Do look into it, but that is why SPAD's blueprint masterplan etc does not include any projects for Sabah/Sarawak.

Why can't they renegotiate the contract, and if Brahim's decides to launch a suit for compensation, Malaysian taxpayers make them pay lah by boycotting their products. We are now such experts at boycotting without basis - McDonald's, Cadbury's to name a few, why not this then?

Thumbs up to all! :D Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:37:46 +0000 http://www.themalaysianinsider.com//malaysia/article/police-investigates-korean-tourist-with-quranic-top#IDComment856197396 http://www.themalaysianinsider.com//malaysia/article/dap-raps-bn-wanita-wings-for-not-pushing-for-law-reforms-on-unilateral-conv#IDComment839938691 The past is the past. Don't castigate and bleat. Seize on the moment now and work together in a non-partisan manner to push this forward! It's bloody important for the sake of our children.

It is criminal, and ironic when they say much worse things about DAP in return with impunity. How many times has it been called racist chinese pigs, chauvinist, etc?

If you think what you say will not affect anyone, then go ahead and say it, otherwise, this is the consequence," he said during a working visit to Penang in conjunction with the Bukit Gelugor by-election.

On nomination day, how many speeches by PAS, PKR and DAP speakers also pointed out that she is easy on the eyes to get laughs and cheers from the crowd? Get your own guys in line as well, I say!

Quite shameful behaviour by Rayer here. Much more relevant issues to be discussed than the rubbish brought up here. And I think the countercomments by BN Backbenchers totally appropriate. Concentrate on getting work done guys, instead of blowing hot air!

Just poor elderly ladies targeted in early morning to take their bags. Do note they were in normal clothes, not habits. There is plenty of religious distrust and hate already without us fanning more flames on unfounded speculation and bias.

Of course extra must be budgeted in case more people turn up, etc. so easily extra 20-25% there. As far as government wastages go, I think this one is not too bad, and there are much worse areas to focus on lah. Of course can be better, but not too bad lah. Maybe I'm just too jaded? Hmm..

Congratulations on a job well done!

EIU also knows how to do its job, as do people in Bank Islam. Analysts always place different calls on stocks depending on their analyst, and a smart investor will look at the data they used to come to their own conclusion. Similarly, PR and PR supporters need to look at the areas highlighted by EIU here and realise their shortcomings and fix them pronto!

Everything I've read here seems to indicate the economy is doing fairly robustly, but of course external global conditions may shake that up in the future, but for now, it seems the economy is doing fine, no matter how this article tries to spin a worrying thread into it :P Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:11:00 +0000 http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/analysts-see-inflation-rising-gathering-pace#IDComment549962967 http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/najib-raps-selangor-for-water-crisis-blame-game#IDComment542930616 it's called accountability. look it up.
