The Penang police took the unusual step of issuing warning that ISA may be used against those who are involved in rally tomorrow. It is widely known that there will be a rally tomorrow during the celebration of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. This rally will be hijacked to protest against the new government. No prizes for guessing who’s behind it. The impact of such rally can be felt by one of Penang’s icons – the Nasi Kandar. The Indian Muslim restaurants claim that people are boycotting their places, since some of those who rallied last week looked like Indian Muslims, instead of Malays. » Read more: nasi kandar suffers as ISA threat looms in Penang

Penang Hindu Endowments Board should be apolitical

The previous state government dished out the positions to politicians. The current government should not repeat the same mistake. They must set up a committee to short list and select suitable candidates to be in the board. There should be competent people well versed in religion and community issues. Politicians who lead will be seen as making skewed decisions or under influence of their political parties. I don’t think the assemblymen should be in the board.

Interesting Interview with Subang MP Sivarasa

Sivarasa vowed to bring up the issue of  HINDRAF ISA detainees. The parliment is going to be very interesting to follow. I hope TV will show it live 🙂

What we consider as key concerns, I would start with the issues like the ISA and release of the five Hindraf detainees.

Another interesting he mentioned was that MP “job” is “part-time” He still has his law firm to run!

Being an MP is not a full-time position, it’s a part-time thing. It’s an honorary position. It is not (an) executive (position). So I have to carry on (with my legal career). » Read more: Interesting Interview with Subang MP Sivarasa
