I hope the RM 1 million grant is put to good use. Accurate accounts must also be maintained. Money should not be splurged on unneccesary projects.

This is not just a first but also signifies a strategic change in policy by the govt. What Najib has done is that he is sending a signal that he no longer depends on MIC to reach out to Indians. The same message was sent when he attended the Batu Cave’s event the other day.
