It’s good to know that Federal Territories Minister Khalid Samad has come out to say that nobody in the Government has any plans to bar the image of the pig in public places during the upcoming Lunar New Year celebration – despite past controversies on the use of animals considered unclean by the Malay-Muslim community.
The Chinese zodiac assigns an animal to each year in a 12-year cycle. And this year, it is the turn of the pig. Oink, oink, oink!!!
British Prime Minister Theresa May (left) saw off a bid to evict her government from power by 325 to 306 votes – the day after her plan for leaving the EU was rejected.
MPs voted entirely along party lines, resulting in a majority of 19 in support of May's government.
Those who were against the no-confidence motion were the 314 Tory parliamentarians, 10 MPs from Democratic Unionist Party and one independent MP.
Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn who initiated it all had the backing of his Labour Party (251), Scottish National Party (35), Liberal Democrats (11), Plaid Cymru (4), Green Party (1) and four independent MPs.
Giving her reaction to the outcome, May told MPs she would "continue to work to deliver on the solemn promise to the people of this country to deliver on the result of the referendum and leave the European Union". She’s still one stubborn woman.
