		<description><![CDATA[This is being compared with last year&#8217;s Parliament sitting on Deepavali eve by MIC and MIC-friendly folks. The Parliament sitting was cancelled by Cabinet after some noise were made by various groups (and DAP reps sent a memo), as it was considered a disrespectful and insensitive move.  Read about it below: http://poobalan.com/blog/borninmalaysia/2011/10/11/parliament-sitting-on-deepavali-eve-issue/ http://poobalan.com/blog/borninmalaysia/2011/10/21/parliament-sitting-on-deepavali-eve-cancelled/ This time, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good news for the temple. Through their perseverance, they managed to get their land approved, even though it took 30 years. &#160; AFTER 30 years of waiting, the Arulmigu Sri Ramalingeswarar temple in Jalan Maarof, Bangsar finally got their approval letter last Sunday. The 100-year-old temple, which has been operating without proper documentation, had approached Federal [...]]]></description>

Hopefully more employment can be created beyond the usual TV, radio, newspaper and entertainment industries. HUMAN Resources Minister and MIC deputy president Datuk Seri Dr S.

Hectic schedule forced me to skip many movies, thus this review would be limited. As usual, a plethora of Tamil movies were released in 2011 (ABOUT 135!), culminating in Mambatiyyan (Prashanth), Osthe (Simbu) and [...]]]></description>

Quite fast eh? Good luck to the community in building the gurdwara. Hope they will get sufficient funds from federal and state governments. Election coming soon, [...]]]></description>
