Dear Charles
Congratulations on being elected as Klang MP! The people have spoken and acted as befitted. Let not the new ruling parties forget that the overwhelming turnaround is the effect of people’s support, faith and trust in them but most importantly THE UNITY OF ALL THE THREE PARTIES that made it possible.
The test starts NOW! The people will be on constant lookout and would have higher expectation to see the manifestos carried-out. This can only happen if ALL THREE PARTIES CONTINUE TO BE UNITED and put internal difference aside.
I see a good man in you and only have people’s interest at heart. I, for one, have full confidence in you and that the people have made the right choice. It will be an uphill battle but what else is impossible after the results of this election. God works in a mysterious way, believe the POWER in YOURSELF and THE PEOPLE. Juat walk the talk!
Knowing that you will be under tremendous pressure from the commitment to serve the people and the country, however, please do keep in mind that YOU & FAMILY are also part of the people and quality time with your family should also be given priority.
Having seen the endless and tireless effort the people put in at your Operation Centre, Ceramahs and Polling Station, I can’t help but feel proud that Malaysians have finally matured and are helping themselves.
With the big responsibility on your shoulders, the people are with you and I believe you would need further support and assistance. I will have more time in my hand soon and would like to offer my assistance should you need them.
GOD BLESS YOU & FAMILY!

Dear YB(Yang Bagus) Charles:
I would like to seek your advice what should we expect since BN-administered Federal government may ‘punish’ us. It is said that opposition constituency may be developed last or not developed @ all but BN ones got development. Pls tell us soon in order to explain to our family and friends.

Dear Mr. Charles,
I’m thrilled by the sudden turnings of the election. It shows that we Malaysians are changing and are able to caste our votes without allowing the racial background to be the primary reason for our decision.
I wish you best of luck for your journey as the MP of Klang.
Best Regards..

what the hell is this
If we do a demonstration, we are called PENYANGAK, ANJING and BERUK by all the people from Barisan Nasional and UMNO
Today at 2pm, UMNO did a demonstration in front of KOMTAR to against the abolishment of NEP(Dasar Ekonomi Baru) with the protection by the police
No FRU, no comment by the stupid minister, and No ISA
I guess as usual our beloved Pak Lah is as usual sleeping at his office
If HINDRAF did a rally on the 25th November 2007, Hindraf 5 are linked d to terrorism and are put to ISA without trial
When UMNO does it, there is not even a arrest by the police
What the hell is this guy
I cant take it
When we demonstrate, we are called beruk by the ? Nazri and ? Khairy.
Khairy told that he can jzt get rid of us by jzt snapping his finger to Pemuda UMNO
This incident have show how government are treating us
Dear Makkal Sakthi, u guys have made the right choice by supporting the opposition party
They will help us
Don’t play with People’s Power

To, YB Charles Santiago,
Why PKR,DAP,PAS & West Malaysians are still dreaming ? ….Lost focus ?
Why MCA, Gerakan, MIC, PPP, PBB,PRS still hiding the ‘Truth’ ?
Look like Sabahans know what is the ” Truth”.
> Someone from Sabah talk sense….. Repeat for reference only.
1)…Sabah Progressive Party president Datuk Yong Teck Lee said he was puzzled why the NEP was still an issue when it had been replaced by the
>’National Development Policy’(NDP)…
> TUN DR M launched the “NDP” which year ? I forgot the year ,do you remember ?
2)…“so called cancellation of the NEP” was completely redundant because it no longer existed and it was equally disappointing that Penang Umno was still harping on a non-existent policy.
3)…no wonder that some politicians both from ruling and opposition have lost focus on which policy to talk about,”
Bravo, Sabahans dare to speak out.
Syabas. Barisan Rakyat.

Dear YB,
A hearty congratulations on being appointed the MP of Klang. I was born and brought up in Klang and it is still home for me even though I no longer live there permanantly. However, there are 2 issues that truly bother me about how it has turned out to be.
1. The crime rate: Everytime I go home and visit my family I’m shocked at the horrific crime stories that I hear; and whats even worse is that these people have become brave enough and attack people in broad daylight. The people have just taken it in their stride and go along with life as if being robbed or attacked is a normal thing these days. I truly hope the new government appointed in S’ngor can MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
2. The cleanliness: Have the staff of MPK been given permanant anual leave? The garbage disposal system is terrible. Its a laughing joke that one can find the most rubbish piled up in front of the ‘denda’ sign. Most drains are clogged up with gunk from decades this is the main reason why floods are still taking place quite frequently. Bandar Bukit Tinggi is a new township and within 2 years you can see how dirty it has become…why??
I truly hope that these two issues are addressed in the near future. I wish you all the luck as being Klang’s MP.
God Bless
Kind regards,
Shalini
