vox populi small thumbnail'Badrul, even if you were at the 'opening ceremony', you still need to explain why you have been absent since then.'

Speaker: Badrul lied, EC given vacancy notice

Harrisman: If I were Badrul Hisham Abdullah, I would be so ashamed that I wouldn’t know where to put my face. He is elected to serve the people but was absent. Now he is claiming he attended one session.

Okay, so he attended one session, but isn’t that still shameful? How can you serve the people with this kind of attitude?

Onyourtoes: Badrul, even if you attended the Nov 8 ‘opening ceremony’, you still need to explain to us why you have been absent since then. Did you not collect your salary and other allowances every month since you were elected?

It is precisely lazy and irresponsible people like you who are now not in Pakatan Rakyat. What else need we say further about the party that accepts you?        

Atan-Toyol: If you want to lie, Badrul, take off the songkok and never wear it again. Otherwise, you shame the entire Malay-Muslim people. Lying is not an Islamic value.            

Johan A: Well done speaker! But we cannot celebrate yet. I suspect the party with no conscience will manipulate the Election Commission and the courts to come up with some idiotic pronouncements. Watch out!

Pakman: Badrul Hisham cannot think for himself but has to rely so much on the lies spread by Umno that he even believed that he was all the while present during the disputed date.

He is so inept that he can't even check his attendance and probably refer to the Hansard.

Monochrome: Sleeping on the job for six months and now caught. Just another lazy and useless state assemblyperson, now gone for good. Good for the state and the nation, but surprisingly Umno loves to defends these types of politicians.

Adcin: He can’t even tell the difference between budget session and a sitting...


Second post-mortem on custodial death victim

Zimbobwe: I feel deeply for M Krishnan's wife and family... to lose a loved one for no reason whatsoever and in such a nightmarish and inhumane manner. No crime established, yet allegedly beaten to dead.

And the home minister thinks it's all okay. Anybody who still respects and trusts the uniformed thugs deserve to undergo what A Kugan and Krishnan experienced.

Cala: Ask any decent sociology student about this latest incident of death in police custody, and he will tell you one should take a broader view and at a higher level to account for such police brutality.

Researchers of common-pool resources (that all forms of lives are precious and collectively we all own them) will use the institutional analytical development framework (IAD framework) to explain the spate of deaths of Indian origin under the care of the enforcement agencies.

Is it not a social problem? Who is to solve it? Who else but the regime.

AnakBangsaMalaysia: I really wonder if our rate of deaths in custody has not already exceeded the national murder rate. How many more people must die before the police/MACC/law enforcement agencies are properly held accountable?

Anonymous_3f35: The only question is can the new pathologist Dr K Mathiharen be trusted to report as befitting the Hippocratic oath he took or shall he be a hypocrite and report as requested by the powers-that-be?

John Ho: Another open verdict?


Defiant Gobala snubs PKR show-cause letter

Malayamuda: From N Gobalakrishnan’s Twitter messages you can see clearly that he is not bothered about the Sivan temple or vote-buying. He is just playing ‘sour grapes’ that he was not chosen as a vice-president in PKR.
                                
Call Me Jibby: Just like when the senile old doctor didn't receive his ‘AP royalty’, he opened the can of worms about the minister in Trade Ministry controlling the APs distribution. These worth-watching dramas would never exist if Gobala had been appointed vice-president, instead of the non-Tamil N Surendran.    

Sad: This trouble-maker has shown his true colours. It is better for him to go back to MIC.
    

PAS Youth forum moots changes to 'Interlok'

Ridzuan: It is better to remove it completely from schools in order to promote unity among all races. The author should know clans and tribes of India before making general statements. There are so many different groups from India and all of them cannot be labelled as pariahs.    

Adha: PAS is trying to find a win-win solution. Whether the dialogue works or otherwise, let’s give it a shot.
                                    
JBGuy: Excellent work by PAS Youth. If only the BN would handle the issue in such a logical and rational manner, things would not be what it is today.
