Another lesson for the new Perak Menteri Besar. He is sure to have his hands full for next 5 years as many quarters are just waiting for gaffes or mistakes like these to happen. Anyway, at least he had the courtesy to admit his mistake. Next step should be to publish the apology in the media.

Now, how many of us know the difference between Sikhs and Bengalis? Easy to blame the MB, but I wonder how many would have made the same mistake if was in the same situation. » Read more: Perak MB confused between Sikhs and Bengalis

Since the ban was silently in place since January, now the sole champion of the Indian community has raised his concern. Never mind that the cabinet decision was taken during his time in the cabinet. » Read more: MIC asks temple workers ban to be lifted

I had a feeling that when Syed Radzi said the application will be approved based on “case by case” basis, its basically a ban. He denied that such a ban exists. The problem started after an announcement in early January stating that there is a ban since 31st December 2007. There were some confusion which even Samy Vellu did not escape. He announced the ban, in INDIA, and later retracted it. The ban was for foreign workers (excluding expatriates) in general from India and Bangladesh. MHS highlighted that the blanket ban would affect the temple-related workers as well. » Read more: Temples in quandry over cabinet ban

PAS wants to lead Pakatan Rakyat and aim for islamic state

 I’ve always had my doubt on PAS. I think anything based on religion will cause problem. So, this kind of statement only serves to alienate people from PAS. DAP will also suffer since people will start to question DAP.

To avoid Pakatan Rakyat from becoming another BN, PAs should not lead. It consists of Muslim-Malays, just like UMNO in BN. And we have seen how BN works. Its better for a multiracial party to lead Pakatan Rakyat.

I think DAP and PKR should merge, and let PAS to contest by itself in next election. » Read more: PAS wants to lead Pakatan Rakyat and aim for islamic state
