Managed to get on Internet today. Took the picture of sunrise (well, technically, it was already risen at 7.30am). And later in the afternoon, there was a complete rainbow for about 15 minutes. The weather is quite erratic over here. It rains at times in the afternoon or evenings, and even at night. Daytimes are quite hot when it is not raining.

The Sultan most likely will not entertain Manoharan’s request. The only option is to be sworn in at the center itself, as there is precedence for that. The sultan also does not have power to release Manoharan. Only the Home Minister can do that. » Read more: manoharan writes to sultan

I had a feeling that when Syed Radzi said the application will be approved based on “case by case” basis, its basically a ban. He denied that such a ban exists. The problem started after an announcement in early January stating that there is a ban since 31st December 2007. There were some confusion which even Samy Vellu did not escape. He announced the ban, in INDIA, and later retracted it. The ban was for foreign workers (excluding expatriates) in general from India and Bangladesh. MHS highlighted that the blanket ban would affect the temple-related workers as well. » Read more: Temples in quandry over cabinet ban

 I’ve always had my doubt on PAS. I think anything based on religion will cause problem. So, this kind of statement only serves to alienate people from PAS. DAP will also suffer since people will start to question DAP.

To avoid Pakatan Rakyat from becoming another BN, PAs should not lead. It consists of Muslim-Malays, just like UMNO in BN. And we have seen how BN works. Its better for a multiracial party to lead Pakatan Rakyat.

I think DAP and PKR should merge, and let PAS to contest by itself in next election. » Read more: PAS wants to lead Pakatan Rakyat and aim for islamic state
