Heard that Karpal gave a good submission. Let’s see what Abdul Gani says tomorrow. My feeling is that the appeal will be rejected. Release of the 5 will look bad on PM, and he is having enough problems on his hand already. Most likely a change of PM may bring upon the release of the 5 detainees. » Read more: HINDRAF 5 appeal hearing

DAP to look into Sivasubramaniam’s grouses
April 3rd, 2008Not sure if Sivasubramaniam will be taken to task and discplined. For him, what he did was right, but then after being explained, he said it is misunderstanding. Probably he was frustated and had received many iniquiries from the Indian community in Buntong and Perak. I think DAP have to seriously keep an eye on Perak since problems have been cropping up since election nomination time itself. » Read more: DAP to look into Sivasubramaniam’s grouses

sivasubramaniam about turn
April 3rd, 2008After saying he resigned, Siva made a major U-turn after 6 hours. There’s few things one can summarise from this drama:
1. I suspect that there are some some of pre-election agreement by DAP candidates to quite their seats if the decided to jump parties. Maybe Sivasubramaniam was reminded of this and any legal action that could be taken against him by DAP if he resigned. » Read more: sivasubramaniam about turn
MIBA questions meeting with EPU by YSS
April 2nd, 2008While MIBA was busy arguing about YSS’s initiative, its interesting to note that EPU have not done anything (at least that we know of) on the previous recommendations by MIC/YSS nor after PM met the NGOs early this year. And EPU is directly under PM’s department! And I still think the community should aim for 10%. Who in the first place set the meagre 3% target? » Read more: MIBA questions meeting with EPU by YSS
