Let Deepavali 2012 usher in a festival of light over darkness and the triumph of truth, freedom and justice over all forms of corruption, discrimination and exploitation especially in the impending 13th general elections.
Fifty-five years after Merdeka in 1957, many Malaysians have been left out of the mainstream of developments with the fruits of growth and progress hijacked by a small group of privileged people and their cronies, while the large majority of Malaysians regardless of race, religion and territory have been marginalised and discriminated against.
Deepavali 2012 will be most meaningful if it set into motion a train of developments culminating in the 13GE where these historic injustices and inequalities, whether political, economic, educational, social, cultural and religious, are put right.

Let there be lights to chase away the evil devils.
Najib will go to Batu Caves but he dares not enter the temple. He will only stay outside. Otherwise he might face criticisms.

MIC has taken a leaf off UMNO’s copybook. They have resorted to lying about the batu caves condo scandal, and now they are hosting Deepavali right in front of Lord Murugan. I predict the skies will open up on Tuesday just as Najib arrives. Even the Gods weep for 1Malaysia.

After Deepavali, DAP and PKR’s Indian voters MUST spin the Batu Caves fiasco for all its worth. Its really the Indian version of National Feedlot Corporation (NFC)…IF PR can hold on to most of the Indian votes from ’08, it frees up its option to boldly deal with Sabah & Sarawak and even the heartland of Johor..
There is a lot more mileage that can be had with Batu Caves project – how come the head of temple is SO RICH? Dig deeper into BN Indian leader’s wealth – Kohilan, the 3 MIC reps on the council.
Its not just the Batu Caves thing will impact MIC, it impacts Najib – Perkasa has already noticed how much Najib has wasted getting the Indian votes only to lose it at the eleventh Hour and in no mood to let Najib do anything…
This means that PR can even sell a weak Najib in Johor, Sabah & Sarawak that will get votes across the spectrum..
Frankly its a gold mine for Pakatan..

Dear Sherrif Singh, Pas fellows won’t even enter the Batu Caves temple compound! That’s the trouble with those fellows. Hats off to Najib if he visits for thosai and some nambikai. But Putrajaya off to Najib too!
Happy Deepavali to all Malaysians, especially my Hindu Brothers and Sisters.

Najib said that BN would cancel the Batu Caves condo project if it wins Selangor. Somebody forgot to tell him that it was a BN-approved project. Somebody forgot to tell him that BN’s hands were caught in the cookie jar.

Or maybe Najib thinks that the Indians can be conned by the cowboys.
