Another lesson for the new Perak Menteri Besar. He is sure to have his hands full for next 5 years as many quarters are just waiting for gaffes or mistakes like these to happen. Anyway, at least he had the courtesy to admit his mistake. Next step should be to publish the apology in the media.

Now, how many of us know the difference between Sikhs and Bengalis? Easy to blame the MB, but I wonder how many would have made the same mistake if was in the same situation. » Read more: Perak MB confused between Sikhs and Bengalis

Today is the Hindu or Tamil (or both) New Year, depending on who you ask. The new year started at 7.28pm (but the temple that I went said 7.38pm).

I wish everyone a happy Sarvathiri new year. May the new year bring better tidings.

As for me, not a good start as  two motorbike racers grazed my car on the way back from temple, causing the front bumper to come off. That means a trip to the workshop tomorrow.

This is the kind of statement that puts off people. I suppose he is above detention centers 🙂

I’m not surprised with these statements. The milder versions will appear in the papers later, but since he is talking in a pro-Malay forum, what else can one expect? » Read more: no equality for non malays says Kelantan prince
