Pakatan sportingly ceased its quest to regain Perak state government seat

-

The Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has finally agreed to sportingly ceased its fight to remove rebel Umno mentri besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir and his rebel state government or call for snap polls after the Federal Court ruling showed the futility of their struggle.

Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin said last night the PR leadership had decided it was time to move on and work towards becoming a strong opposition in the state government.

We welcome the sporting show extended by the state PR led by Datuk Seri Nizar today to move forward in order to achieve its long term objectives to expand and strengthen the people's support for the opposition coalition.

Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) has not being sporting at all during the last general elections on March 2008 where they had continuously refused to accept their defeat and vowed to avenge against the then Pakatan-led state government. A year later, the BN led by Umno launched a coup d'etat with the help from the security forces to toppled the state government and installed its rebel state government to retake the state.

Datuk Seri Nizar also said that the PR would give its full cooperation if the Umno rebel state government agreed to four conditions — to allow PR parties to use public premises for the purpose of hosting functions, give memberships to PR assemblymen in special committees, provide all PR assemblymen with allocations to the tune of RM150,000 or RM200,000 and for the Umno rebel state government to base its administration on the principles of honesty, integrity, transparency, justice and welfare.

Datuk Seri Nizar also refused to agree that the PR had exited this fight with their tails between their legs and insisted that the surprising decision did not mean they were conceding defeat.

As far as we are concerned, they (Umno) are still an illegal rebel state government. PR and the Perakians still humbly request for Zambry to return the people’s rights. He will be more respected if he goes and seeks for a dissolution.

Well, we could still see Zambry is really afraid of the people and he would not dare to dissolve the state legislative assembly and return to face the people. He is still afraid.

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.

No action against YBs without speaker's consent

-
Penang assembly Speaker Law Choo Kiang said the police and attorney-general (AG) cannot prosecute any elected representatives for any wrongdoings committed in the House. Law said the authorities cannot act on the assemblypersons without the agreement of the speaker. "So this clearly cancels the (planned) charge against Seri Delima assemblyperson RSN Rayer for sedition under the 1948 Sedition Act," the PKR Bukit Tambun assemblyperson said in a statement yesterday. Law said a warning based on the assembly's standing orders has been issued to Rayer not to repeat the remark "Umno celaka" (damned Umno), which the latter allegedly uttered in the House on May 20. Based on the standing orders, the 10 disgruntled Umno assemblypersons were also told to table an emergency motion to the Penang special assembly committee to deal with their indignation over Rayer's remark, Law added. "But Umno failed to obtain enough quorum or votes for the motion, so they couldn...
