Looks like PAS is doing something extra for the Indian community in Kelantan. Everything starts well, let’s hope it goes on well. No news of cronyism, bribery, leaking roof, etc. will be great!

It was interesting to read the reports on March trade surplus. The Star projected a positive vibe, stating the surplus was higher if compared to corresponding month in 2007. However, MK put a negative note on the numbers, stating that the trade surplus is on the decline if compared to January and February 2008 values, and that imports grew 14.8% if compared to February. It did mention that exports grew 9.5% compared to February 2008, so that’s a bit of good news. » Read more: numbers talk

32% higher surplus? This caught my eye as well. That means one-third more than the previous year’s surplus.

The export dropped  11.3% while import dropped 6.3% if compared with previous month (January). That means we sold less things and also bought less things.  So how can difference increase by 32%? » Read more: 32 percent higher trade surplus

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu wants at least eight per cent of civil servants to be Indians. He said the number of Indians hired as civil servants fluctuated between 3.5 per cent and less than five per cent every year. “It is only fair if we have about eight per cent representation in the civil service as that should be sufficient to look into the problems plaguing the Indian community,” he said after chairing the party’s central working committee meeting at the MIC headquarters here yesterday. » Read more: Indian quota for civil service
