PAS President Datuk Abdul Hadi Awang and spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat have reached a consensus to shut down the notion of a unity government with UMNO. PAS' reconciliation has brought a win-win situation to the country's two-line system. On the other hand, there was a chaos again for the recent Perak Assembly sitting. As a result, the sitting was abruptly ended. The people and the country are the losers here.

"Indeed it's been announced, but no tax cuts. How to get cheaper cars?" "Then you'd better keep the old car!" "Not that easy either! The government says cars 15 years or older must go through checks before they can be on the road again!"

It was intended to be a happy camping trip. A total of 294 students from different primary schools excitedly crossed the suspension bridge after having supper to return to the camping site. All in a sudden, the bridge collapsed and 22 students fell into the rushing river. As a result, 19 students were saved, one drown and two missing.

The “good feelings” brought by some benefits in the 2010 Budget have been wiped off by the new National Automobile Policy (NAP). The government will continue protecting domestic cars, making the public suffer.

The 2010 Budget has made it very clear that the country aspires to be a high-income country. Perhaps, Malaysians can look forward to more comfortable life henceforth.

MCA leaders have recently cited quotations from numerous well-known Chinese language fiction writers. For you and me who are not familiar with literature, we have been deeply impressed to hear their words filled with morality, justice and sentiments.

Najib's 1Malaysia propaganda campaign, now in full swing, has taken on the uncanny appearance of a blitzkrieg that would have the Fuehrer of the Third Reich double up in the Reichstag in uncontrollable ecstasy.

A suspension bridge completed about a month ago suddenly collapsed and caused a tragedy. Once again, it sounded the alarm for Malaysian professional standards and perfunctory attitude. How could the anchor pulled out?

Perhaps we should congratulate Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. His guests were not sieged by a sea of red-shirts and did not have to make hurried escapes in choppers this time!

Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, who looks like MCA Deputy President but has failed to reinstate his position, said: “Half of them support me and half of them support him (Ong Tee Keat).”
