PPP with never ending troubles

-
The People's Progressive Party (PPP) doubt as the smallest party in the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition is now in trouble and facing a possibility of being de-registered by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) for not having its annual returns send up every year.

Apart from that, there is also a power struggle in PPP where its supreme council member T.Murugiah who is seen as a young rising star in the party has been purged and sacked from the party by its president M.Kayveas.

The reason for Murugiah's sacking were allegation of money politics and the possibility of Murugiah mounting a challenge against Kayveas in the June's party election. Apart from that Murugiah and his supporters are also accused of damaging the party's reputation by exposing its non-conformance in public.

But some source said the real reason for Murugiah's sacking was because he was too patriotic to PPP and he in fact wanted to save the party from being de-registered for not submitting their annual returns yearly to the ROS.

And if Murugiah really does that and successfully carried out his moves, Kayveas will be seen as a sore loser in the party. Where will Kayveas hide his face then. Therefore, in order to save his face and the rest of its conservative leaders in the party, Kayveas had no choice but to purge the young futuristic leader from PPP.

PPP which was formed by the Sennivasagam brothers had been in crisis non-stop ever since the founders' death. Leadership tussles, factional fightings, court battles and now again leadership and factional tussles happens again.

Looks like the PPP conservative leaders are not willing to let go their powers in the party to let the younger reformers take charge. They wanted to stay as long as they can in order to achieve their wealth and powers.

There it goes, Kayveas is driving PPP to brink of collapse in order to "hold on" to his party presidency.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
