Reason why Deputy MB should be Muslim
March 21st, 2008 | Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email Prof Shad points out that the Deputy in Selangor may have to represent the Menteri Besar when the MB is not around, to attend the Council of Rulers meetings.
The menteri besar is also an ex-officio member of the Dewan Di-Raja (Council of Rulers). This means, when the MB is not around, the deputy has to sit on the council and has to be a Muslim to be able to perform duties in this council.
Well, Teresa Kok’s dream is shattered! Unless become Teresa Abdullah 😆
Prof Ramasamy remains the same

New info minister welcomes bloggers
March 20th, 2008 | Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email Unlike Mydin who called bloggers housewives etc., the new guy on the block is wise enough to start things on a fresh footing:
Q: The new media has exploded. Are you going to engage the bloggers at all?
A: Well, I wish I could see them. But I don’t know how many there are. Bloggers can be local and global. They can be everywhere and they emerge every day. They are important. In this explosion of information technology, everywhere is the centre of information. And people are free to express what they think. There is the good and bad about that. I wish we can sit down and talk to them and think openly what’s best for the country. That’s the bottom line.
