Give PRM a chance, Pakatan told

-
Recently, Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) has urged component parties of Pakatan Rakyat to allow them to contest some selected seats in the next general elections

And guess what, leaders of Pakatan especially Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) are quick to blast PRM over its intention to contest in the next general elections. First of all, why the arrogance being demonstrated against PRM? Didn't leaders of PKR realize that PRM is one of the oldest political party in this country and it has indeed contributed to the well-being of the people and the country as well.

Second, this is a democratic country and we are in our opinion that PRM should be allowed to contest in whichever seats they think fit to go into. And since PRM has great respect to Pakatan Rakyat, that is why they are requesting them (Pakatan) to avoid a three corner fight in the next general elections.

PKR on the other hand should not demonstrate such a childish act. PKR should also remember that they had contributed the most number of defectors as at today, which had also jeopardize the credibility of the Pakatan Rakyat coalition. PKR must also remember that it was them the 16 September project of the coalition had failed due to some sort of betrayal from inside.

We all should know that the objective of all opposition parties, regardless of those in the Pakatan Rakyat or otherwise are to deny as many votes as possible to the Barisan Nasional (BN) in the coming general elections and therefore, Pakatan leaders should at least be more generous in allocating some seats for PRM and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) as well.

Pakatan leaders must also realize that during the last general elections, both PRM and PSM had also mobilized their members in support and to campaign for PKR, DAP and PAS. Even if the percentage of the PRM and PSM members are small, but they too are the contributing factor which had helped Pakatan to gain power in several states and get elected to the parliament and state legislative assemblies nationwide.

To allow PRM to contest in some seats, just like they did it for PSM previously is to show to the people that Pakatan Rakyat is not an overlord or arrogant like the BN is. In this case to allow PRM to contest will also convince the people that Pakatan is able to work with all parties in order to achieve the goals and objectives as mentioned in the Pakatan's Orange Book framework.

As such, we urge leaders of the Pakatan Rakyat to reconsider their stance on the seat allocation in order to allow PRM some rooms to demonstrate their commitment and will to the people. Let them have the opportunity to serve and prove themselves to the people, like what the voters had given you.

Remember, give and take would not make you lesser or smaller but in return you will gain ultimate respect from the people. Please think about it.

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.

No action against YBs without speaker's consent

-
Penang assembly Speaker Law Choo Kiang said the police and attorney-general (AG) cannot prosecute any elected representatives for any wrongdoings committed in the House. Law said the authorities cannot act on the assemblypersons without the agreement of the speaker. "So this clearly cancels the (planned) charge against Seri Delima assemblyperson RSN Rayer for sedition under the 1948 Sedition Act," the PKR Bukit Tambun assemblyperson said in a statement yesterday. Law said a warning based on the assembly's standing orders has been issued to Rayer not to repeat the remark "Umno celaka" (damned Umno), which the latter allegedly uttered in the House on May 20. Based on the standing orders, the 10 disgruntled Umno assemblypersons were also told to table an emergency motion to the Penang special assembly committee to deal with their indignation over Rayer's remark, Law added. "But Umno failed to obtain enough quorum or votes for the motion, so they couldn...
