Well, if areas in Gombak also can be like this, what more of places like Sg Petani or interiors of Sabah, Sarawak, Pahang etc!

60 years means the since before election until now! If we can get worked up over Astro signal loss or short power breakouts, imagine families that don’t have televisions, fans, air-conds, etc. throughout their lives…Permanent power failure for 60 YEARS? » Read more: no water no electricity for last 60 years

The letter Hindraf submitted to UN is below.

It is mentioned that 100,000 people attended November 25 rally, which I think is incorrect. Other points can be debated fiercely, but I think it highlights the grouses of the community, even though it may use extreme examples at times.

Got this letter via email. The little girl, Vwaishhnavi, who was supposed to give roses to PM during Roses for PM campaign (Valentine week) is now targetting the King.

This time, there’s no mention of hundreds of kids or any supporters’ presence. » Read more: Vwaishhnavi want to give rose to King

Manoharan must be sworn-in within six months after the general election, or forced to lose his seat and face a by-election

Manoharan wants to be sworn in like the others, but all signs indicate it will be done at the detention camp. Selangor MB gives a differing opinion that “Mano will be sworn in the Dewan” meaning there are plans to get him released. But this must be done in 6 months time (4 1/2 more left).

Let us pray for a speedy release! » Read more: All sworn in except Manoharan
