MCA EGM: Ong made a big mistake

-
MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat had made a very big mistake.

After being successfully elected as party president, Ong began demonstrating his iron fist and powerful personality by engineering the sacking and later suspension of party deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

Yes indeed, Ong had committed a big mistake which finally lead to his downfall at yesterday's party EGM when the central delegates posted their no-confidence vote against him.

Instead of focusing on strengthening the party and concentrating resolving the much debated PKFZ issue, Ong had moved his entire engergy to get rid of his deputy president by initiating a disciplinary action against him based on an outdated sex video scam and a withdrawn complaint.

If Ong is smart enough, he should have be patient and wait for the next party general assembly to topple his deputy via party election instead moving against him via disciplinary action. Anyway, Dr Chua was also elected by the delegates to be the party deputy president during the last party election where Ong was also elected party president.

Since Ong is faced with the vote of no-confidence from the delegates, will he step down from both his party presidency and ministerial position as promised? Let us observe his next move.

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 ...
