A CONSORTIUM of civil society organisations dedicated to addressing statelessness and citizenship rights issues has come forward to address recent developments surrounding proposed amendments to citizenship laws by the Home Affairs Ministry (MOHA). In an official statement released today, the Malaysian Citizenship Rights Alliance (MCRA) expressed its reservations about the potential implications of the proposed amendments. They also emphasised that they have conveyed these concerns to MOHA and hope that their input will be taken into consideration, particularly due to the direct impact on Malaysian families.

It's been awhile since I've stripped the copy protection off a Commodore 64 software package. This weekend I had a reason to. I should point out a couple things as preamble. First, my parents insisted I would not rot my brain with games (much), so we had a lot of educational titles for our C64, and second, my wife is a high-school English teacher. I kept a number of packages from back then and one of them was a secondarily acquired copy of DesignWare's The Grammar Examiner from 1984, something like a mashup between a board game and Strunk and White's Elements of Style , where you get to edit a fictional newspaper and fix all the typos and bad punctuation in your quest to become editor-in-chief.

The House of Representatives on Monday approved on third and final reading House Bill No. 7751, or the proposed Department of Health Specialty Centers Act, that would set up specialized care centers in hospitals nationwide, making them accessible to patients in the provinces. According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez, one of the bill's authors, 'We have specialty hospitals built during the time of the father of President Marcos … but all of these are in Quezon City. So our people in the regions and in Visayas and Mindanao who need the services of these health facilities will have to travel all the way to Quezon City to avail of their services.
