Vet your candidates properly, PKR told

-
With strings of resignations of its elected representatives with the recent one from Bakar Arang, Kedah today, the top leadership of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) must seriously think of a right mechanism in vetting its candidates before putting them to contest in the next general election.

These opportunist who were elected as state assemblymen or members of parliament via PKR ticket in the last general election had left the party because they were dissatisfied with the leadership for not awarding them with various governmental or state GLC positions and also because they were being dropped from their governmental positions.

As such, the PKR leaders must start doing their homework now, learn from your mistakes, gather the information and intelligence all you can from your grassroots level, start identifying potential candidates and groom them up now, vet and appraise them regularly so that you can identify the best ones for the next general election.

At this time, if you face more resignations of your elected representatives from the party, the better it is as you know all those sores right now rather than you put them up to contest in the future and they ended up cheating you there and then.

Get rid of all those opportunist in your party, start grooming the youngsters in the party now. If you end up like that again in the 13th general election, we believe the people will shift their votes away from PKR and vote someone else.

Start your thinking and do your homework right now!

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...
