Prof Shad points out that the Deputy in Selangor may have to represent the Menteri Besar when the MB is not around, to attend the Council of Rulers meetings.

The menteri besar is also an ex-officio member of the Dewan Di-Raja (Council of Rulers). This means, when the MB is not around, the deputy has to sit on the council and has to be a Muslim to be able to perform duties in this council.

Well, Teresa Kok’s dream is shattered! Unless become Teresa Abdullah 😆

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 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

Padang Jawa Temple to be rebuilt (again?)

Now I’m confused. The new government has announced 10,000 sq ft land and RM40,000 from the developer. Great news, except that this was also announced last year by Khir Toyo! Does this mean the community is seeing double? Or is a case of promises made real? Khir Toyo promised, but Khalid approved it. No matter how it is looked at, the land and money is still coming from one source – the developer. Let’s see what the state government office, Khir Toyo, Samy Vellu, and Kamal Ganapathy said last year: » Read more: Padang Jawa Temple to be rebuilt (again?)

Manoharan willing to be EXCO but not shortlisted

While the new Selangor MB thinks that its not so urgent to get Manoharan sworn-in, the Bar Council thinks otherwise. For them, not having the ceremony will be depriving Manoharan of his privileges, access to documents, allowances, etc. Perhaps the new MB needs some capable legal advisors so that he can get the correct facts and then provide proper replies. The Bar Council also pointed out that the two ISA detainees who won in 1978 were sworn in at the Kamunting center itself. The NST published a photo of the swearing-in of Chiang Heng Kai, one of the detainees: » Read more: Manoharan willing to be EXCO but not shortlisted
