Earlier, PM said that it is not possible yet to have 2 indian ministers, when he announced the cabinet line-up. But Kayveas comes out in support of 2 Indian minister idea, saying that BN could have gained back some support from the community. I doubt it. The community will not be taken by free gifts and promises any more. They want to see results, not just appointments to important posts and creation of more committees and groups. » Read more: Kayveas supports 2 indian ministers

The tussle  for Perak DMB post is getting ugly. Looks like DAP starting to have “miscommunication” problems! DAP’s CEC (read: Lim Kit Siang) saying that PAS candidate was not endorsed, yet State DAP says it was agreed upon. Do we see a crack appearing somewhere?
