Generasi saya sentiasa dituduh – dengan alasan yang baik – tidak memahami implikasi sejarah. Ia bukan saja dalam persoalan menafikan fakta, tetapi juga emosi membuak yang terus dirasa. Dengan peringatan berterusan kerajaan tentang Peristiwa 13 Mei, kesan besar kempen menakutkan oleh Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM) menyusut. Cadangan membenarkan Chin Peng pulang telah membangkitkan kemarahan keturunan mangsa dan juga tentera. Salah satu daripada surat penentangan ini bertanyakan: “Chin Peng, di mana kubur ayah saya?”.

It is in the august hall that the people's Government are formed and answerable to the people's representatives.

To suspend or bar the people's representatives to enter the people's assembly is a mockery of the democratic system and the people's rights to be represented and be heard. Read More »

Now for a party like Gerakan that professes PRINCIPLES and VALUES above all else, how do we reconcile the fact that in the last General Elections the MAJORITY of the people in Perak as evidenced by the Pakatan having a majority in the state legislative, is this not eidence enough that the majority had chosen their government? How do we then accept the current majority enjoyed by the BN as legitimate? Is this truly DEMOCRATIC and JUST. Read More »

There is no denying that English is important, but the teaching of math’s and science in English is not about improving English, that is the purview of the teaching and learning of English. The teaching of math’s and science in English is about knowledge. And English here is just a tool to acquire knowledge, it is not to make you less Malay, less Chinese, less Indian, less Kadazan, less Iban and so on. It doesn’t have the ability to do that anyway. But some people ask why can’t we learn math’s and science in our mother tongue i.e Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and Tamil. Read More »

I agree, the quota system provided under the New Economic Policy do help certain ethnic group which purported been marginalised, to stand a better chance in the workplace. However, this policy has brought more harms than goods. Therefore, instead of maintaining a minimum quota of 30% of the employee must be Malays, I suggest this should be amended to a minimum quota of 20% for Malays, and another 20% for non-Malays, which include Chinese, Indians and others. Read More »

Prior to the amendments in law, any attempt to resolve the Perak crisis would only be in the short term interest and be futile in the long term. I reckon that it would be better if both leaders of Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat would work together in reviewing the election laws in Malaysia and make the appropriate recommendations to the Election Commission for the benefit of Malaysians.

Why do I mention Syed Hussien, it is because Gentlemen like him are not known to compromise the need to be multiracial in both form and substance. Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia or the Malaysian People's Movement Party started off as a multiracial party in 1968. Its first chairman was the late Professor Syed Hussein Alatas. In its early days as the opposition state government of Penang, Gerakan made quite widespread use of the services of its Malay members. When in 1972 Gerakan co-founder Tun Lim Chong Eu led the party into BN, the late Tan Sri Dr Tan Chee Khoon opposed it. Read More »

"As the state's chief executive officer, Lim has the prerogative over matters in the state administration, especially in the appointment and replacement of the Deputy Chief Minister. He seems to have lost his power to PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim," said Ong. "We understand that Lim, being the DAP secretary-general, can only control his own party and his men but when the post of DCM involves the state administration, Lim should be firm in making a decision," said Ong, adding that this latest fiasco only added to people's fears that the Pakatan was not a coalition of power-sharing but a coalition of supremacy of one man.

The reasons given out by him for his resignation, in particular to further his studies and to spend more time with his family, are totally unacceptable, (save as for death, illness or other conditions rendering the assemblyman unfit to discharge his duties).

Adalah tidak munasabah bagi menyifatkan sokongan mana-mana pihak kepada Barisan Nasional sebagai membalas budi. Sekiranya begitu, masyarakat Kelantan dan untuk seketika masyarakat Trengganu harus disifatkan sebagai tidak mengenang budi kerana mereka tidak mengendahkan Barisan Nasional. Sokongan masyarakat kepada Barisan Nasional adalah berasaskan kepada kesamarataan, kesaksamaan dan keadilan yang terkandung dalam pelaksanaan dasar-dasar yang menafaatkan rakyat. Read More »

As the ultimate boss, it is our right to throw out of office any representative who is not heeding the wishes of the people, who is not functioning well, and who is on the take. It is our right as citizens.
