Lt. Adnan: Lihat pada perspektif lebih luas
Berikut ialah surat saya yang diterbitkan di Forum Berita Harian pada 16 September 1995:
SAYA sangat tertarik akan liputan sesi dialog anjuran Taman Bacaan (BH 12September) Ahad lalu. Walaupun saya tidak dapat menghadiri sesi tersebut, saya ingin membuat sedikit sumbangan kepada perbincangan itu.
Keperwiraan AllahyarhamLeftenan Adnan Saidi memang tidak dapat disangkal. Saya pertama kali mengenalinya dari buku rencana Bahasa Melayu, ketika di bangku sekolah rendah dekad 60-an.
Lt Adnan Saidi: Lessons of Patriotism
IN the defence of Singapore during World War II, one name keeps cropping up that has since come to personify the meaning of patriotism and dying for one's country. It is Lt Adnan Saidi of the Malay Brigade, who led his men in an heroic battle against the Japanese during World War II.
Time to scrap the Joint Madrasah System?

SINGAPORE: Of the six full-time madrasahs, four have met the PSLE benchmark this year set by the Ministry of Education.
PLEASE tell me again how the Joint Madrasah System (JMS) is helping the madrasah succeed in the PSLE exams? Three of the non-JMS madrasahs met the MOE's benchmark, at least one of them consistently thru the years.
Should Article 152 be scrapped from the Singapore Constitution?

The event was a screening of Singapore short films. During the Question & Answer session at the end, a member of the audience, a Korean man, offered an observation: “Despite the fact that Singapore is a multiracial country, why are the films shown tonight all in Chinese?”
How Many Closet Racists Still Remain in PAP, YPAP?
Young PAP member quits over offensive remarks on Facebook - Channel NewsAsia
A Young People's Action Party (YP) member who posted 'insensitive' remarks - in his own words - on his Facebook page has resigned, following an online furore.
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1166078/1/.html
Veteran PAP Member of Parliament Charles Chong told TODAY that it would be "difficult" to vet those joining YP or PAP."They may profess to have the same ideology as the party and have a clean record, but even with psychometric tests, there is a small possibility of mistakes or missteps," said Mr Chong.
My response:
The YPAP, like the PAP itelf, prides itself in its stringent recruitment criteria to catch the 'best of the crop'. What those criteria are are a closely guarded secret and we must take their word that they are stringent indeed.
Presidential Elections: what is at stake?
By Ismail Kassim
I regard next month’s presidential race as Round Two of the fight between the PAP and the people. The outcome will determine the character of the nation in the next decade or two.
By the people, I mean the average Ah Beng, Raju and Ali, whose welfare has been sidelined by the government’s current obsession with achieving fast economic growth at any price.
They are the collateral damage that Singapore has to pay for its unabashed and embrace of globalization and western capitalism, with all their attendant evils.

POLITIK memang satu aspek penting dalam Islam.
Siasah atau politik merupakan disiplin mentadbir kehidupan manusia supaya terurus dengan baik dan adil demi mencapai kesejahteraan.
Namun, mengapa politik dianggap 'kotor' - sering dilihat membawa kepada perbalahan antara kelompok atau perpecahan dalam kalangan umat?

Sejauh manakah perubahan diperlukan dalam kepimpinan Melayu sekarang berikutan langkah berani pemerintah membuat transformasi dalam kepimpinan politik negara ini?
BERSIKAP BETUL TANGANI PERUBAHAN
Makalah berikut diterbitkan di Berita Harian Singapura pada 3 Jun 2010.

PERUBAHAN. Mungkin inilah tema paling tepat menggambarkan pilihan raya umum 2011.
Perubahan terpapar dalam pelbagai aspek - menjelang, ketika dan sesudah pilihan raya itu.
Memang perubahan sentiasa ada dalam kehidupan. Soalnya: Adakah kita peka dengan perubahan yang berlaku di sekitaran kita, prihatin terhadapnya, lalu membuat penyesuaian yang diperlukan? Atau abaikan saja kerana menganggap perubahan hanya akan mendatangkan keburukan?
DAMBA PERUBAHAN RUMUS PIMPINAN

Oleh Maarof Salleh
Mengapakah dalam setiap pembentukan kabinet baru, kedudukan para anggota parlimen (AP) Melayu tetap sama: seorang menteri, dua orang menteri negara dan beberapa orang setiausaha parlimen.
Apakah peruntukan demikian satu formula yang sudah ditentukan?
