U-Turns Left Right and Centre!

Maybe we should rename our "Malaysia - Truly Asia" slogan to Malaysia - "Land of Perpetual U-Turns"!

Check this out:

Feb 26: Government gazettes a ruling that prohibits Christian publications from using the word
"Allah", unless they carry the disclaimer "For Christianity" on their front covers.
Feb 26: Government announces toll hike up to 33% for 5 major in Klang Valley.
Feb 27: Government reverses above toll hike and postpones it to Dec 31st.
Feb 28: Government rescinds above government gazette on conditional use of the word "Allah"
in Christian publications with immediate effect.

Read Malaysia Insider's report here. (And read the comments there).
Read also this very interesting post by RPK on the issue here. (The title could be better though)

Quo vadis, Malaysia?
