On Wednesday night, there was a technical fault with the baggage sorting system at Changi's Terminal 2. It lasted for about 3 hours and resulted in "several hundred" bags not being loaded on to...

Pm me and I will give you my email address. That should be sufficient to get the Hindraf "intellectuals" to contact me, right?

And I am curious as to why you can't, or won't, answer my simple...

What a pity!

In any case, my location these days is Singapore/Malaysia. The US only for business trips.

Ok, back to this thread.

Question: why use the name "Hindraf" (Hindu Rights Action...

Hmm...I thot that this minister was a successful lawyer before being appointed as a minister? Or am I wrong?

They have also got Volvo V70s, at least one Volkswagen Touareg SUV and quite a few BMW 320s.....

Plus a predilection for wearing shades at all times, and looking mean and tough. And those are the...

Rather than debate u in this forum, and risk Mr Chang starting to reach for the keys to his plantation, I propose to take this further in the Arus Politik microforum.

Game?

After all the huffing and puffing, what precisely has Hindraf achieved?

In claiming to be a pressure group for Hindu Indians (as shown by it's name), has it ignored non-Hindu Malaysian Indians?

I hear you. The need for caution is appreciated. All I am saying is that the RM15.2 billion figure, estimated or otherwise, could not have been plucked out of thin air. Or could it have been...?

I see that AirAsia has confirmed an order for another 25 Airbus A320s, bringing their total confirmed order for A320s to 175 aircraft.

That's big bucks. When all the planes are delivered, it will...

Ahem...I believe that the police car in front of the PM's car was from the Security Branch of the Spore Police. They (Security Branch personnel) are tasked with providing security for the Spore PM,...

Hmm...what would happen, if, against all expectations, the ICJ verdict is favourable to Malaysia?

Would we then say that the "kampung" team beat the "urban city slickers"? Or attribute it to a...

Ok, then on what basis did Telekom come up with a project cost of RM15.2 billion? Why not RM10 billion? RM20 billion? How did they arrive at the RM15.2 billion figure? Did some equipment supplier or...

As a point of interest, St Hilda's Primary School is run by the Anglican Church in Singapore. It's a "mission school".

Check out the school website - http://www.sthildaspri.moe.edu.sg

Yup, she transferred from Gongshang Primary School in Tampines to St Hilda's Primary in Primary 4, when she got into the Gifted Education Programme.

Note: her father, Muhamad Nasir Atan, 47, is a...

So, the moment Firefly upgrades from turboprops to jets, it will be persona non grata at Subang?

Interesting, seeing as how Firefly is keen to operate the Subang-Changi route. Somehow, I don't...

Natasha Nabila Muhamad Nasir, a student at St Hilda's Primary School, scored 294 for this year's Spore PSLE exams, the highest score since 1993.

Front page news in the Spore Straits Times today,...

An open international tender will give an accurate picture of how much this project should cost.

We should be used to policy flip-flops from the govt by now! :rolleyes:

And in all fairness, it was the govt that allowed Firefly to operate flights from Subang in the first place.

No wonder...

Remember in Greek mythology, what happened to Icarus?

He flew too near the sun, the wax on his wings melted, and he fell into the Aegean Sea.

There are a lot of "Icaruses" in Msia these days!

I thot we have a "de facto" Law Minister who has been very verbal recently?

Why is he not part of the Msian team at the ICJ hearings?

At the risk of incurring Mr Chang's wrath, I would like to ask why the Msian govt is contributing RM4.8 billion (in public funds, presumably) into what is essentially a Telekom Msia initiative?
