I FIND the report “Chua: PAS does not value multi-racial Malaysia” (Sunday Star, May 6) frank, interesting and deserves the attention of all. In a multi-racial and multi-religious Malaysia, it is undeniable that religions are of paramount importance, if the country is to achieve Vision 2020, where all citizens will be able to enjoy the [...]
Many people overlook the fact why Anwar Ibrahim has a grudge against UMNO/BN. Anwar did not leave UMNO/BN on his own free will. He was SACKED, as such he will ALWAYS have a grudge against and will always condemn UMNO/BN. Had he left on his own free will because he was not in favour of the [...]
The excuse that Anwar could not make any changes when he was in the Barisan Nasional Government because he had no power to do so, is totally nonsense. If memory serves me right, he DID make ”significant” changes: 1. He introduced the nonsensical Bahasa Baku; 2. He changed the tempo of [...]
I wonder whether the Chinese community realises this; that the DAP has been saying that in Pakatan Rakyat, everything is in the open, and every component party has the right to state their stand on any subject and that their stand will be taken into consideration. In this way, DAP is indirectly telling the Chinese community that their [...]
OF late, every corner of Selangor is being saturated with buntings, posters and huge billboards with pictures of state government leaders saying “Thank you”.

IT is with deep regret that I am writing this letter at the age of 75. I am compelled to write these few words after having read an article on consumer activist S.M. Mohd Idris being dismissed as an “old man” by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (“CM hits back at CAP” – The [...]
I WRITE in response to the 1Care Forum organised by Parti Keadilan Rakyat in Sarawak on March 2 which I attended. As a member of the public and a retired civil servant, I wish to express my disappointment with the misinformation spread by the two speakers who represented PKR. Both Dr Ng Swee Chong and [...]
THE state government must ensure the appointment of new councillors is based on performance and not cronyism. We the residents have been facing a lot of problems in the last few years and have highlighted to our assemblyman and the state government but nothing seems to have changed. How are we going to accept a [...]
First of all, we wish to thank your beloved President, YB Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek for his powerful, meaningful and factual speech during the debate today. We would say that you have succeeded in addressing the actual fact of what was really happening in Malaysia, particularly to the Chinese Community. You have done your [...]
I REFER to “Loan scheme brings relief to students” (The Star, Dec 5). Thank you, MCA, for such gestures. That is the true spirit of 1Malaysia and it really pleases our multiracial rakyat. MCA, you have got it right there. Please continue with such schemes and I hope other political parties emulate your lead. It [...]
