The Dilemma Of MCA Sabah, Where Do We Go From Here?



The perversity of continue appointing Raymond Tan Shu Kiat as Deputy Chief Minister (DCM) is just not only inappropriate but also an act of blatant insult to the people of Sabah.

Raymond Tan should voluntarily give up the Minister of Works and DCM since the pull out of SAPP from BN. However, it takes two to tango, both CM & Raymond should not ignore the feeling of the people, especially the matter has now escalated to a serious issue of Public Interests.

Take for example; a vacancy of Deputy Finance Minister left by the resignation of SAPP's YB is deliberately left vacant until today. Furthermore, another Deputy Works Minister post also has to be reappointed due to the corruption ridden UMNO YB from Kota Belud.


People has been wondering what's in the mind of CM? What's the poser?

Maybe, an answer will surface after the UMNO Supreme Council Meeting on or after 24-May-2009?

The CM of Sabah is also the Finance Minister.

MCA Sabah has been doing the most on helping the local people on the federal affairs such as health, education, transportation, and security over the years ever since 1992, the same year as the entry of UMNO Sabah; regrettably, it was never given the due respects it deserves in reciprocal.

Although MCA is the second dominant coalition component party in National BN, only next to UMNO, it’s not given the same opportunity to develop itself right from the start in Sabah, citing for fear of losing the supports of local people whom are still very much anti-semenanjung and regionalist.

The BN Sabah, led by UMNO, seems over the years been discriminative against MCA that it has been “asked” to take a back seat in the running of the state by the so-called “BN’s Spirit”.

The local-based parties were allowed and encouraged to grow their strength naturally; unfortunately, MCA was left to grow under-nourished without the needed resources it should have, either from MCA Central or BN Sabah. The situation of MCA Sabah has indeed been described as “demoralizing”, like it or not.

MCA Sabah should have been given at least one parliamentary seat to contest in the last general election but not so, largely due to the aggressiveness of SAPP wanting even more seats which had stirred up quite a bit of havoc prior to the 308 general election day. Nevertheless, MCA Sabah should now be given the chance now that SAPP is out of the coalition. Not only that, our only State YB should be promoted as the DCM as well as a full minister.

It’s high time that the MCA HQ extending its available resources to help MCA Sabah to secure the seat allocation as well as to ensure its eventual capture.

It’s now or never.

陈树杰以独立议员身份任副首长,而且可以做这么久,的确不可思议。

他无党无派,但是,国阵里可有这样的独立议员身份?

国阵成员党里的成员竟然也可以包容这么久,这是第二不可思议。

以现在的阵容来看,要当华裔副首长,哪里轮得到他?

觉得他应该识相的辞职。

To 吾説八道 (林伯芳) :-
People can ask any politicians to resign unless the political system in this country is flaw.

Some politicians abuse their power which is entrusted by the people in the first place. They should exercise their executive power carefully and appropriately but once PUBLIC INTEREST is at stake, they'd better be prepared to resign or be prepared being sacked ultimately.

It’s not up to them (politicians) whether they want to resign or not, on the contrary, it’s the people to say and not them. They must be humble enough to accept this.

Unfortunately it’s common to see most elected politicians are far from this ideal and mostly making the same mistakes. They all think that the people are stupid.

Dipetik dari Suara Keadilan (dari markas Angkatan Muda Keadilan) (http://www.suarakeadilan.com/sk/beritautama/2009/04/4408)
Cadangan penalti RM50,000 bagi anggota dewan undangan negeri dan RM100,000 bagi anggota parlimen yang melepaskan jawatan tanpa sebab munasabah adalah satu cadangan keanak-anakan kerana tidak masuk akal kata Timbalan Angkatan Muda (AMK) KeADILan Faris Musa.
Berikutan kenyataan Ketua Pemuda Gerakan Kedah Tan Keng Liang yang mahu penalty itu di kenakan keatas mana-mana Adun atau Ahli Parlimen yang mahu meletak jawatan tanpa sebab manasabah.
Beliau juga mencadangkan jika perletakan jawatan itu atas alasan bagi mendapat mandat baru daripada pengundi bagi Adun terbabit untuk menyertai parti gabungan, penalti itu perlu dikurangkan separuh.
Sementara itu, satu lagi kenyataan yang dibuat oleh Ahli Parlimen Jerlun, Mukhriz Mahathir menyokong supaya Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya (SPR) mengenakan hukuman terhadap wakil rakyat yang meletak jawatan sesuka hati tanpa alasan yang kukuh.
Katanya, perbuatan meletak jawatan dalam kalangan Anggota Parlimen atau Anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri pembangkang dengan sewenang-wenangnya, kini seolah-olah menjadi trend bagi memastikan parti mereka sentiasa mendapat perhatian.
Perbuatan itu katanya merugikan rakyat dan negara kerana pilihan raya kecil memerlukan perbelanjaan besar setiap kali diadakan, selain mewujudkan suasana tidak selesa dalam kalangan penyokong parti-parti yang bertanding.
Faris membidas kenyataan Tan dan Mukhris sebagai tidak masuk akal kerana amalan perletakan jawatan adalah perkara biasa yang diamalkan di negara-negara berasakan demokrasi.
“Kenyataan itu amat tidak masuk akal serta agak keterlaluan dan memihak kepada kerajaan Barisan Nasional sahaja tanpa mengambil kira pendapat pihak lain,” jelas Faris kepada Suara Keadilan.
