Sikhs in the limelight

Karpal Singh defends Perak MB’s mistake by saying that it was a honest mistake and not intended to insult the community. He said its a trivial matter. I think no need to blow up this issue. The guy apologised via SMS, perhaps should issue a proper statement in the papers. People can accept if you sincerely apologise over a honest mistake. However, if the MB keeps quiet…hmm…won’t look so good on him. » Read more: Sikhs in the limelight

Another lesson for the new Perak Menteri Besar. He is sure to have his hands full for next 5 years as many quarters are just waiting for gaffes or mistakes like these to happen. Anyway, at least he had the courtesy to admit his mistake. Next step should be to publish the apology in the media.

Now, how many of us know the difference between Sikhs and Bengalis? Easy to blame the MB, but I wonder how many would have made the same mistake if was in the same situation. » Read more: Perak MB confused between Sikhs and Bengalis

Happy New Year

Today is the Hindu or Tamil (or both) New Year, depending on who you ask. The new year started at 7.28pm (but the temple that I went said 7.38pm).

I wish everyone a happy Sarvathiri new year. May the new year bring better tidings.

As for me, not a good start as  two motorbike racers grazed my car on the way back from temple, causing the front bumper to come off. That means a trip to the workshop tomorrow.
