> Legal irony
Isn’t it ironic that a shoplifter can face up to 10 years’ jail while a babysitter who caused the death of an innocent child is sentenced to just 18 months in jail?
> Wrong SOP
Why did the divers rope their waists together during the search? This SOP should not be applicable in turbulent waters which would drag them down together if they were to encounter any difficulties.
It is sad to hear of the deaths of six young firefighters in the Puchong tragedy. What additional measures of safety will the authorities take? Is there any benefit to having these mining pools? Something needs to be done to prevent further loss of life. - V. Gunaseelan
> No lengthy names
I understand that the National Registration Department has already set a limit for the number of words parents can use in their children’s names.
> Tamil radio
When can we have local Tamil stations in Sabah? There are a sizeable number of Indians here who will agree with me. – DR
> Damaging roads
We agree with the letter “Bring to book those who spill concrete”. These cement trucks are ruining our roads. – RW
> Better term
Please stop using the term “firemen”. It sounds sexist. Use “firefighters” instead. – Nasir
> Lifestyle change
Many people don’t realise cancer is a lifestyle disease, hence a relapse will occur if people do not change their lifestyle. – Esther
> No communication
Phone lines in certain areas in Taman Ehsan, Kepong, are down again. Please do something.
> Unfair policy
It is not fair that law-abiding ratepayers are given a lower discount for settling their parking compounds while those who pay much later during city council campaigns are only fined RM10. – NK
> Keep it up, Siti
I refer to Siti Kassim’s “What to do with religious education” (Sunday Star, Sept 30). Siti, you are brave to say what our politicians dare not and do not want to say for political expediency. Keep speaking up, Siti. I believe you have the support of those who really love and understand the religion. – Janq
> Swarmed by flies
If you stop at the Sungai Bakap rest area going north, you will see the table tops there covered with flies. The food operators say it’s because of a chicken farm in the area. The toilets maintained by PLUS are okay. – A. M. Noran
