Hmmm…average increase of 3.2% for Indian community to reach RM3799. Did your household income increase by 3.2% since year 2004 (4 year period from 2004-2007)? That means average of 0.8% per year. If RM2000 in 2004, should be RM2064 by end of last year. I guess my household did increase by more than 3.2%, but still I find the cost of living is squeezing life in urban areas. Maybe the higher income is not in tandem with higher cost of living. » Read more: household income increased in 2007

NGOs: Put house in order before leaving

source

KUALA LUMPUR: Several Indian-based organisations want MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu to step down, but not before putting his house in order. They said Samy Vellu realised that the Indian community had to be united to be heard, thus the reason for him to invite everyone, including his one-time sworn enemy Datuk S. Subramaniam to work with him. Some said it would take a great effort for the two to work together for the betterment of the community. » Read more: Samy asked to put MIC in order before leaving

Perak Tussle Continues

The tussle  for Perak DMB post is getting ugly. Looks like DAP starting to have “miscommunication” problems! DAP’s CEC (read: Lim Kit Siang) saying that PAS candidate was not endorsed, yet State DAP says it was agreed upon. Do we see a crack appearing somewhere?

I suspect that PKR been the peacemaker, may have to sacrifice the second deputy post and give it to DAP. DAP may claim up to 7 EXCO positions. Balance 3 may go to PKR (2) and PAS (1). Now DAP CEC wants to call for boycott. Will the state DAP follow? » Read more: Perak Tussle Continues

The TV3 news highlighted speech by Palace official who stressed that the Deputy must also be Muslim since he/she will assist the MB in Islamic events such as opening mosques, taking part in prayers etc. Either Theresa Kok converts or the change the person. However, it is always possible that the MB/DMB (if non muslim) to assign such religion-related obligations to a representative from the EXCO – maybe someone who holds the Religious Affairs portfolio. We have seen in cases where the PM assigns Maximum Ongkili for some Christian-related functions/events before. » Read more: Selangor living in the past
