…dear allan , it was not my intention to write in capitol letters …there was absolutely no malice or anger intended using such to write to our dear annil..it was just that i started it in capitol letters by accident and didnt want to rewrite again, because i was fighting for time to finish writing and go somewhere else….my dear allan, where in the books/papers/or journals that states that writing in block letters constitute rudeness….my apologies to annil if you feel offended by such…as for you my dear allan….please how old are you, that you can tell a senior citizen… Read more »
Dear vflai
I know you meant no malice with capital letters. Allan was just pointing out the widespread ‘netiquette’ under which some people think the use of capital letters amounts to ‘shouting’.
Yes, we should all focus on reforms and what all of us can to make the country a better place for all.
ANIL, CAN YOU GIVE ME REASON/S WHY MY 2 COMMENTS WERE NOT PRINTED…I STATED SO THAT MY COMMENTS WERE NOT RELWANT IN THIS CAPTION…BUT I HAD NO RECOURSE BUT TO SEEK AN AVENUE TO AIR MY VIEWS BUT I THOUGHT, WHETHER WE PUT FORTH OUR COMMENTS IN YOUR BLOG, IN MALAYSIA TODAY OR ELSEWHERE IN OTHER BLOGS, I THOUGHT WE SHARE A COMMON BOND, THAT IS TO TELL THE RAKYAT THE PEOPLE WHAT IS GOING ON/HOW WE THE PERSECUTED RAKYAT ,SO THAT EVENTUALLY WE WILL COME TOGETHER TO VOTE FOR CHANGE. IS THAT SO HARD A REQUEST TO ASK….I TOOK… Read more »
Sorry, vflai, the comments posted here should be relevant to the post, as indicated in the guidelines.
In any case, I think people here are familiar with the racial issues you have condemned, and the language was a bit overboard.
I hope it doesn’t discourage you from submitting more comments.
….MY COMMENTS …”ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE RACIAL ISSUES YOU HAVE CONDEMNED AND THE LANGUAGE WAS A BIT OVERBOARD”..????!!!! I WOULD SUGGEST , WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMMENTS SPEWED FORTH ON THE REBUKE OF MAHATHIR’S ATROCITY’ BLOGGING BY OUR BRAVE YOUNG LADY BLOGGER,……SOME OF THEM ARE EVEN MORE HARD HITTING/WELL -OVERBOARD. SIMPLE ‘WELL BEHAVED’ COMMENTS CAN BE LIKENED TO HITTING A SPOILT CHILD WITH LONG BEANS, INSTEAD OF USING AN APPROPRIATE THIN LONG CANE. IF NOT HARD-HITTING ENOUGH , COMMENTS WILL NOT DRIVE THE NAIL/THE POINT HOME(WHO WANTS TO READ ‘SOFT SPOKEN’ UNINSPIRED COMMENTS?)…..THAT WONT PUSH… Read more »
It is very rude to write in all capital letters.
Anil, There is an imposter! The othe SamG is not me. You know my e-mail ID.
(this is not mine)
What happened to the Gerakan offer to the Penang State Givt to bring in Foreign Investment?
Why should they even offer to assist?
Looks for publicity…?
Strange, email address used was the same. IP address almost the same as well.
Hey Eu Soon, Pearl & Tunglang, what happen. No sign or are you all secretly applying for the job. I will vote for the 3 of you you indicate you are interested. At least Gerakan K has said he was not interested.
I already make it clear. I am not interested in electoral politic. Stop being stupid! I reserve all the rights to voice out and stand out against any politician under the sun….
AlbertG, I will let you guess. Suspense is good for your intellect. Not knowing my intention is killing.
This is a scam by Lim Guan Eng !
He promised a local council election and delivered an “NGO” election.
What the…
At least there is an election. People like Ong, Pearl and you can go for it. But under Gerakan, no election and cannot even voice out and stand for it
What happened to the Gerakan offer to the Penang State Givt to bring in Foreign Investment?
Why should they even offer to assist?
Looks for publicity…?
On the Local Council polls – Ah Soon! This is one platform you can start with. See if you can convince the local councils and your fellow councillors if you have the “best” plans.
Take up the challenge if you want to put your money where your mouth is.
LOL
Nobody interested !!!
Please extend the application date until next term !!!
I doubt Gerakan will still exist after the ‘next term’.
Is there a role for Gerakan K, Eu Soon, Pearl, tunglang and Charlie Oscar to serve as a counsilor?
ANIL FYA – comment taken fm Malay Mail on Astro Row Escalates, this too matters ha ha ha The whole of Malaysia is talking about this case…. I hope the judge will do the right thing, even his home is effected during rain, like everyone else, he pays monthly, like everyone else – he gets frustrated, angry, disappointed watching LIVE programs or normal and suddenly signals cuts off. Besides, Ananda has the responsibility to own up and be a gentleman, he got a few years left, the fact is THE TRUTH must prevail la. AK be a gentle and dont… Read more »
