Zaid, what and where is your focus?

-
Ever since you had been expelled from Umno for your principled stand on certain issues, we all welcomed you with open arms into the Pakatan Rakyat fold via your entry into Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).

We knew that you are one of the architect behind the Pakatan Rakyat framework and its first ever convention being organized. We also knew that you are also one of the architect behind the much awaited initiatives to work towards getting Pakatan Rakyat to be registered as an official opposition coalition.

During your entry into PKR, you sang praises for the Pakatan Rakyat and its policies as well as their stand against injustice, their continuous and untiring efforts to ensure justice, democracy and equality would one day become a reality to our nation.

When you announced your intention to contest for the PKR deputy presidency, we welcomed your move as your democratic right to participate in the party elections. Besides, we also pray hard that you will gain some miracle in winning the post that you are contesting, but if otherwise, fight to the very end to justify your stand and make your voice be heard by all in the party.

Unfortunately, you withdrew from the party deputy presidency race in a sudden, which not only came as a grave surprise to us but also to all your supporters as well. you withdrew from the race all the sudden without any consultation with your circle of allies and friends.

A very disappointing you were. You just simply dumped them all with your reasons of this and that, which most of your supporters also found it hard to accept.

How could you abandoned the fight just like that? The race is only about 40 percent over and you had the other 60 percent to go for? Why did you gave up only after that 40 percent shown that you are way behind from the main contender Azmin Ali? Why are you giving up so easily?

We thought that you are a great man, a principle man, a staunch fighter for justice, equality and democracy. We thought that we the image that you had presented earlier, you would fight to the very end in the party deputy presidency race.

It is very unfortunate that you are not. You gave up too easy! You gave up just like that, reasoning that the party election is full of lies and cheats. Why give so much due concerns onto all these fuss? As long as you are a man of principle, then you are the principle man even if you did not make it in that particular race. Fight and lose as a principle man, then your supporters or even your contender will accord you with even more respect.

But after you gave up the half way fight, you lost almost all your PKR supporters now, they too are lost because your decision came as a surprise. And for those who are still supporting you, will also ditch you once you announce your plan to leave PKR. Any impact? We believed there would not be any impact at all.

You are lost, certainly lost. And you mentioned that you intend to resign from PKR and form a KeAdilan Baru to continue your quest that you hold and believe in. Come on, there are already too many political parties in our nation now. However, you suddenly cancelled your scheduled press conference tomorrow and you also have yet to submit your resignation letter. Again, you are lost and not focus.

A third force or third alternative for the people? Just look at the BN coalition, it is already overcrowded, look at the number of parties outside Pakatan Rakyat, there are just nonsense and too many of them. Some of them do not even have a clear and detail objectives to justify their existence.

Are you doing all these, in order to make the Pakatan Rakyat come knocking at your door, asking or pleading you to reconsider your actions? No, Anwar Ibrahim had just mentioned that you are free to go. DAP and PAS did not say even a word for you. Again you are lost. you will also eventually lose all your supporters and admirers from both inside and outside PKR.

We are not writing this to urge you to reconsider you plan to leave PKR. We are writing this to remind you that you are lost - your focus are lost. That is why you are now alone, just like when Umno once ditched you.

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 ...
