> Grateful to the King
Monarchy brings stability. HRH the King’s announcement that there was no need for a state of emergency and His Majesty’s advice for political stability for an economic recovery is most lauded. Daulat Tuanku. – PJ Gomes
The Rakyat is grateful for the wisdom and foresight displayed by our Royalty at a critical juncture when our nation was tottering on the edge of a state of emergency of uncertain magnitude and duration. In declining to assent to proroguing Parliament, our Rulers have brought home some hard truths for our politicians to digest and reflect upon. Daulat Tuanku. – Beatle No.5
> One heart and purpose
Political parties aspiring to lead the country will have ample opportunities to do so if they don’t spoil them now by not listening to the King to unite with one heart and one purpose to fight Covid-19 and put right our down-sloping economy. If politicians have what it takes to run the country well, they will, as history has proven many a time, eventually do so. – William Ong
> Follow the advice
Temples allow devotees in KL for Navarathri – OMG! Approval given by Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa. How can it be approved?! Malaysian Hindu Sangam has been advised, all temples in Selangor and KL not to allow devotees, due to continued high Covid cases, and to follow MKN’s earlier SOP. Please strictly adhere to the advice. Appreciate. – Gs
> Making Malaysia proud
Motor racing driver Lewis Hamilton has made Malaysia proud by using our own petrol Petronas to win races. He has made the world happy, especially Malaysians. Our petrol Petronas is so fast! Keep it up, Petronas, keep our Malaysian flag flying high. – Puteri Ayu, Kajang
> Serving the people
Rakyat voters are the kingpin paymasters. Without voters, there are no politicians. Politicians are, by right, servants of the rakyat, not the other way around. – LeeHuiSeng
The government must enact a law to prevent frogging. If any member wants to do a frog, he must first resign from his party because he was elected under the party and not his personal self.
> Tinted helmets
Why do the authorities still allow tinted full-faced helmets? A woman had to lose her necklace but failed to recognise the culprits because they were wearing these helmets. This was reported in The Star, Oct 27.
