When the Veil and the Vote Collide: Enhancing Muslim Women's Rights Through Electoral Reform Amber Rose Maltbie, Esq.* I. INTRODUCTION In the last two decades, centuries-old monarchies in the Middle East have begun to shift toward more open societies by integrating democratic rights into their laws.' In an exciting move by a number of these parliaments and monarchs, women have been granted suffrage throughout the region.2 Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and, to a limited extent, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have each granted suffrage to women since the beginning of the Twenty-First Century.3 With this grant of suffrage, these fledgling democracies are faced with drafting and implementing laws for the administration of free and fair elections for the first time. A number of challenges mark this transition, including the task of fully incorporating the electoral rights of women who wear face-covering veils for religious reasons, while guarding against the threat of voter fraud.4 This problem of the "vote and the veil"' colliding at the polling booth occurs in two unique circumstances, both related to voter identification requirements.

Bharrat Jagdeo General Editor: David Dabydeen Consulting Editor: Ian McDonald Director of Research: Letizia Gramaglia iii iv SERIES PREFACE Modern Guyana came into being, in the Western imagination, through the travelogue of Sir Walter Ralegh, The Discoverie of Guiana (1595). Ralegh was as beguiled by Guiana’s landscape (“I never saw a more beautiful country…”) as he was by the prospect of plunder (“every stone we stooped to take up promised either gold or silver by his complexion”). Ralegh’s contemporaries, too, were doubly inspired, writing, as Thoreau says, of Guiana’s “majestic forests”, but also of its earth, “resplendent with gold.” By the eighteenth century, when the trade in Africans was in full swing, writers cared less for Guiana’s beauty than for its mineral wealth. Sugar was the poet’s muse, hence the epic work by James Grainger The Sugar Cane (1764), a poem which deals with subjects such as how best to manure the sugar cane plant, the most effective diet for the African slaves, worming techniques, etc.

  • Over Indelible Ink Malaysiakini.Com June 28, 2013 YOURSAY 'Ku
    Enough of 'ah chi, ah choo' over indelible ink MalaysiaKini.com June 28, 2013 YOURSAY ‘Ku Nan, if parliament passed it, then it is law and it is the duty of administrators to abide by and execute the task.' Ku Nan: We don't need indelible ink your sayAnonymous_3e86: It isn't about whether we need indelible ink or whether Malaysia is a Third World country. It is about why the government spent RM7.1 million for ink with food colouring instead of silver nitrate? It is about the lies the Election Commission (EC) told - that the ink contained silver nitrate when it didn't. Now that the truth has emerged, BN politicians are making excuses for the EC goons since these goons have already done their job to ensure a BN victory. Now it's BN's turn to protect EC. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Quigonbond: Obviously, they handed a different script to Ku Nan (Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor). The deputy whip and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Shahidan Kassim already said there was no silver nitrate in the ink but food colouring - why's Ku Nan talking about "reduced chemicals"? Umno leaders are becoming ‘Comedy Central' - only that they don't know that people are not laughing with, but at them. I think the Agong should tell PM Najib Razak to set up an RCI (royal commission of inquiry) to get to the bottom of this matter - and all other electoral shenanigans. It's also great diplomacy. Ku Nan has just insulted all our southern sphere friends that we're better than them - more advanced in our corruption index, I suppose.

  • Indelible Ink Scandal Exposed
    INDELIBLE INK SCANDAL EXPOSED Rafizi Ramli Liked · about an hour ago Menteri bertanggungjawab enggan dedahkan nama syarikat pembekal dakwat kekal di Parlimen tetapi mengesahkan syarikat lain iaitu Nash Ventures mendapat kontrak perbekalan topi dari SPR semasa PRU13. Share & like page Rafizi Ramli untuk bantu sebarkan fakta hubung kait Nash Ventures Sdn Bhd dan Mohamed Salleh. Berdasarkan carian di SSM, selain menjadi pemegang saham dan pengarah kepada Intergrated Challenger, Mohamed Salleh adalah pemegang saham & pengarah kepada Allisons Sdn Bhd. Perniagaan utama Allisons Sdn Bhd adalah membekalkan peralatan ketenteraan kepada Kementerian Pertahanan dan Kementerian Dalam Negeri. Turut menjadi pemegang saham & pengarah kepada Allisons Sdn Bhd adalah wanita bernama Shamsia Mansoor. Shamsia juga merupakan pengarah di Nash Ventures Sdn Bhd iaitu syarikat yang mendapat kontrak perbekalan topi dari SPR secara rundingan terus. Hubungan antara Mohamed Salleh dan Shamsia adalah berkemungkinan besar sebagai pasangan suami isteri kerana mereka tinggal di alamat rumah yang sama dan nombor MyKad kedua-duanya menunjukkan berasal dari Singapura. 1 Tidak mengejutkan bilamana ketiga-tiga syarikat ini mendaftarkan alamat perniagaan mereka pada alamat yang sama. Turut menjadi persoalan bagaimana syarikat berkenaan dipertimbangkan untuk pembekalan kepada SPR kerana syarikat itu tidak mengemaskini rekod kewangan dan kali terakhir difailkan kepada SSM ialah pada 2009. Memandangkan kontrak diberi secara rundingan terus walaupun terdapat keraguan tentang kemampuan
