Delaying Pakatan's registration, is ROS taking side?

-
Well, we have heard and seen the commitment of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) which consist of PAS, DAP and PKR to come up with an official coalition to fight Barisan Nasional (BN) in the next general elections.

They had submitted their application to register the PR coalition to the Registrar of Societies (ROS) and followed through the numerous hassles and bureaucratic proceedings made out by the ROS officials, as a tactic to prevent PR from being registered to quickly.

Everything dam procedures has been followed, in accordance with the Societies Act and the submissions after submissions and follow-ups after follow-ups has been carried out by the PR national secretariat, but to-date, the ROS has yet to reply nor response to the application.

The worst thing was ROS director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Othman had deliberately mentioned that he has not receive any application from the PR secretariat to register the opposition coalition.

This means, Datuk Abdul Rahman doesn't even know what are his ROS officers doing on the ground. What else is Datuk Abdul Rahman doing, perhaps spending most of his time playing golf with his cronies, friends or business associates?

Or is it because the ROS director-general has received instructions from the Umno vice-president Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein, who is also the home affairs minister to discourage and to tactically delay the registration of the PR coalition until the next general elections is over?

Yes, there is a possibility that the ROS had received directives from the Umno minister to delay the approval for the registration of PR in order to buy more time in trying to disintegrate the currently unofficial coalition of PAS, DAP and PKR with a number of religious and racial matters currently being stirred up by a number of Umno and Perkasa leaders.

Apart from PR, the application for registration of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has also been systematically delayed for years reasoning "national security" matters being reviewed. The PSM however in the later year managed to obtain a court injunction to order the ROS to have the PSM registered and approved immediately.

The latest victim of ROS is the Human Rights Party (HRP) whose application for registration has been delayed for another year despite having all its details and facts followed in accordance to the procedures of the ROS and Societies Act.

However, we could see BN-friendly political parties like Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (KITA), Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM), Makkal Sakhti Party (MSP) and Malaysian Indian United Party (MIUP) are being approved and registered so quickly without any hassle or delays. ROS said they followed all the procedures. So does PR, PSM and HRP, and why aren't they being approved and registered as their applications too are in order?

Yeah, ROS said KITA, PCM, MSP and MIUP followed all the procedures, means that they are toeing the BN's line! It is a fact.

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 ...
