Our deepest condolences to the family members and fiancee of Teoh Beng Hock.
Ed had attended the memorial service at Nirvana Memorial Park.
Justice for Beng Hock has been set up if you'd like to read more updates.
It's mainly in Mandarin, so you may use the Google translate tool
if you are unable to read Mandarin.

I've also decided to incorporate Goh Keat Peng's article about Teoh's death
in our news section because it is time for us to act on what we preach.
James 2:14-17
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?
Can such faith save him?
15
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

It's a dark event for all of us at Bukit Gasing, with Teoh being a colleague of
Ed and Simon whom they had just talked with a few days before his demise.

Teoh's death has served as a reminder to us that no matter how tired,
disappointed and frustrated we are,
we must persevere on and work towards a better Malaysia.

Edward,

Blogs have been instrumental to spread the Opposition's message and agenda which have proven to effective by looking at the count of votes.

However, I feel that your statement below does your supporters injustice ....

"Hello readers, there won't be much updating on the blog as often as the past month.
Reason? I'm not sure what to put up!"

Therefore, I would suggest that you also use it to update (frequently) your supporters, the progress of changes that DAP is making in PJ and how the party is living out your manifesto.

Rocket booster.

Hello Fei Yau,

This is Charlotte and I update this blog.

As discussions are still going on, I'm not sure what I can or can't post up. I hardly see unc Ed these days too. Busy bee he is. Anyway, it's only been a week since polling day :)

Certainly will post up more stuff as things are finalised.

Thanks for dropping by!

close down all karaoke and places selling beer and liquor immediately.

top chinese executives from all companies under the pretext of entertaining customer after work
are wasting their time and increasing the companys expenses.

on top of this nonsense hanky panky
are aplenty.

the govt should ban all this nonsense immediately and urged all
executives and above to go back to their respective families after work.

i am chinese and i support PAS 100%
on banning of alcohol.

alcohol is nothing but trouble.

marriages are crumbling becoz of this nonsense

i am very sure all the chinese housewives and whatever will
support 100% PAS good intention.

DAP/PKR please think out of the box.

remember we voted for changes.

Drinking and gambling are not part of chinese culture.

Hi BCM,

I believe that adults should be able to guard themselves and not leave it up to politicians to do so.
