Is Gerakan really multiracial?

-
Recently, a Penang based Gerakan divisional chief had openly condemned DAP for its window dressing multiracial stature in the party, further alleged that Malay leader who are at the leadership hierarchy are merely for show. What is the big fuss over here? Gerakan wanted to claim that they are more multiracial than DAP?

First of all, is Gerakan really that multiracial as claimed by its leadership? We doubt that certainly. According to that Gerakan divisional leader, Malays in the DAP are merely for window dressing. What about Gerakan? Are there any Malays in Gerakan's line-up? The answer is No! What about Indian representatives? Yes, there are only a few of them? We could also say the Indian members in Gerakan are also mere window dressing.

About 95 percent of the branch chairmen in Gerakan nationwide are Chinese. State leadership, we cannot see any of those non-Chinese who are really leading role actively and outspoken against racism. At the divisional level, maybe there are a few but most of them are certainly for "window dressing" as well, because they do not stand out to speak.

As Gerakan is still a component member of the Barisan Nasional (BN), why don't they pick on Umno, MCA and MIC who are truly racist parties? What about picking on PPP too? Although PPP claimed to be multiracial, but its majority are Indian members. Most of their leaders are also Indians. The SUPP in Sarawak who also claimed to be multiracial but Chinese-dominated. Pick on them too!

If Gerakan is really multiracial as claimed all the time, clean up your own backyard (BN) first. Go after the extreme one especially Umno and then MCA, MIC in order to prove you walk the talk. What about Ketuanan Melayu in BN? Why is Gerakan is so quiet on this? The frequent racist attacks made by Umno against other races and communities. Gerakan is so quiet because they are too afraid to voice out against the BN dominant party for fear of being expelled from the coalition.

We wish to advise Gerakan, look at your own mirror first before you talk about others.

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 ...
