Stop referring Lim Kit Siang as Opposition Leader!
2008-03-19 14:00:00 Now that all three of our political opposition parties have agreed to recognize Datin Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as Opposition Leader, it is only right for mainstream media and fellow bloggers to stop referring Mr. Lim Kit Siang as Opposition Leader.It is interesting to take note here that Datin Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s new recognition is just temporary since PAS, PKR and DAP seems to have made a pact to let Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim lead the Opposition after he had won a seat in Parliament.Courtesy of tvPAS Dot ComBy the way, I never did like the sound of Mr. Lim Kit Siang as Opposition Leader in the past. Events that had transpired recently had proven that Mr. Lim Kit Siang can never be a true leader for all Malaysians regardless of religion, race and color. It would be more appropriate if Mr. Lim Kit Siang is known and hailed as the ‘Voice of Malaysian Chinese & Indian communities’.Sorry Lim Kit Siang, you have lost my respect and also my trust indefinitely.

Arrest of Opposition Leaders
2007-09-26 05:53:00 Pakistan on Tuesday rejected an unusually harsh rebuke by the United States for arresting dozens of activists who oppose the re-election of President Pervez Musharraf.

Was there any report of existing members of ruling parties having a deal with PML(N) or other opposition parties. If it is so then that is not a new thing as su...
