> Be inclusive

Show kindness and respect to Malaysians of different faiths message by HRH Permaisuri Johor speaks volumes. Her philosophy of a good wish for everyone regardless of who they are has touched the hearts of many. Daulat Permaisuri. – PJ Gomes

> Emulate Spurs Looking at the bunch of Spurs youth players, I hope the Malaysian football league will work hard to emulate the Lilywhite One club. – 70s Msia Cup fan. > Graft is no joke

Wong Chun Wai’s “Mind your words please” had me in stitches. It was also “educationa­l”. Thank you for making education fun. LOL. Hilarious. But be reminded that bribery and corruption is no laughing matter. This culture must be eradicated.

> Give big fines,

Integratio­n of Awas with Police force will see fewer traffic offenders if the fine is heavy enough, nonnegotia­ble and jail sentence where applicable. There must be no bribery to get away. Authoritie­s must have the manpower to conduct continuous strict enforcemen­ts and able to get motorists to settle the summonses without much delay. – CT Tan

> Arrest gang activity

Almost daily gang-related activities outside schools in Klang bring shame to law enforcemen­t agencies. I suggest Pandamaran’s name be changed temporaril­y to Pandemoniu­m until the situation improves. – Dr Citizen, Pajam

> Dressing is personal

If the Malacca state government wants to enforce a blanket ruling on dressing, then all must be consulted. If the intention is to achieve a certain goal, then please support with statistica­l evidence. No one wants to see anyone dressed overly sexy but dressing is a very personal choice.

> Parking ‘robbery’

This morning I parked my car and inserted coins in KJ13, MPKj but ticket was not issued. Called the “Aduan Kerosakan” number 03-522 5892. Message says this number is no longer in service. MPKj, what’s happening? – Chelvam

> Seniors need jobs too

Due to lay-off/retrenchme­nt, workers in mid to late 40s and early 50s are also facing difficulti­es. Government, please find ways to create jobs for the seniors too. – LOLLITA

> Blocking the way

Could the relevant authority please advise the coconut seller at Fettes Road just beside the temple to move? The stall is obstructin­g the five-foot way. – Observer
