While your fellow leaders continue to plunder and squander the nation, the rakyat are struggling to make ends meet.

On Kit Siang: What's this all about, Pak Lah?

Ah Chong: Go ahead Pak Lah, every word you now say only makes the rakyat more angry. Go ahead, investigate PKR, find out how they obtained the secret document. The fact is still that while your fellow leaders continue to plunder and squander the nation and rob the poor; the rakyat are struggling to make ends meet. There are hardcore poor Malaysians in the rural heartlands.

The BN leaders have lost touch with the people and are totally directionless on the progress of this nation. I only look forward to the day Malaysia can have a two-party system with a mature democracy, and the opposition is not just the opposition forever but actually a government in waiting.

On Premier treatment for Perth restaurant

Meng: Mahathir is right - this PM has family everywhere doing all sorts of business. If he was in Perth opening a restaurant, was it in his capacity as the brother of the proprietor or was it as the PM of Malaysia?

It appears that our prime minister has the time to even fly to Perth to open a Malaysian restaurant Malaysia is becoming a laughing stock of the world. .

Oh by the way, did the government of Malaysia pay for the unofficial visit or did MAS pay for it? While the people suffer from a devastating flood and the rest are fuming over toll hikes, our leaders are jet-setting everywhere for holidays. Something is not right with this picture.

MO8: It was reported that some ministers were on leave while Johor was flooded! There is a proverb which states: "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Where is the friend when there is a need? In times of crisis, your friends are expected to come running to help you.

Is it true that the PM was in Perth to open a restaurant when the flood hit Johor? Amazing indeed if the reports are true!

Of course, everybody is eligible for a holiday. But when a crisis hits town, help is badly needed, holiday or no. And what happened to the slogan "leadership by example"? Or is it "do what I say, but do not do what I do"?

On Disabled group: Come down! MPS president: Come up!

AY: Why is such an arrogant and inconsiderate people like Mr Zainal can become the council president? To bring lawyers and posters to his office doesn't mean that the protestors are not sincere to meet with him but the real problem lies in whether he would hear and understand with a sincere heart the plight of a disable man doing small business by the road side to provide food and shelter to his family. Is there really harm in doing so?

On Mongolian case - was Najib quizzed?

YSM: It is sad if somebody is out to protect himself and his position led to the murder of the Mongolian lady. Even if this person is not religious or do not know God, surely he must have a conscience.

The two UTK personnel assigned to the DPM have no strong motive except that they received instructions from somebody. Somebody higher up is involved. If the courts do not dig it up, the rakyat will have their own court of opinion.

Somebody's daughter just died a gruesome death and we have leaders worried about their political careers. The court will not hear the case till March 2008. Justice delayed is justice denied!
