The reason given by Deputy Speaker to avoid “the chaotic scenes during the last session of parliament in the lobby”.
Thus, the media has began boycotting the all the press conference and events held outside the Dewan Rakyat hall as revealed by Malaysiakini. So, who needs who now?

What is the opinion or comment of the Indian community on this? What do you, the man (woman) in the street have to say? Agree? Disagree? Hurt? Angry? Don’t Care? Feel hopeless?
Should they be released? Should they be brought to court for a fair trial? Should we instead ask for those who claim these people are linked to terrorists to be put under ISA?
Having a hard time wondering how long is 200 days? Well, sit back and think what you have done since 1st January 2008. Changed career, met a new love, bought new things, voted in elections, paying higher for petrol, met new friends, watched plenty of movies, attended weddings, graduated, went for holiday, involved in new hobby, learned new skill, moved house, got married, and many, many more things would have happened in the last 6 months. Feels like a long time doesn’t it?
Share your thoughts please.

While cosmetics and personal care are becoming a multbillion dollar industry, those folks at Kota Bahru Municipal Council are planning to cause a small dent in sales for areas in Kota Bahru. The council had issued a circular banning female muslim women working in business premises from wearing “thick make-up, bright coloured lipstick and high-heeled shoes which made a tapping sound. Those who insisted on wearing high-heeled shoes should choose those with rubber soles“.
It was issued to “prevent incidents like rape and illicit sex as well as to safeguard the morals and dignity of Muslim women in Kelantan“.
This is in addition to existing directive – “wearing of scarves (tudung?), which should cover the chest and not be of transparent material, blouses with long sleeves, which were long and loose, as well as socks”.
My questions: Where is the research or study that was undertaken in Kabul Bahru are that proves use of lipstick and tapping-sound-making high heels causes incidents like rape and illicit sex? Can the rakyat get a copy of the study?

All religions are equal, according to Buddhist teaching
– The Star
Doesn’t he know that comparing Islam with other religions as equals will infuriate some (many/all?) of the muslims in the country? Is he baiting certain people to condemn him? Surely he knows that in Islam, only their religion is correct and everyone else is wrong. Its not like Hinduism or Buddhism.
Guess what, he also says that funds will be given fairly to all religion. Gasp!
Plus, he clarifies that Penang will never be an Islamic state (well, as long he is around, anyway).
Islam is the official religion of the country, but the freedom of worship is enshrined in our Federal Constitution.
“Nobody can take away this freedom and this right must be enjoyed by all of us forever.
Worse still, he informed that an inter-religious council had been formed:
We have also formed an inter-religious council called Majlis Silaturahim to promote goodwill and understanding among all religions
How can we forget the fate of IFC (inter-faith council) which was rejected even before formation. Some quarters (PAS including?) held protests against plan to form the IFC, citing that it will put Islam on par with other religions. So how could he proceed with such a committee? Isn’t it against the law or something? Surely its wrong? Would he be taken in under ISA? Unless of course, there’s nothing forbidding him from establishing such a council. No legal issues, no constitutional problems unlike the ones imagined by Nazri.
