AdilanClub: My New Year wish: Leave 'Allah' alone

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

Time flies and we are already at the doorstep of 2013. But time has stood still for three long years since 31 Dec 2009 at the gates of justice. It was on that New Year's Eve that the Judiciary gave a flicker of hope for fundamental liberties when a landmark judgement ruled in favour of the Herald, the Catholic weekly. But the Attorney General fought back and appealed against the decision.

The Court of Appeal has not set a hearing date nor is it likely to do so with any urgency. Justice obtained in one of His Majesty's courts is denied by another one higher up through the use of undue judicial delays in the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya.

My New Year wish is that the Attorney General will do the sensible thing by withdrawing the appeal and let the High Court judgement stand. In doing so, one of the most fundamental civil liberties guaranteed by our Federal Constitution will be restored. So too will our confidence in constitutionalism.

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

A 10-minute video posted more than a year ago on YouTube makes it clear that former Marine Benjamin Sebena, who has been charged in the shooting death of his wife, a Wauwatosa police officer, left Iraq a profoundly affected man.

"My experiences in Iraq were that of having to watch over 50 of my friends, that are good friends, die. Having to kill people. Having to kill a child who tried to kill me," Sebena says as a camera moves toward him in the back of his church, sitting in his favorite seat, the one in front of a pillar so his back is always covered.

"I was a Marine," Sebena's voice says over the video of him sitting alone and staring downward. He has a crew cut and wears an olive green long-sleeved T-shirt.

"We're trained to kill. We're trained that death is OK. Wasn't trained how to deal with the death, but we're definitely trained to kill."

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

When her ability failed to clinch deals, this business graduate used her sex appeal, and slept with people in power to get promotions.

Now an MNC vice-president, she says brains and hard work are not enough

Get real. Sex to help push sales or seal contracts happens.

The reason is simple, says this vice-president of a multi-national corporation: It is easier to secure a contract with people who find you physically attractive.

Nora, who spoke on condition of anonymity, is in her early 40s, but looks barely 30.

At 1.67m tall and with vital stats of 36-26-36, she is also pretty and witty.
