"Socialist Alternative (Malay: Sosialis Alternatif) (CWI Malaysia) is a socialist group in Malaysia which describes itself as campaigning to bring socialist change in Malaysia and internationally to create a democratic society organized to meet the needs and desires of all. They publish a Malaysian language newspaper called Solidariti Pekerja. They have branches in Kuala Lumpur and Nilai and members from all three ethnic groups - Malays, Indians (Tamils) and Chinese. It is affiliated internationally with the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI), an international socialist organization headquartered in London, United Kingdom. As an affiliate it is often referred to as CWI Malaysia. History It was founded by Ravichandren who had been a member of Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) but adopted the ideas of the CWI while living in the UK . On his return to Malaysia he was asked by the leadership of the PSM to choose between the two organisations and so set about forming a section of the CWI. Political views They believe an independent working class political entity is needed to represent the aspirations and needs of the working class. But to oppose the government is not enough; a programme of demands and a clear strategy to achieve them should also be established. The Socialist Alternative spokesman Yuva Balan explained a key text in Marxist thought by Friedrich Engels The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State in a radio discussion. Relations with the Socialist Party of Malaysia They appear to have a good relationship with the PSM who invited speakers from Committee for a Workers' International to speak at their conference in 2005. The complement was returned in 2006 when V.Selvam, a Central Committee member and founding member of PSM was invited to speak at the conference of Socialist Alternative's sister party in Australia. In 2011 Socialist Alternative took part in a campaign to defend PSM when 30 of its supporters were arrested for "reviving the ‘communism’ of the Malayan Communist Party". A review of Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj’s “Malaysia at the Crossroads, a Socialist Perspective” by Peter Taaffe explains some of the differences between the two groups. In an interview with The KL Review the subject of relationships again came up and their spokesperson Yuva Balan emphasised that debate was not intended to discredit any party but to focus on a strategy to defeat capitalism. They continued the debate in a radio broadcast discussing Karl Marx in a Malaysian context Activity They were invited to speak at the Youth Symposium of The Festival of Science on youth movements in the 21st century.http://www.roketkini.com/2014/08/12/utam-anjur- pesta-ilmu-hujung-minggu-ini/ References Category:2008 establishments in Malaysia Category:Political parties established in 2008 Malaysia Category:Socialist parties in Malaysia "

"Murrurundi Railway Station Murrurundi railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Northern line in Murrurundi in the Upper Hunter Shire local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was built between 1872 and 1917. It is also known as Murrurundi Railway Station group. The station serves the town of Murrurundi and opened on 4 April 1872. The station served as the terminus of the line until it was extended to Quirindi on 13 August 1877. The station was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. Services Murrurundi is served by NSW TrainLink's daily Northern Tablelands Xplorer service operating between Armidale/Moree and Sydney. This station is a request stop, so the train only stops here if passengers have booked to board/alight here. History From 1891 until August 1965, Murrurundi had a four road locomotive depot to the north of the station, primarily as a base for bank engines used on the steeply graded banks over the Liverpool Range to Ardglen Tunnel north of the town. A yard existed opposite the station.Locomotive Depot No 18: Murrurundi Murrurundi Historical Society Description The station has one platform and a passing loop. The complex comprises a type 3, second class, brick station with hip-roof, erected in 1872; a type 18, brick gable building, non-standard, erected ; a type 18, infill between buildings, erected possibly in 1891; an open timber framed signal box with a non-standard roof, erected in 1917; and a timber store building with a skillion roof. Other structures include brick platform faces. Heritage listing Murrurundi was an important locomotive depot with a substantial straight shed and locomotive facility at the west end of the yard, all of which has been removed. The remaining structures comprising the station buildings, footbridge, residences and goods shed are a good representative group and are individually good examples of their kind. The station is particularly interesting because of the two buildings constructed within a year of each other in different styles. The main building being a fine second class building and the other a more modest gable roof building. The section linking them and adding the awning is also of significance. The residences are all excellent examples of residences for various positions at the complex from station master to loco foreman and the range from brick to timber is representative of many similar structures.
