SUPP president blames BN's unjust policies for defeat

-
Recently defeated SUPP president Tan Sri Dr George Chan has deliberately blamed the state and federal government’s failure to listen to the people’s grouses as the reason for the party’s unprecedented loss in the Sarawak state election.

Dr Chan, who unexpectedly lost to DAP newcomer Ling Sie Kiong by 1,590 votes in Piasau constituency, said Barisan Nasional (BN) had also reacted “too little too late” to correct the “unjust and unfair policies”.

“I am very sad over what has happened. We acknowledge that some of the policies in place now are unfair. SUPP tried very hard to speak up against these injustices and correct them but apparently, it was too little too late."

Dr Chan spoke like what Gerakan president Dr Koh Tsu Koon and the then MCA presidents had said. Same old grandfather reasons of blaming their main BN coalition when their parties lost to the opposition.

Come on Dr Chan, if the state BN government and Putrajaya did not listen to you on some unjust policies, why still stay in the BN coalition? Why still act as running dogs for Umno and PBB until the very day of the state election where you have been defeated? Same goes to Gerakan and MCA too!

Because you want to hold on to your ministerial posts? That means you are not being sincere in speaking up for your people. If you are a leader with strong principles, you should have left the BN coalition long time ago, like what Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and its president Yong Teck Lee did.

Yong brought his SAPP out from the BN coalition after the Sabah state government failed to address the continuous influx of illegal immigrants and many problems faced by the various communities in that state. Yong withdrew SAPP from BN and as the result of his action, he lost all his government positions in the state.

You see, Yong and SAPP do have their principles to adhere to and if the BN fail to address issues and concerns highlighted, there's no point for SAPP to remain in the BN fold anymore, thus by leaving the coalition is the best choice. At least the people knew that they had sacrificed for them.

So, what you say Dr Chan? Stop blaming others because of your own BN's unjust policies. You were part of the state government and if there are issues and concerns that you and SUPP had addressed and not being taken care of, you should leave the BN coalition immediately, but you did not do so out of your love and concern for your own position in the state government as deputy chief minister and state minister. You position is more important.

Therefore, stop playing the blame game and quickly announce your resignation as party president. You have been defeated. Don't talk anymore. By the way, interested on the senator's position in Dewan Negara?

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.

Singapore Malay daily teaches Mahathir about hardwork

The former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's assumption that Malays in Singapore had failed and their neighbouring Malays should take lesson from their plight has not impressed a Singaporean daily. The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
