Congrats

I'm sure ramai rakyat Malaysia yang excited today. Waiting for the moment when DS Najib will be sworn in as Malaysia's 6th. Prime Minister. Despite the huhus and gagas, atas kehendak dan takdir Allah swt, DS Najib will be there at the helm to lead us during this trying time - economic turmoil, retrenchment, bla bla... Anyway, congrats to him but I'm not that overly excited as compared to waiting on the outcome of tomorrow's Premier League results, or Once In A Million elimination tonite, or the Akademi Fantasia's results, or even the 2 Bukits and one Batang bye-elections outcome. A few of my colleague will be going there to witnessed the ceremony. I've got to clear my desk and I've a Policy Paper to prepare for Tuesday's meeting. Anyway, all the best DS and may Allah bless Malaysia.

Govt credibility affected by ISA abuse

"This flip-flopping doesn't inspire confidence," former MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek

..."There should be a full public inquiry as to how the ISA was invoked and disciplinary action, including sacking of officers should be done if they are found to have been irresponsible. You don't use the ISA to go on a fishing expedition, just as you don't use it to provide police protection," said Lim Kit Siang .. More
