‘Makkal Sakthi should continue the struggle and support the PKR candidate. Some people have failed to understand that PR is just one year old and it is now undergoing a testing period.'

On Hindraf will not help PKR's Manikumar

Ko-han Wai: Its really funny when you see these Hindraf leaders and former Jerai division chief B Kalaivanar throwing tantrums and demanding this and that.

Just because DSAI fielded someone other than these people, they now shout ‘Boycott' and some are even praying for PKR to lose in Bukit Selambau.

Hindraf, you want equality and rights for the Indian Malaysian community. The only way for this is to support Pakatan and throw the BN government out.

Then only can there be change. But now, great. Go ahead and boycott PKR in Bukit Selambau. Pray for their loss.

MIC and Samy Vellu have been able to control and abuse you all for the past 50 years. Let them abuse you for another 50 years or more.

Makkal Sakthi? I really doubt it. You all sound more like children to me.

B Kalaivanar, you quit just because DSAI did not field you as a candidate and you gripe about all the things you did for the party before. So what?

You became a PKR member to serve the people. But this goes to show you want to become the people's master instead of servant. You quit? I say good riddance.

What is your real purpose in running for a state assembly person's post anyway?

For the good of the people in Bukit Selambau or because you want to be state exco member? Only you know that yourself.

Anyways, with all the independents running around, I am not surprised if PKR loses the seat. Well, good. Return to BN and tyranny. Let them abuse the country for another 50 years.

Paramasivam: I refer to recent statements by some failed leaders that they will not support the Bukit Selambau candidate from PKR.

This is disappointing. These leaders are greedy and only have personal interests. Makkal Sakthi should continue the struggle and support the PKR candidate.

Some people have failed to understand that Pakatan Rakyat is just one year old and it is now undergoing a testing period different fro before.

As such, the Indians have to be united in the struggle if we want changes for our future. Let us stay united.

On PKR's Kalai quits over by-election snub

Vj: My question for Mr Kalaivanar and his supporters:

1. Why keep quiet about Anwar being a ‘pharaoh' only until you are not chosen as candidate? Why didn't your voice out your dissatisfaction about PKR long before a by-election?

2. All your hard work for PKR is only meant for you personally only? Not for the Indians and Malaysians in general?

3. Can I assume that Anwar made the right decision in choosing Manikumar and not you because you are only interested in rewards?

Gina Phan: If he (Kalaivanar) was so disappointed with PKR, why was he even interested to be their candidate?

Duh...

On Claims of phantom voters surface again

Chuacj: It is a shame. Don't tell me the EC do not know how to use computers? This can be easily done by sorting out their database. Even Excel can do that.

How long does the government want to cheat the rakyat ? How stupid do you think we are?

Nowadays, we can also have the Fingerprint reader. This will be most accurate in terms of recognising the voter rather than having three to four ‘blur' officers sitting in the hall to do the job.

If I am not mistaken, their job is actually to mark the voting paper so that they can check who voted for who later.

On DVD arrest: BN's increasing intolerance 'worrying'

RJM: It is silly and ridiculous for the police to continue their harassment of politicians from the opposition.

The police force has become the subject of ridicule and is losing its authority and credibility.

Let the arrests continue for surely the day will come when the cases will be brought forth for trial.

On that occasion Karpal Singh will have the cases laughed out of court and the prosecution will be left scratching their heads.

On Incoming No 2: Polls not a referendum on new boss

Timmy Say: I remember clearly that our politician said our votes are the loudest voice of all in the process of democracy.

If we are unhappy with certain quarters who have neglected our welfare, we can always use our votes to show them our anger.

Therefore our vote is our voice, and it will be our referendum on whom we support and oppose; on whom we consider leaders or not.

A leader can choose not to treat the poll results as a referendum; but please do not ask the people to not treat the polls as a referendum.

Their vote is the only voice that speaks volumes in Malaysia's style of democracy.

On Umno to zoom in on Nizar's defiance of sultan

Andrew Goh: Umno accuses PAS MB Nizar of treason for going against the Sultan's decision.

So if the Agong were to pick say Razaleigh instead of Najib to be the next PM, will Umno accept it or challenge the Agong and thus by their own reasoning, commit treason against the Agong?

On 'MIED not authorised to give out study loans'

Yuvan: When did SA Vigneswaran find out that Mied is not authorised to give out study loans? It appears like he knew about this when he was in the MIC as its Youth chief.

Why did he not bring this matter to the attention of the party leaders then? Did he initiate any action to rectify this ‘anomaly'?

It is always easy to ‘point fingers' but Vigneswaran, who is in the legal profession, should have known that something was not right when Mied's board did not hold regular meetings as required by law ‘except for signatures collected during the party's CWC meetings' as alleged by him now. Was he not in the CWC?

There is always some ‘grey area' when entities for educational development, social services and charitable activities are formed as companies under the Companies Act.

The interpretation of some activities undertaken by these companies becomes subjective, especially when they are managed by political parties as non-profit organisations.

The Companies Commission Malaysia (CCM) should introduce clear guidelines for these type of companies formed by political parties and NGOs.

The CCM should also find out if there is a need to introduce additional regulations and/or amendments to the laws under its purview as these companies handle huge amounts of money received in the form of donations and sponsorships from the public and corporations.
