50 years

We should remember that 50 years ago the US invaded Vietnam devastating the country, Lao and Cambodia. Who can ever forget that photo of the little girl running down the road, burning with napalm? Jimmy Carter put it cynically when he said "We owe Vietnam no debt because the destruction was mutual."

Is UMNO becoming fascist? It seems to be the trend judging from the growing attacks by ruffians on meetings that UMNO does not like.

Proton has done well. When we read statements like that we cannot help thinking how many more hospitals could have been built with that subsidy of 60 millions per annum that that expensive 81,000 cars a year toy cost. Dr M is no longer PM yet this face saving wasteful farce goes on.

Shame

The government should be ashamed. There is no extradition treaty between our two countries yet Kasgari was deported. The government pretends it does not guess that Kashgari might be put to death. It should resign its membership of the Human Rights Council.

When a former chief justice referred to the amendment to Article 121 of the COnstitution which removed judicial power from the judges Dr Mahathir was once again heard in denial.That man again! When will he ever shut up!!

Dr Toh Chin Chye

Dr Toh Chin Chye who died recently was a very timid man. When Lim Tay Boh (later a professor at the university) asked him to join the Malayan Democratic Union and had assured him that he would be in the secret list known only to me he refused (scared that he might be betrayed?) With Harry Lee he felt safe.
