Keng Yaik resigns as Gerakan advisor

-
Former Gerakan president Tun Dr Lim Keng Yaik today announced his resignation as the party advisor and immediately attacked his successor party president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon for his weak leadership as well as his failure to resolve the leadership crisis in the Penang Gerakan.

Besides, Dr Lim also said that Dr Koh as Gerakan president had always avoid conflict resolution and instead choose to be a good man for all sides, therefore failed to tackle the conflicts arise which had by now being transpired into an open revolt.

We wish to informed Dr Lim that Dr Koh is his chosen successor and should take the partial blame for the failure of the present Gerakan leadership and the party's dismayed performance in the last general election which also saw the party losing its power base to the Pakatan Rakyat.

During the intense factional rivalry in Penang Gerakan few years ago, Dr Lim as the then party president had choose to side Dr Koh for the state chairmanship instead of the much stronger and tougher Datuk Seri Dr Goh Cheng Teik who was then party vice-president. Out of frustration, Dr Goh then left Gerakan and had since never join any political party.

In Dr Koh's reign in Gerakan, we also saw many prominent party leaders leaving the party one by one. This signifies his weak and ineffective leadership as well as his inability to rebuild the party into what it was before.

This had resulted to growing frustrations within its rank especially in Penang Gerakan where its members had by now held an open revolt against its state party chairman Dr Teng Hock Nan, a Dr Koh's loyalist. Besides, it was also reported that many party members nationwide had also voice their frustration on Dr Koh over his weak leadership and indecisiveness in the party.

The extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of Penang Gerakan on the coming 10 October is expected to serve as the foundation for more revolt in the rest of the state Gerakan leaderships. Members are also expected to make their revolt known once the outcome in Penang is confirmed.

Source from within Gerakan had also mentioned that the Selangor party leadership is also expected to face the revolt, which is to be followed by Perak and Johor, depending on the results in the coming Penang Gerakan EGM.

Well, these are all Dr Lim Keng Yaik's own doing. You had made and created these leaders to sit on all these positions, and now you are complaining so much. You should realize that you had made wrong decisions earlier in picking all these ineffective leaders and conservative leaders.

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 ...
