MIC’s Saravanan have come out against the revocation of Waytha’s passport. I guess other MIC people will respond likewise soon.

So far, some people from Suhakam, Suaram, Aliran, and Hindraf lawyer have disagreed with the move to cancel Waytha’s passport. All are asking for reasons. In fact the move to revoke his passport most likely will backfire since Waytha applies for asylum, clearly indication political persecution. We can expect a few more drops in popularity status and international standings. The community prays that Waytha succeeds in getting his asylum.

Hmm…maybe next step is to revoke his citizenship. Well, anything can in Bolehland!

He is echoing what parents, students and many sane malaysian are asking, begging, cajoling for all this while. By making such a clear rule, it will serve as motivation for students, ensure transparency, and improve the perception of PSD in the eyes of the public.

Now, did the minister suggest this at the cabinet today? No point making press statement because the public can’t do much.

Earlier, Rhina Bhar quit Gerakan accusing the party of discrimination against the Indians.  Now, Gerakan replies saying no such thing. In fact, they point out that 2 Senators from Gerakan are Indians, and one of them is a deputy minister as well (though we have to note that the appointment for deputy post came after the rest of Gerakan candidates lost).

They also point out that Rhina got a number of posts and recognitions while in Gerakan, and the actual reason for her resignation is due to  disappointment for not being selected as senator again or nominated as election candidate. Hmm…that paints her as a politician who wants positions. Or she needs the posts to serve better? Could she have been a better election candidate compared to other Gerakan candidates? » Read more: Gerakan denies allegations by Rhina

I think the trip to IJN should be informed to his next-of-kin in case any complications arise. Interesting to note that there was a medical examination prior to detention term. Does it include heart condition and diabetes? Then, a comparison can be done on Uthaya’s before and after condition.

She was VP some time back, and after stepping down, no news in the media about her. Guess its time to move on (or jump ship?).
