The BN component parties' fear

-

Recently, the Umno leaders led by its party president Najib Razak said they are ready for a possible snap general election and made many predictions on the upcoming polls which might take place anytime this year round.

However, the MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek yesterday said otherwise, confirming that his party, doubt to be the second largest in the BN coalition, is no really ready to face the electorate in the snap general election.

Is MIC really ready for the polls? The current BN Indian based political party is facing a leadership crisis, where its leaders and members are beginning to revolt against their dictatorial party leader for staying too long and damaging the party.

Where is Gerakan, left with only two parliamentary seats could hardly survive. Recently, a new group within the party had emerged calling for the party to look into its own organization and politics seriously, which includes reviewing the possibility of withdrawing fron the BN coalition.

PPP complete wiped out in the last general election, claimed to have recruited "more members" now and they are already prepared for the next general election. Besides, they are also claiming credit in their recently "expansion" into Sarawak, where they were treated as mere outsiders by their fellow BN coalition partners over there.

PBB, SPDP, SUPP, PRS of Sarawak are going to face the upcoming state elections. The victory by Pakatan in the Sibu parliamentary by-election shows that their decades of domination of the state would come to an end. Various threats and offer of bribes were given to local tribe leaders to ensure their continuous support in the coming state elections. Besides, the BN coalitions had also resorted to organizing political curfews in villages to ensure penetration by Pakatan would be impossible.

The BN in Sabah is facing yet another political scandal, where its Umno chief minister is facing a possible charge of illegal money laundering and gambling activities. The Hong Kong ICAC is wrapping up its investigation on the chief minister's men arrested in in Hong Kong and they are expected to request the authorities here to assist. Besides, reports of vast migration of illegal immigrants into the state had also lost control. Sabahans are getting fed up of their place being taken over by these illegal immigrants.

So, is the BN really ready for a snap polls as what they had claimed earlier?

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.

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 ...
