Earlier, NUPW tried their luck with Fong Chan On. Now its Dr S.Subramaniam they want to meet. Having  COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) would certainly help, but what would happen when the prices of  the commodities go down? » Read more: NUPW to renew duel with Human Resource Ministry

Earlier, NST reported that there may be 3 Indian EXCO’s in Perak, with DAP “allocating” 2 seats out of 6, and PKR “allocating” 1 out of 3. There were even confident words from a DAP “insider” as well in the report.

The indian community hopes and prays for a speedy return of the five people. » Read more: HINDRAF 5 detention to be reviewed

I was shocked to read that Rapid Penang is halting its service to KOMTAR area due to harassment to its workers. Are we living in some cowboy town or third world country??? Come Penangites, show those criminals who’s the boss!!! Boycott those companies who are giving problem. Even the newspapers are scared to name the bus companies, instead saying that “other buses” and “other companies”. » Read more: Thugs in control of Penang public transport?
