From Lim Kit Siang’s blog:
Sucks that our hard-earned tax money goes to helping this smug bastard pretend it’s his to dole out as he pleases.
I’m proud of all Sibu-ans for giving this idiot the middle finger. It’s your fucking job to fix floods, not use it as a bribe.

The Saturday of March 27th saw TEDxKL being held at the Petronas Twin Towers and inaugural PERKASA assembly held at PWTC.
Yoon Kit summed it up succintly:

It’s now exactly a year after the historic 12th General Elections.
While I may shake my head at some of the political antics that have gone on since then, things have unmistakably changed. The MSM is forced to report the opposition’s POVs. Political awareness has never been higher. Every decision the government makes is placed under [...]
So I’ve been refreshing Malaysiakini nearly non-stop, as you have probably been too. Thoughts on the Perak crisis:
