Put it this way, if it were a Bangladeshi who died while in police custody, would the MPs, VIPs, ethnic NGOs and groups and yourself storm into the mortuary to take photographs of his body, demanded a second post-mortem, and taken part in his procession?

Malaysians seem to forget that Malaysia’s economy is a heavily subsidized one. Not only is oil heavily subsidized, but so are other commodities such as flour, sugar, rice and cooking oil.

It was a marriage of convenience for DAP-PKR-PAS.
DAP wanted Penang, PAS wanted to go national, and PKR wanted its big gun to be PM.
But what’s happening today? Some disgruntled indians from PKR are threatening to leave the party that they had rode during the politial tsunami. These small minority of Indian folks seem to be out of base and not realistic with their demands. They are more self-centered than arrogant than the UMNO politicians whom they hated. Let’s not forget that these are the leaders of the now banned and outlawed HINDRAF party that alleged that the Malaysian government has been committing racial genocide on their community. What absolute RUBBISH!
