no consensus from BN Youth on HINDRAF 5

While the focus was on “is-it-an-apology-or-not” from Hishamuddin over the keris display, I was attracted to what Vigneswaran said on the discussion about HINDRAF ISA detainees. According to him, no consensus was attained. He said he explained MIC’s stand during the BN Youth meeting. As far as I can recall, MIC, MCA, Gerakan have called for the detainees’ release. Not sure on stand of parties from East Malaysia, and I don’t see a reason for them to oppose. That leave only one culprit. No prizes for guessing why consensus was not reached. Does this mean that the rest of them are there just to make numbers, as we suspected all along?

Reaching a consensus is easy. They can choose to agree, disagree, leave it to PM or any other decision.  This also cannot do? » Read more: no consensus from BN Youth on HINDRAF 5

And MIC still wonders why it lost! And others wonder why Makkal Sakthi has full support of the people on the ground. This is in relatively developing Kedah, not yet interiors of Pahang, Sarawak, Sabah, Kelantan, or Perak. » Read more: 51 years without piped water

After making a mess of denying the renewal of Makkal Osai’s publishing permit, Home Minister providers more comedy time for us.

I can only shake my head in amazement at the attempts these guys make!

In Putrajaya, Syed Hamid explained that the ministry had not cancelled Makkal Osai’s permit but merely delayed the approval for renewing its publishing licence. He said the newspaper’s permit had expired and its management had applied for renewal.

“(In the appeal letter) they said they needed to publish the newspaper and that they were supporting many people.

“They pledged to abide by the guidelines and contribute to nation-building efforts. I think their request was reasonable, so I approved it,” he told reporters yesterday.

TAFE students get Aussie training chance

Previously, there is an issue of whether TAFE programs are LAN (MQA) accredited. Its website at www.tafeseremban.edu.my states that its diploma programmes are LAN accredited.

But frankly speaking, this move by Samy is excellent. More Indians are looking beyond Malaysia due to the rampant discrimination in the education and employment sectors. Thus, by offering a job offer (training/attachment) overseas, it hugely increases the chance for global employment and relocation to another country. Maybe, just maybe, Samy realises that no point begging the government any more? Might as well do something useful and try gain some forgiveness from the community.

My knowledge in TAFE is purely based on what others mentioned, and none of it sounds good. Only negative news. Please comment if you have any good things to say. » Read more: TAFE students get Aussie training chance

Prof Ramasamy difficult to reach?

Not sure how true this is, but the Prof should seriously look into hiring volunteers and helpers. I think he is involved in many committees and positions since winning the election and becoming Deputy CM. If this problem persists, it would undermine him, and people will start to think differently. Did we vote for the right person?

Anyway, the reason he is alleged to be busy is because the previous assemblymen left a lot of pending work for him, or so it goes…  😯
