Medics issue spotlight

And the issue continues..

Is this what we call political compromise ? Pakatan murni ? The MIC fellas ( Samy Vellu and Soothinathan himself ) certainly looked dissatisfied on tv3 interview tonite when asked about the issue. What they uttered certainly contradicted their gesture and body language.

Very dodgy when one plays with fire..hope that this issue will not spark anything racial and 69 memories triggered....

Sothinathan suspended, says PM
The only official designations left for S. Sothinathan now are that of MIC Sec-Gen and the MP for Telok Kemang.
His government post as the Natural Resources and Environment Deputy Minister has been suspended by the PM with immediate effect.
The PM said Sothinathan was suspended for criticising the government during Tuesday's parliamentary debate on MMC's derecognition of medical programme offered by Crimea State Medical University (CSMU), Ukraine.
The PM said he had advised the Yang di-Pertuan Agong who had consented to Sothinathan's suspension.
Sothinathan will resume his post at the end of the three-month suspension.
