The Penang police took the unusual step of issuing warning that ISA may be used against those who are involved in rally tomorrow. It is widely known that there will be a rally tomorrow during the celebration of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. This rally will be hijacked to protest against the new government. No prizes for guessing who’s behind it. The impact of such rally can be felt by one of Penang’s icons – the Nasi Kandar. The Indian Muslim restaurants claim that people are boycotting their places, since some of those who rallied last week looked like Indian Muslims, instead of Malays. » Read more: nasi kandar suffers as ISA threat looms in Penang

SV admits that the community “still had to fight” for their rights, and his probably right that the political situation is not suitable yet. Perhaps in 5 years time, it will be. A proper survey of Indian voters need to be done to understand the reasons for the vote swing. Is it due to maturity or in anger against the government, MIC, and SV (not necessarily in that order). Each voter would have his/her own reasons…and not all voters voted for the Malaysia Malaysian. Probably high in the rankings would be support for equal rights, support for HINDRAF, “anything but BN” mentality, hatred against SV/MIC, protest againsts price hikes, support for opposition, ideology, and local issues (ineffective earlier representatives). » Read more: Only MIC can do it says Samy

Is it any surprise that protests are starting to appear in Penang and Selangor? Probably the parties involved want to emulate the success of earlier rallies and become another HINDRAF. Well, copying is the best of compliment I guess. » Read more: Hindraf lookalikes

 This is one of the most ridiculous thing I have heard this year! Maybe these guys forget that the money belongs to the country, not political parties or governments. Anyway, I think the new government had already mentioned that it will review all mega projects to judge its viability. Maybe these fellows have another reason to ask to stop these projects – it may implicate them in scandals! » Read more: Why Penang UMNO ask to cancel mega projects
