Wednesday ISA services that is likely to continue until the ISA is repealed. Parish priest Fr Marshall Fernandez pointed out that prayer is a powerful means of advancing the kingdom of love and justice and peace. It was also important to have hope, he said.

When the BN messed up the Esplanade...

The PR Penang state government has probably learned a few hard lessons from the “Kings of Tennis” flop.  At the very least,  they will now learn to thoroughly scrutinise proposals from women and men in business suits who claim their ventures will be free i.e. at no cost to the state government. I was just as interested to see  the concerned reaction by the BN folks towards the damage to the Esplanade.
