Bukankah para pemimpin Umno sangat sayang dan utamakan Proton?

-
Sewaktu dua kerajaan negeri yang diterajui oleh gabungan penbangkang Pakatan Rakyat mengambil keputusan untuk melupuskan kenderaan rasmi yang lama, iaitu Proton Perdana milik pentadbiran masing-masing oleh kerana kos pembaikan dan servis untuk kenderaan-kenderaan tersebut didapati terlalu mahal dan semakin meningkat, para pemimpin Umno dengan lantas mengeluarkan kritikan dan kecaman mereka dengan mengatakan bahawa para pemimpin dan menteri-menteri besar kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat tidak mengutamakan kenderaan buatan Malaysia iaitu Proton dan lebih suka dengan kemewahan kenderaan-kenderaan asing yang diimport.

Manakala ada pula pemimpin Umno yang menuduh para pemimpin parti-parti dari pakatan pembangkang yang kononnya mereka menderhaka dan membelot kepada negara dengan mengambil keputusan untuk menggantikan kenderaan rasmi kerajaan negeri yang sedia ada dengan kenderaan model Toyota Camry 2.0 dan 2.4 yang dipesan daripada UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd.

Alasannya, kita semua pun telah mengetahuinya. Kenderaan-kenderaan yang dihasilkan oleh pembuat kereta nasional Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd (Proton) jelas gagal memaparkan mutu dan prestasinya dengan lebih baik daripada kenderaan-kenderaan berjenama asing. Banyak aduan daripada pelanggan-pelanggan mengenai keadaan kereta-kereta Proton, malah mutu pembaikan dan servisnya juga didapati tidak memuaskan, apatah lagi dengan khidmat pelanggannya yang tidak efisien.

Adalah jelas, apa yang diperkata, dikecam dan dikritik oleh para pemimpin Umno selama ini adalah cuma bertujuan untuk melanjutkan agenda politik mereka serta bersifat hipokrit belaka.

Daripada tinjauan terhadap tiga orang menteri besar Umno baru-baru ini, adalah didapati ketiga-tiga pemimpin Umno ini turut membeli dan menggunakan kenderaan berjenama import yang mewah sebagai kereta rasmi ketua kerajaan negeri masing-masing.

Bukankah itu "menderhaka", "tidak sayangkan barangan buatan Malaysia" atau disebut "pembelot"? Suatu hipokrasi para pemimpin Umno yang amat jelas terpapar di sini.

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...
