Martin Khor was one such expert. Wisma Putra first came into contact with him in the 1980s, seeing him as an expert on issues of concern to Malaysia’s national interests. Khor fitted our foreign policy pulse and objectives.
Throughout the years, Malaysia’s diplomats worked closely with Khor. His Third World Network alerted not only Malaysia, but many developing countries to the rich countries’ agenda — the unfair trade practices, the imbalanced human rights perspective that adversely affected newly independent countries, the North’s agenda on climate change and sustainability, poverty, health issues and finances.
An economist by training, Khor was everything to the developing world. In short, Khor was our Stieglitz, our Chomsky. The last time we met him was at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies a few months ago. It was the discussion on Malaysia’s Foreign Policy Framework, chaired by the minister. He looked frail even then, but his mind was as sharp as ever.

Thanks, but no thanks, mufti of PerlisCOMMENT | This idea that 'religious' funds should suddenly be used for non-Muslims in need is mendacious. One should not talk about zakat when he/dont understand what is zakat and how it works. Its kinda funny when one ask for equality but their action always ask to be treat separately Exactly. This motherfocker has no honor. He’s looking for ways to collect his racism credits, so that he can fire back when the right opportunities arrive. We can live without his loaded so-called generosity. He shd just shut up and focus on what he is paid to do. And to the media, if it's not relevant to his expertise, don't even bother publishing it

Comment | Victimless MCO crimes: The case of 24 Catholic seminarians'When people who live together play together, do they spread disease?' Just my opinion, people should not defy MCO, but cases like this I wonder if they don’t need to be handcuffed in this manner, same goes to other harmless ones. The aggressive ones yes, they deserved it. This is the how it is going to be from now on with this government so get used to it. Any excuse to undermine the minority. Call a spade a spade. This is religious persecution.
