Saiful – The chronology, revisited
It might be useful to remind ourselves of the sequence of events, especially in June 2008, leading to the alleged sodomy incident and immediately after. Take a look at the chronology I prepared from publicly available sources, news reports and courtroom proceedings.

Youths hold protest against repression
Some 400 young protesters held a noisy, exuberant protest near the Sogo shopping complex in KL yesterday. Apparently, the protest was not just about the jailing of Anwar but also the wider, ongoing repression in the country.
Another vigil for Anwar at Sungai Buloh
This is the scene at Sungai Buloh tonight.
Meamwhile, I am checking out a PKR ceramah in Pasir Gudang tonight.
Now Pasir Gudang used to be an Umno stronghold. But at GE13, Umno’s majority was whittled down to 935 votes. What will happen at GE14?
Released from remand, Zunar thanks IGP
Zunar was released this morning from remand.
His wife Fazlina now says he will have to find out if he will be formally charged.
Sounding tired over the phone, Zunar said the police were not aggressive. “I was not interrogated but still I was grilled for up to five or six hours a day and had to give statements.”
Tok Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (1931-2015)
I will always remember Tok Guru Nik Aziz for his utter simplicity, his humble lifestyle and his genuine openness to inter-religious dialogue.
He lived in a modest kampung house, used a BIC ballpoint pen, and did not have much use for the trappings of power. Once when I interviewed him, along with a colleague from Aliran, I was startled that he opted to sit on the floor for the interview. This was the Menteri Besar of Kelantan, mind you.

‘Sudahlah dengan kezaliman’: Anwar Ibrahim’s last ceramah – for now
His final words pierced the night air: “Please, Malaysians – Malays, Chinese, Indians, Dayaks, Kadazans – please stand up; stand up for your rights. Stand up for your children. Stand up for the future of this country. Stand up and be counted. We are Malaysians! Re-for-ma-si! Lawan, tetap…”
Vigil for Anwar: Lighting candles in the dark
Even as 1MDB struggles to repay its debts, a vigil is taking place at Sungai Buloh Prison to express solidarity with Anwar Ibrahim. At this rate, he could turn into a Mandela-like figure in no time. He has already been in jail/detention for eight years: two years in the 1970s and six years since 1998. Now, another five years.
