Meeting friends from Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM)

-
During my short visit to Petaling Jaya, Kuala Selangor and Kuala Lumpur recently, I called on my friends from Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) and we all met up at Bangsar to discuss and exchanged views on several issues pertaining to the current political situation of this country, the Bersih 3.0 rally, Workers' Day rally, the future of Socialism in Malaysia and PRM's party activism.

The PRM delegation was led by Party Secretary-General Al Jafree Md Yusop, Cental Committee Member Nusrat Al Jafree, PRM Youth Chief Rizal Wong, Party Youth Activists Syafique and Firdaus.

During the discussion, I had learned a lot from the views given by the PRM delegation and I was also surprised by the warm and humble reception. I really valued the lessons and views given by them and I would like to thank Party Secretary-General Al Jafree Md Yusop, Cental Committee Member Nusrat Al Jafree, PRM Youth Chief Rizal Wong, Party Youth Activists Syafique and Firdaus for their views and discussions.

PRM President Dr Rohana Ariffin was supposed to join us in that evening but couldn't make it in the last minute due to some important party matters that she need to look into. However, I thank Dr Rohana for her regards sent via Jafree and would look forward in meeting her very soon.

Lastly, it is my wish to see PRM grow and become stronger sooner in order to offer our people an alternative political solution for the development of the socio-economic, labour, education, human rights, democracy and more importantly to see Socialism alive in this nation once again under the auspicious guidance of PRM.

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...
