Correct, correct, correct. Not penyangaks, not HINDRAF supporters, not BERSIH people, not lawyers, but residents, like you and me!!!

At first, I did not really take interest in this story. But the interest picked up when the residents and Grand Saga ding-donged with the barriers. One puts up, the other removes.

As MPs offered their views on apostasy, Zahid provides some details. He mentions that on Negeri Sembilan has law outlawing apostasy. So, if you want to convert out, best hope is Penang.

Secondly, Ms Tan was given counselling and was asked to consider her decision, but she prevailed.

Got to give it to the guy. He coolly gave his statement on TV that his prior statements are within the law and in the interest of the public. No way the AG can form a case of treason or sedition, he claims. But he better be aware that in Bolehland anything can happen. The whole country can believe in something, but the decision or action taken by those responsible will be totally opposite. I think its time Karpal make preparations to get out of the country for a short while 🙂

Meanwhile, three police reports were made earlier in the day. One by BN Backbenchers Club, one by a Malay NGO coalition, and the third By Tengku Adnan (UMNO Sec-Gen) after being ordered by PM. The accusers are confident that they have a case against Karpal. PM even said that AG will be making a case soon (shown on TV3 Nightline). Wonder how he decided that when the police have not even started the investigation. » Read more: Karpal under attack

My..my..my, when MCA talked about being vocal for the benefit of all Malaysians, no one would have expected them to use the the platform offered by PM – motion of thanks to the King for his royal address to drive in their point. First time in history, MCA were given the honor to thank the King. And what an earful it was!!! » Read more: MCA boss causes uproar in parliment by talking about conversion

a dangerous apology from Youth Chief

Is it an apology or not? Yeah, I’m nitpicking. Why is there an “if” in the apology when its crystal clear his action has hurt feeling of Malaysians?

Then, he goes on to apologise for “his failure for not upholding the Malay symbol”, as if he is forced to apologise and not necessarily really meant it. That apology looks like fanning racial sentiment to pit the Malays againsts the other communities.

Cue the organisations that will come in defence of him and start challenging others. » Read more: a dangerous apology from Youth Chief
