Surprising that the pledge appeared on Tamil papers only. It covered temples, tamil schools, civil service jobs, help for low income groups, business opportunities, and education. Rather than issuing broad pledges, why not talk about something concrete. At least it can be used as KPI or report card. I love to see the pledge to include “convert 20 schools per year into fully-aided status”, establish special investment fund of RM1billion for the poor, provide housing discount for those earning below RM2k, create special committee for temple management, etc. » Read more: PM gives new pledge to Indians

He’s listed as ‘unnamed’ and femalesource

KUALA LUMPUR: Not only was he listed as “Unnamed” in his birth certificate but to add insult to injury, he was listed as a “female”.

However, a slip-up at the National Registration Department cost him his citizenship and he ended up getting a red identity card meant for permanent residents instead of one for citizens. » Read more: More citizenship problems
