Honeymoon is OVER
Weather: Cloudy
Temperature: 22 c
I hate to write this article, and this article is written with great reluctance. However, in the name of fairness and in the spirit of democracy, I have to voice my comments on this Pakatan Rakyat state.
This morning, I read the news about more than 100 unhappy PKR members failed to meet their de facto leader. Apparently, they were unhappy over their failure to be appointed local councilors.
Selangor state's 288 new local councilors will be from non-governmental organizations and professionals, with the rest from PKR, DAP and PAS. More than four-fifths of the 288 councilors have either a diploma or a degree, and are professionals such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, environmentalists and academicians.
This appears to be a good development towards the right direction. Under the previous administration, even a former gatekeeper could be appointed as local councilor. Not only that, the son and daughter-in-law of the former gatekeeper were also appointed as local councilors.
So, why are these PKR members unhappy?
Oh, according to this unhappy group, many party members had been sidelined as the Menteri Besar had chosen professionals over them.
Shit! After kicking out the previous corrupted, inefficient, and arrogant administration, and witnessing the new alternative getting into power, we are back to square one. The members of this newly elected government want to be “rewarded”. They want to be appointed as local councilors not because they think they are qualified to serve but because they have “braved water cannon and beatings and have been loyal to PKR for years”.
Now we see their true colors. I honestly thought they were different from the Umno buggers. I honestly thought we will be able to breathe some fresh air after the recent general election, which saw our former Menteri Besar “demoted” to an opposition leader. But now, I can only smell the same old soup with different cook.
Pakatan Rakyat, please buck up! Honeymoon is over, and the people are watching.
