I refer to the malaysiakini report The 'monumental' debate .

The recent nasty exchanges between the DAP and Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin over the controversy regarding communists shows how much of dirt is flowing in Malaysian waters.

There is irresponsible behaviour on the part of Umno politicians but I also fail to see why we Malaysians need an extra war memorial when there are already a few war memorials in Malaysia.

Sometimes, opposition politicians from DAP or PAS or Keadilan provoke the government with stupidity and then sometimes its the Barisan Nasional which provokes the opposition.

All along, countries like Vietnam and India and China are diverting our foreign direct investment (FDI) . Malaysia is getting bad publicity from the international press.
