Their final analysis indicates Utusan as the worst of the 6 papers monitored (gap between pro-BN and pro-oppositon was the highest) , while the Sun was the most partial (gap was lowest). The Sun also had the most neutral news, while both Tamil papers had the least neutral news. » Read more: Media bias during election campaigning period

Hmmm…average increase of 3.2% for Indian community to reach RM3799. Did your household income increase by 3.2% since year 2004 (4 year period from 2004-2007)? That means average of 0.8% per year. If RM2000 in 2004, should be RM2064 by end of last year. I guess my household did increase by more than 3.2%, but still I find the cost of living is squeezing life in urban areas. Maybe the higher income is not in tandem with higher cost of living. » Read more: household income increased in 2007

Grim outlook for Barisan allies

Analysis by Chok Suat Ling

IN the aftermath of Saturday’s political tsunami, Barisan Nasional has to now sift through the detritus and take stock of its future.Key party leaders in the MCA, MIC, Gerakan and People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP) were trounced. It would be fair to say that no one, not even the opposition, anticipated the massive Chinese and Indian vote swing which contributed to the decimation of the chiefs of the MIC, Gerakan and PPP in their seats. » Read more: More election analysis

The result of the poll: Is a strong opposition in parliment and state assemblies important to ensure check and balance?

Yes (96%, 176 Votes)

No (2%, 3 Votes)

No Idea what you are asking! (2%, 3 Votes)

Not bothered since I’m not even registered to vote (1%, 1 Votes)

Total Voters: 183

Even though 96% said yes, this survey is limited to Internet users, and especially those who are Indians (blog focuses on Indian community issues). Average age is between 22 and 50.
