Plaintiff: Anwar Ibrahim
Filed by: Gobind Singh Deo & Co
I believe this is Khairy’s virgin lawsuit. And the shame of it all, is that it’s over the young man’s Jew-baiting remarks. From then on, it’ll be hard to live that down. Let’s not forget his allusion to the Chinese being the bogeman.
Tsk tsk.
Budget 2008 September 8, 2007
Posted by elizabethwong in Economy, Malaysia.3 comments
Budget Day is the most exciting and glamourous event in Parliament, powered by pure adrenaline. For once, every MP turns up and so do all the senior journalists, business writers, foreign correspondents, TV and radio stations.
… And the wifi conked out even before 4 pm, and only started to work midway during the Finance Minister’s speech. :O
If this election budget is anything to go by, there’s nothing to cheer about, save no hike in ’sin’ taxes! Sure there are some goodies here and there, but perhaps in an effort to please the corporate sector and everyone else, they’re spread too thinly to be substantive.
The Parliament staff muttered and grumbled over the sight of no-bonus, some of the journalists wondered why there were not goodies for SMEs, with one of my friends saying, “Two words - ‘We’re f*rked’.”
Oh, Finance Minister didn’t want to say anything after his presentation. Cabut with wifey, whom I almost bumped into when I dashed into the hall.
