Kedah DAP to stay in state Pakatan

-
The Kedah DAP state committee had decided that they will not leave the Kedah Pakatan after some misunderstandings are cleared and the PAS-led state government had decided to form an action committee consist of DAP, PKR and PAS to resolve oustanding matters internally.

Congratulations to Pakatan once again for demonstrating their maturity in resolving those issues in a friendly, fair and just way. It shows that the Pakatan had again shown their transparency and openness in setting things straight.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo.

The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
