Likely Unlikely!
I feel sad that an organisation as old as MCA (perhaps at last count, they celebrated their 60th anniversary) is now being saddled with its own internal problems that could perhaps, have been avoidable, had the President been not so adamant on having it his way.

One of the 3 stooges …
Eventhough I read Malaysiakini a lot, and even put them up on the sidebar of this website as part of the blogroll, but I think these bunch of “cartoons” are pure unfiltered supporters of the Opposition (namely Pakatan Rakyat). Read their coverage of the massive crackdown on 1 August 2009 [...]
