Revision of DAP

CJ's resignation
This is the first time that a Chief Justice has tendered his resignation. That we feel is the most honourable course for him to take since he was left with no other option. But the antecedents to his departure have indeed left a bad taste in the mouth.

Repatriation of Rohingyas
The communiqué issued by Aung San Suu Kyi in response to a UN Security Council statement is disappointing. It is yet another reminder that Myanmar's government is looking for excuses to delay the resolution of the crisis.

Upcoming mayoral elections
The upcoming mayoral polls in six important city corporations will be the first major test for the current Election Commission (EC).
