I refer to the front-page story in the Borneo Post today regarding disputes arising from the Pan-Borneo Highway.

For the people of the Christian faith worldwide, Easter is the most significant celebration in the calendar, even more so than Christmas. In the Borneo Evangelical Church (BEM), Easter celebrations were traditionally held in one church in the Lawas district, and the Lun Bawangs would travel for days to attend the Irau Easter, which is celebrated over several days.

I refer to the comment by Sin Chew Daily that is reproduced in Free Malaysia Today as ‘Pivotal role for Sabah, Sarawak MPs over Hadi’s bill’.It has been suggested that the government’s version of Act 355 will only be applicable to Muslims in West Malaysia, in an effort to win over the MPs from Sabah and Sarawak, who had strongly objected to the bill.

Abdul Rahman Dahlan’s statement that the government will blacklist companies that sponsor the Bersih movement is uncalled for, immature and arrogant. It is tantamount to a political threat and blackmail, and exposes a dictatorial streak which seems to course through the veins of most Umno politicians.

On the change in education policy in Sarawak, at last there is someone from the BN who has the guts to say it as it is. Stupid. Everyone has known it for the longest time, and that is why we started asking a few years ago that the government take back autonomy over education.

ADUN SPEAKS | Nobody needs to be a genius to know that it is all for political expediency.

ADUN SPEAKS | We can never claim to be a developed nation, with schoolchildren studying and living in derelict buildings.
