(Prof. Muhammad Nasser Matli, University of the Philippines) The phrase "Tausug bravest man in earth" is indoctrinated in the mindset of every Tausug and it boosts their pride.

By Warina Sushil Jukuy Tuesday, May 20, 2008 09:19:02 AM Out of the more than 88.6 million population in the Philippines today, are you one among the 27 million (Eiler, IBON, NSO and SWP statistics vary) Filipinos who are either jobless or economically unproductive”? Or do you belong to the “undocumented yet number” of Pinoys who either “work or aspire to work as DH or private tutor abroad” for a measly salary of “250 USD?” If s… Continue

After Braving The Tides Of Money Politics

After Braving The Tides Of Money Politics By Warina Sushil A. Jukuy Unknowingly and unwillingly riding in the crest of Money Politics are the somber faces of our dead heroes and ex-presidents. Ironically, despite ARMM provinces being among the poorest of poor provinces based on Human Development Index, still Money talks, indeed! And how eloquently and persuasively! Most people asked me after August 8 polls, how are you? I was tempted to quip: “Well, a bit seasick after braving the Tides of M… Continue

DNA hunting.

Yesterday I was told by "someone" that the 2nd medical report of Saiful has no sign of sodomy and that somebody was then making last effort to hunt for Anwar's DNA. This morning, came out in Nanyang Daily's headline: New law would be made to legalise the quest of Anwar's DNA. For 1 man to stay as SPR chief, we had the constitition amended in yr 2007, and BN still did not do well in 308 election. For 1 man to be framed, we may witness the creation of a new law based on the rule of jungle. I wis… Continue

Wakil Rakyat

Oleh Taufik Al Mubarak Harian Aceh kemarin melansir berita yang cukup memiriskan hati: “Enam Komisi Melancong, Gedung DPRA Kosong.” Mereka berbondong-bondong berangkat ke Jakarta dan tempat lain, katanya untuk study banding. Terlepas apapun tujuannya, pelancongan atau study banding para anggota dewan tersebut tetap tidak dapat kita terima. Pasalnya, banyak hal yang meski diselesaikan mereka. Katakanlah, masalah keterlambatan pengesahan APBA. Para wakil rakyat ini seharusnya memikirkan bagaima… Continue

Utopia

Oleh Taufik Al Mubarak Nasib rakyat Aceh saban tahun terkatung-katung. Mayoritas seperti kehilangan induk semangnya. Pencerahan baru terlihat ketika Pilkada 2006 lalu, rakyat serentak memberi kepercayaan kepada pasangan Irwandi-Nazar untuk berkuasa. Berjuta harapan digantungkan kepada pasangan yang naik melalui jalur independen ini. Tapi, berangsur-angsur, ekspektasi rakyat terhadap pasangan ini berkurang. Popularitas yang sempat melejit pascamenang, mulai terkikis, dan muncul kekhawatiran: ja… Continue
