Umno racism continues to haunt Gerakan

-
Umno flexes its muscle on its fellow BN component party, Gerakan again to show that who is in charge in the disoriented coalition.

Penang Gerakan legal and human rights bureau chairman Baljit Singh has drawn flak for calling on Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and his Cabinet to take individual religious vows to prove that they are of impeccable moral standing.

Rubbishing the call, Umno supreme council member Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz said, "tell this Punjabi boy, where is he coming from? Is he from BN or is he from the opposition?" Umno is making yet another racist remark on Gerakan, one of the member party of the BN coalition.

Nazri had ultimately directed the racist remark by calling Gerakan's Baljit a "Punjabi boy" because he called on Najib and his ministers to take up their religious vows on their moral standing.

So Baljit, what are you going to say about this? We are certain that your Gerakan president Dr Koh Tsu Koon would not be able to defend you because he likes his senator and ministerial positions and he would like to maintain them. Besides, Dr Koh is also busying himself in Sarawak doing his running dog work for Umno and PBB in the current state elections.

Even your Penang Gerakan chairman Dr Teng Hock Nan seems to be too timid and dare not voice out to defend you for fear of angering the state Umno leaders.

Baljit needs to rethink about his future in Gerakan, since his top leaders are not defending him at all. You should maintain your principle on what is right and what is wrong. If Gerakan cannot champion what you believe in, what is the point of staying in that party?

We have been hearing Gerakan's Bangsa Malaysia and Anak Malaysia program all these years but what can they do? Umno is still in charge of the BN coalition and it dictates its policies onto our people. So, what are the rest of the BN component parties (MCA, MIC, PPP, SUPP, PRS, SPDP, PBB, LDP, PBS, PBRS, Upko and Kimma) doing?

Well, the rest of the BN component parties and their leaders are only busying themselves with either the factional fighting or mass wealth accumulation everyday.

What is the use of voting for these BN component parties? They would not be able to fight for whatever we want or look forward to, as long as Umno is still around and clearly dominates all policymaking efforts. With Nazri slamming Gerakan, it shows that BN component parties has no right to voice their dissent nor making any constructive criticisms.

So Baljit, either Gerakan leaves BN or you leave Gerakan. That's it! The choice is yours.

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...
