It has always been the wish of all our PM’s to make Malaysia world-famous and I am sure this time around they have succeeded in their objectives. Malaysia has now become globally famous for being such an “undemocratic” democratic country.

Mr.Farish,sir,a good article on globalisation.
We are going glocal !

The globalised world is moving at a very pace.
How can the Malays catch up whey they are running on crutches ?
When they can’t succeed,they will blamed the others.

Mr.Farish,sir,please help open the eyes of the Malays.
The Umnoputras with the NEP are destroying the Malays.

The Malays,like any other race,can be successful if they are willing to accept failures as there are no short -cuts in life.

What history? It is erased by BN Government. They erased the achievement by non-Malay (eg. demolish Bok-House, etc). They erase their sins upon rakyat (eg. billions of tax money wasted, demolish Hindu temples, blown up Mongalian, etc). They are going to do more harms to Malaysia by erasing more of our heritages, lessons of the past. If they can fix up the Judge, they can also fix up election commission. If anything get exposed, cover it up. Rewrite history until the story of Hang Tuah (Han Tu Ya) become a myth whether he was a chinese!

What history? Malaysia gain Independence without a bloody fight! Malaysians constitute of 3 races and we lived in harmony – something the United State should learn from us how to handle races integration. Malaysia Truly Asia. That’s what BN Government told us.

Is it human nature to lie oneself in order to feel good?

The fact is, it is already too late for the BN Government to change. 50 years of ruling has corrupted them too much. There will not be an extremely hurtful event to overthrown BN Government and create a new Malaysia. Just hope it is not a bloody one.

Mr. Lim.

I hope you can sit and talk to Mr. Anwar about the selection of candidates between DAP and PKR. Please do not split the votes again. Even if it means tossing the coin to decide if you cannot come to an agreement.

Priority and preference should be given to incumbents. Please choose only those that have a First Class Honours Degree or MBA. Don’t put people with IQs as low as those from MCA. Let them do the MENSA test.

I feel it is alright to sit with PAS. I feel it is the lesser of the two Devils. In politics, an enemy of my enemy, is my friend. But then again, PAS is not an enemy. Just different ideology.

Do something about the electoral rolls in Ipoh Timur, Ipoh Barat and Batu Gajah. Something fishy going on.

YB Lim,

Before parliament rest, can you remind the Hon Information Minister to post your comment inside RTM official website? He could have forgotten.

On the other hand, it could be a waste of time too. NOBODY is turning to that useless website.. except the few dozens paid to do the posting. For that matter, I read HINDRAF comments in KPMU too, but too bad it attracted only one (1) comment.

Me oso wanna US$1 million!

…for each Malaysian Indian of Hindu faith — US$1 million — was enticement enough to bring thousands of Indians who felt they had been marginalised to the heart of Kuala Lumpur yesterday. … Hindraf was victorious in luring people to turn out by promising them riches beyond their imagination — an impossible dream.

I am so proud that Malaysia made headlines again yesterday.

I am so proud that our government showed the world our Malaysian hospitality.

Welcome to Malaysia, the Police State.

The Hindraf rally and how the police reacted was all over the globe when BBC carried them side by side Pakistan stories.

Probably Pak Lah is too busy to watch TV or read internet.

To him and his dinasours, the whole world watch RTM and surf RTM’s website only.

If India were to interfere in the domestic affairs of Malaysia and champion the cause of Malaysian Indians ( a role meant for the MIC) would that not be against the interest of Malaysian Indians? Their loyalty would then be made to appear by UMNO leaders as suspect.

I do not think Indian leaders are that stupid as to want to interfere in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state.

“The reaction from Hindus worldwide has been quick, and now there is much speculation about how Ã¢â‚¬â€œ or rather when Ã¢â‚¬â€œ the Hindu lobby in India, Europe and the United States will react.”

Wait a minute! Yesterday I just heard Malaysia and India will begin talks on FTA between the two countries early next year. Some kind of reaction this is!

Farish A Noor,

I am waiting for the honourable Information Minister to put your comment into the government’s RTM official website. So far, even his threat to place YB Lim’s “racist” comments there hasn’t materialised. I hope he hasn’t forgotten.

This is Pak Lah’s reply:

A section of the population is looking for a place to address their grouses, the door to seek redress is closed – that is the signal given out.

A sad day.

No doubt the internet has changed things but have they done enough? This is not a big enough issue for the rest of the world to bother. Did the world bother that much about Korean women victimized by Japanese soldiers? Have the world acted enough against Burma? No.

Without widespread broadband locally, the internet is not going to play that big a role in this issue.

Abdullah is a weak leader, his reaction to this at best is not to further pander to the reliable conservative base of UMNO led by his SIL. I would not bet on him being that weak. If you ask me, the smart thing to do would have been to pander even more to the conservative base for the next election.

The best the opposition can hope for is his hesistancy and PAS should pick up on it and that is the best that can be hoped for.

Farish in one Malay who is “a full fledged Malaysian” in every sense of the word. If only the government listens to you.
Is the government keep on dismissing and denying the plight of this dispossessed and disenfranchised Indians?
And worse, the government is now projecting this very people as trouble makers and a nuisance.
The Indians wrath, instead of being smothered, has been escalated and allowed to smoulder.
If only the government had allowed them to assemble peacefully and deliver the note to the British Embassy, the incident would not have been repeated on Al Jazeera every hour of the day.
