I am delighted that Siti Kassim has joined the PBM political party. She is a tenacious fighter for human rights, particularly for her vocal advocacy for the rights of Orang Asli We need more lawyers willing to get their hands dirty and walk the streets. It’s not enough to pontificate about the ills of society in the comfort of their chambers. Remember what Hannah Arendt said in The Human Condition: every small cause or action sets up a chain reaction. Resulting in larger causes

The PM asks” What does the country want?” He was exasperated that reporters kept asking him about Loke's on-and-off resignation. It’s a strange response because all reporters wanted to know why Loke's drama on resignation is never-ending Well, Sir, the country wants DAP to respect the King's decision. Is that too much to ask? You should rein in DAPs conduct on this issue of the pardon. It’s gone too long and far DAP wanted to show the country that it’s against the pardon, and I am sure the message is already clear to everyone. So you should tell DAP to move on Now DAP want the minutes of the Pardons Board meeting to be declassified Soon, they will want the Cabinet minutes declassified too What about your own pardon? Will DAP want the minutes as well? Why is DAP not willing to let the pardon issue rest? Because they see you as their protector. They can ask for anything now Tell DAP the royal pardon can be useful to DAP leaders one day. In fact, it can be useful to PH leaders too. You never know; it might come in handy

Dato Salleh Keruak has long campaigned for Sabah and Sarawak to have 1/3 of the seats in our Parliament. He says it’s not enough for Borneo to get an increase if Peninsular also gets more seats. To him, the principal demand is that there must be the one-third rule This demand has no basis, and it’s unfair. It should not persuade the Election Commission members. They have no legal entitlement to the one-third principle; it is not in MA63 or the IGC Report. Earlier leaders may have offered political assurances, but those must be disregarded. The Election Commission certainly will be guided by the usual principles in seat distribution, by population weightage and proportionality, etc But we must not ignore the overriding consideration: that Malaya is the bedrock of this country. The substratum of Malaya is the Malays, whether political, cultural, or economic. That’s the core principle the Commission has to take into account in the seat distribution We must not make the mistake of being overenthusiastic and generous to Borneo partners at the expense of the future. By doing so, the Malay substratum might not hold. Then the characteristics of the motherland will change That’s not acceptable

Someone wrote a lengthy plea to Tengku Mukhriz to step down. He says it's important for Mukhriz to be magnanimous. No, the Tengku must stay put. No Ruler, whether hereditary or elected, can be dismissed without cause. Just cause This is the right time to be steadfast in defending the state Constitution
