Friday, March 5, 2010
It looks as if the water shortages in Labuan, previously highlighted in this blog, have not yet been resolved, judging from this letter by an upset parent. Since July-August 2009, many letters have been written to everybody and anybody in authority to resolve the major water crisis that has hit the Universiti Malaysia Sabah-Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan.

Friday, March 5, 2010
An ntv7 poll over the news tonight asked viewers if they thought PKR’s performance in the next general election would be affected by the recent defections. The results were surprising: 60 per cent responded ‘No’, the party’s performance won’t be affected, with just 40 per cent saying ‘Yes’, it will be. All right, let’s do our own

Tuesday, October 27, 2009
For the coming financial year (2010), the Penang Municipal Council is projecting a budget deficit of RM40 million based on revenue collection of RM230 million, two thirds of which come from taxes.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009
It appears that the federal government is going ahead with a RM50 million plan to introduce water taxis and build more jetties in Penang and mainland. Now this is a good idea and I should be pleased. After all, Najib approved the conceptual plan in July, a month after this blog had suggested that the

The James Logan memorial was officially dedicated on 20 October 2009 in front of the High Court building in Penang. Photos by Anil and Logan family Some Penang residents might know James Logan as a colonial-era lawyer (who took up the cause of the underdog against officialdom) and newspaper proprietor.

The much criticised Penang Botanic Garden arches, one of which is tilting, are to come down, the Tourism Minister announced today. Apparently the decision was made after another survey in USM revealed that 71 per cent of 1,225 respondents surveyed at the Garden wanted the arches removed. I am told Ng Yen Yen also
