SUPP leader blames BN for its defeat

-
The Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP) treasurer David Teng has blamed the policies and decisions of the Barisan Nasional (BN) for its dismal performances in the recently concluded state election.

In the recent state election, SUPP had contested 19 seats, but lost 13 of them, a number of which it had held for the past 41 years.

Teng, who lost his Repok seat which he won in 1983, said that the BN was the rootcause of the people’s dissatisfaction because of its many policies and decisions. “The BN has been in power for a long time and it is natural that a house becomes dusty after some non-cleaning period", according to Teng again.

Like its counterparts, MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP blaming Umno for their failure in the last general elections, SUPP is now blaming the BN, particularly the dominant state BN component party, Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu (PBB).

Since BN, PBB or Umno were the root cause of your defeat and you had known it earlier before the election, why didn't you all act on the situation by leaving the BN coalition immediately? Why did you all choose to stay within the BN coalition framework eventhough you had knew that something has been very wrong in it?

Same like MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP, all of these BN component parties knew all along that something has been very wrong in the BN and Umno with its growing racism, but they choose to stay with the coalition in hope that "everything would be fine" after the general elections.

In the end, MCA lost more than half of its seats contested, while Gerakan lost its stronghold in Penang, while MIC was reduced to pieces and PPP was completely wiped out. And in the Sarawak state election, it was SUPP's turn to suffer like its peninsular counterparts.

Knowing that something is very wrong in Umno, PBB and the entire BN coalition, all these component parties choose to stay with BN just because of one thing for sure. Position, power and wealth.

Then when they all lost in the two elections, they started to point their fingers at the dominant ones in the coalition hoping that the voters would forgive them and start to vote them again in the next general elections. Why should we vote for you again when you are still in the BN coalition and we knew very clear of your intention: position, power and wealth.

So, forgot about the blame game and finger pointing if you do not demonstrate your sincerity to the people and the voters.

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 ...
