While waiting for Budget 2010, the one observation that I wish to make is that the very public display of conciliation by the leaders of the MCA is to be commended. Certainly the wounds are still fresh. Yes, cynics may say that they needed a pikestaff up their arses from Najib to get them to display the public conciliation...which, in a figurative sense may have been true. But, it's a start.
The one thing that piques my interest with a curl on my lips is the extract from The Star:
So.....is there anything that The Star report is alluding to? Might it be a pointer towards lingering, simmering matters that may fester and putrefy before breaking out as an angry pus-laden sore at some future date?
I'm not sure. As Mrs Pot sang to the Candlestand and the Clock in the Disney animation, Beauty and the Beast, maybe there's something there that wasn't there before (or, some such lyric).
The one thing that piques my interest with a curl on my lips is the extract from The Star:
At about 2.30pm, the press were ushered into the 9th floor meeting room.
Ong together with Dr Chua and other central committee members then entered the room and took their seats.
However, the chair next to Ong - meant for deputy president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai - was empty.
Everyone waited for a while but there was still no sign of Liow.
Party secretary-general Datuk Wong Foon Meng then walked in and had a word with Ong.
The two then went out of the room.
About 10 minutes later, Ong came back into the meeting room, followed by Wong, Liow and vice-president Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha.
As all Malaysians know, reading between the lines is an artform in a nation where leaders and their Press minions have mastered the dark art of saying things without so much saying so. These are gestures, nebulous words and phrases, body language and the like.So.....is there anything that The Star report is alluding to? Might it be a pointer towards lingering, simmering matters that may fester and putrefy before breaking out as an angry pus-laden sore at some future date?

Heavy-laden must be the hearts of fine minds who have to find inner succor from the lyrics of an animation...

On second thought, that's how political characterizations have been manifested in this country...as cartoons.
i am walla, the great.
Rather be forced to watch a wrestling video than be subjected to the tiresome spectacle of unprincipled Kapitans China wrestling for control of the MCA piggy bank. As far as I'm concerned, MCA and MIC are history.
bro walla, you are, indeed, the great one.
bro Antares, MCA and MIC are, indeed, historic. But, consigning them to the dust-heap of history may be premature...but do keep your bag of kuaci open, for there may be more chapters yet to be written :)
Bro
PM Najib's budget must rank as the worst since 1957.
It is a combination of petty and irrating taxes (on credit cards), u-turning (on RPGT)and screwing foreign investors for bringing in FDI's and creating a 2 Malaysia by reducing the top rate of tax by 1% and a special 15% rate for IRD.
I get the impression they know not what they do and are hiding the truth about the real shape of our Economy.
That's what we get for letting loose rank amateurs and 'trained economists' on an unsuspecting nation!
