Although i suspect that it is aimed at the Burmese who have the most indecent and explicit violations of human rights, this ASEAN human rights Commission is a big joke.

Hi Alex,

It seems your comments section to your latest blog on LKY has been hijacked to a phone advertisment.

Was it intentional?

Alan Wong -

Erm... I can't see any phone advertisment. When I tested it, I could get into a comment section and post a comment myself.

Somehow, I feel that you are over optimistic about this. I don't know, looking back, it would seem that any rights is considered secondary to this gahmen of ours.

But then again, I might be too pessimistic.
