I had a feeling that when Syed Radzi said the application will be approved based on “case by case” basis, its basically a ban. He denied that such a ban exists. The problem started after an announcement in early January stating that there is a ban since 31st December 2007. There were some confusion which even Samy Vellu did not escape. He announced the ban, in INDIA, and later retracted it. The ban was for foreign workers (excluding expatriates) in general from India and Bangladesh. MHS highlighted that the blanket ban would affect the temple-related workers as well. » Read more: Temples in quandry over cabinet ban

 I’ve always had my doubt on PAS. I think anything based on religion will cause problem. So, this kind of statement only serves to alienate people from PAS. DAP will also suffer since people will start to question DAP.

I think DAP and PKR should merge, and let PAS to contest by itself in next election. » Read more: PAS wants to lead Pakatan Rakyat and aim for islamic state
