Penang became the first state in Malaysia to pay its opposition leader an allowance. BN rules Malaysia for over the pass 51 years but never paying allowance to opposition leader. Now Pakatan Rakyat who rules Penang is paying allowance to the opposition leader and the opposition still criticised the state government was not sincere and even said the amount was too low.

I was so disappointed when I read the news. Why don’t BN paying opposition the allowance on those states that they won? Want more? Why don’t BN also paying to the opposition leaders too?

Several Barisan Nasional assemblymen later called for a higher allowance, saying that the RM1000 was insufficient.

Penang Chief Minister’s Lim Guan Eng said the state would consider the request if all BN states gave similar recognition to their Opposition leaders. Could they do it? For the pass 51 years and they never do it. Now people giving you, you should be feeling grateful and not criticises people that way.

Seputeh MP Teresa Kok was released from detention under the Internal Security Act at about 1pm, today.

“I am happy that I have been released and I’m okay,” she told reporters gathered outside Jalan Travers police station.

“I do not know why I was released today, just as I do not know why I was detained,” she added.

Until today, neither the police or the government explain the true reason behind the arrest of Teresa Kok.

I was so surprise again today when hearing on the news in NTV7.

Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail has refused to apologise over his alleged racist remark calling the Chinese community “immigrants who do not deserve equal rights”.

“Why should I apologise? I didn’t do anything wrong. Those who do wrong should apologise but I haven’t done anything,” Datuk Ahmad Ismail said.

He, however, refused to comment on whether the press misquoted him. He said a full statement on what transpired would be released after a Penang Umno Liaison meeting on Saturday. He added that he would not say much at present, but wanted to clear up the issue of reporting to the police. Police are currently investigating five reports lodged against Datuk Ahmad Ismail under the Sedition Act 1948 for allegedly uttering the seditious remarks at a speech on the eve of the Permatang Pauh by-election.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has since apologised on Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s behalf. If this is not the truth, our Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib would not be apologised on behalf of Datuk Ahmad Ismail.
