He has to go. He is the fish with the rotten head. MIC's problem will be better solved with him gone.
On Indian votes will swing unless...
Subra: KP Samy is totally right. The BN government and all MBs and menteris besar are not in the know with regards to the problems the Indians face. The MBs deal with the MIC assemblypersons and the cabinet with Samy Vellu.
The poor grassroots problems are never raised. For God's sake, the people in power should make an effort to deal directly with the Indians. Due to MIC's existence, the Indians have lost lots of opportunities.
Nirmala Naidu: A brilliant piece of news! It really gets to the bottom of what Hindraf is actually all about. No one else has written as accurately. I agree, Samy Vellu has to go. He is the fish with the rotten head. MIC's problem will be better solved with him gone.
Pathma: KP Samy is getting personal about Subra and Samy Vellu. The Indians have crossed the bridge. The points raised by Hindraf have to be addressed by strong and positive actions.
PM Abdullah must wake up and form a national action initiative on the temple issue and the other grievances.
Chan: BN is playing the racial issue. So far there has been no Hindu temple demolition in Kelantan under the PAS government. The Indians will fully support the opposition in the coming election.
On Dr M fears corruption in general election
Ehchang: It is understandable that we can't help being cynical about Dr M's criticisms of the current state of affairs in Umno and the BN government. Many of the ills that the country is are attributable to his leadership of Umno and the country.
However it is still a positive development that the old man is voicing out against the party that he led for 22 years and the successor that he handpicked. Any help from him to weaken this corrupt ruling gang of looters should be welcomed, even if it is from Dr M whom many of us sane Malaysians hated for so long.
On ' Unseen hand' manipulating inquiry
JC: In answers given to the commission on an issue as important as the corruption of the judiciary, ‘I can't remember’ seems to be the most common response.
What is amazing is that this seemingly standard response came from our former prime minister (Mahathir) and two chief justices of our highest court (Eusoff and Fairuz).
Having to toil under the burden of such forgetful minds, isn't it amazing that these people could run the executive and judicial arms of government for so many years?
On Mahathir defends Suharto's legacy
OD: Of course Mahathir would defend Suharto's legacy. Suharto was basically Indonesia's 'Mahathir'.
Let's see the similarities. He ruled with an iron fist, his kin became very rich, his friends got all the lucrative contracts, political opponents were routinely jailed, some were labelled communists when they were not, the press was muzzled.
Except for the mass deaths, they were both different sides of the same coin. I'm betting that Mahathir would say the same of Mugabe too.
On Two nights in a police lock-up
Nirmala Naidu: This is totally unfair. Innocent people are charged for crimes which they did not commit. How can this happen? I believe they are doing this to frighten the others.
They will keep on charging and threatening the people until we all give up and become cowards. I feel sorry for the journalist but I salute you.
