BY BOB TEOH, MYSINCHEW On the tragic night of May 13, thirty nine years ago, scores of us lost a bit of our blood but for a different reason. We are trying to fill up the fast depleting blood bank at the University Hospital in Petaling Jaya. In the ensuing confusion, it didn’t occur to us to enquire whether our blood would go to a Malay, or to an Indian, or to a Chinese. Neither did it bother us. So long as it would help save a life, it was worth the while to give our blood. Among us were also Ibans, Kenyahs, Dusuns “dan lain lain lagi” or others. The funny thing is that all our blood had the same colour. |

KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 - All the fuss about the Penang Second Bridge and talk of delays has caught the attention of the Chinese government. Officials from China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) have been asked to submit a report within the next 24 hours to the Ministry of Commerce, who are peeved that a project in which a Chinese company is involved in is mired in controversy. Beijing also wants to know if the US$800 million loan to Malaysia is viewed as helpful or an impediment by stakeholders and the public. |
