> True Malaysian
Kudos to Anas Zubedy. We need more people like him who have the heart and conscience to preserve peace and harmony as well as to live and let live in this beautiful multi-religious country. – Renee Saudara Anas Zubedy, you are great – a true Malaysian. God Bless. – Nathan
> Premiums calculation
I totally agree with Thomas Foo’s opinion on insurance premiums for vehicles. Insurance companies should get the car owner’s records from JPJ or the police and determine the premium fees from there. – Dave Gan
> Total enforcement
Poor parking culture needs to stop. DBKL should target Bangsar, Permaisuri, Solaris and etc. every day. When the chances of being caught are high, people will change their uncouth and uncivilised behaviour.
> Simply unbelievable
Can you believe it? We were queueing up before the post office opened and were fifth in line. When our turn came, we were told the King’s installation stamps were out of stock! This was in Taman Tun Dr Ismail.
> Equally responsible
The brutal behaviour of the assistant warden at the religious school is unforgivable and he should be imprisoned for life. The school is also complicit. – Prof (B)
> Building character
Teach the young to take pride in a job well done no matter how inconsequential that job may be.
> Greed is the word
Those victims of collapsed getrich-quick schemes have no one but themselves to blame. GREED is the word. – AK
> Permit to return
Why allow terrorists to return to Malaysia when they are not allowing the ashes of a dead man (Chin Peng) in?
> Missing the “L”
Nowadays, we don’t see “L” plates displayed on the motorbikes of learner riders. Even foreigners are using secondhand bikes without a valid licence. Could the police put a stop to this, please? – Sheikh
> Quote, misquote
Considering his profession, it is not surprising when a politician says he has been misquoted. But when a religious person does the same, I wonder if he is a politician in religious clothing.
> Close them down
Why are the enforcement authorities not taking action on the mini-casinos that are mushrooming all over Kajang? To make things worse, Ah Longs are lending money to the gamblers. – Putri Liza, Kajang
