SJKT St Joseph to go online for new school campaign

poobalan — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:11:17 +0000

Looks like the school board has decided not to waste time waiting. As for me, I had informed Deputy Minister P Kamalanathan, and according to him “Have been informed sir @mpoobalan am waiting for more details and will seek clarification as well.” (ref here). Hopefully the school’s predicament does not become another disaster for MOE [...]

2013 13th General Elections a heartbreaker

poobalan — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:50:59 +0000

This being just after one month of our 13th General Elections (feels like ages right?), this is my thoughts and opinion on 13th General Elections. Expectations BN: expectation was cautiously high that BN can get back 2/3 majority. PM Najib was personally involved in leading the charge to recover Selangor. Massive funds were spent in [...]

SJKT St Joseph still standing on stilts built in 1924!

poobalan — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:11:28 +0000

This is the SECOND time this school’s misery is published in newspaper. Already once in January, and before that in 2011. So that’s 2.5 years. Already. Nothing to be surprised as the school remains the same as in 1970s, and standing on the same stilts built in 1924. Another 11 years it will centenary celebration [...]

Girl proves Malaysian citizenship claim via DNA test

This is interesting. The judge asked the parties involved to settle the claim. The girl underwent DNA test and its proven she’s biological daughter of a Malaysian man. Remember, the NRD can reject claim for citizenship without need to give any reasons, so how are they going to handle this? I suppose she’s not terrorist/communist/committed [...]

Kasthuri Patto the new MP for Batu Kawan

poobalan — Mon, 13 May 2013 10:27:19 +0000

We seldom see Indian women leaders or politicians. MIC’s women leaders seemed to be missing on national media. Can’t see any news about them. Even the young MP below, Kasthuri Patto is featured after winning the Batu Kawan seat. Hopefully she will be more prominent and be a good role model for future Indian women [...]

Aid for schools in Puchong

poobalan — Mon, 13 May 2013 09:40:31 +0000

Hmm…no wonder didn’t win GE13, just give RM5,000 to school. Give lah RM50,000 ke… RM14,000 water filter was last year…so this expectation surely higher! I’m sure this is not vote buying. Its just a coincidence that the candidate for GE13 was available to pass the aid. Timely assistance: Kohilan celebrating with SJK (T) Castlefield [...]

Some of my election result prediction (expectation?)

poobalan — Sat, 04 May 2013 19:22:05 +0000

Not based on any scientific method. Just based on hearsay, some residents’ comments and gut feeling Selangor Kota Raja will see Uthayakumar against Murugesan of MIC. Expecting Murugesan to win, or the PAS candidate to win. My bet is Murugesan by slim margin. Kapar will see two newcomers from PKR and MIC. Expect PKR to [...]

Five election candidates has been accused (by the opposing side, of course) of holding academic qualifications from dubious universities. They are: 1. Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Kohilan Pillay (candidate for Puchong) – Masters in Commercial and Industrial Economy from the Western Pacific University, US.
