My dear Tun Dr Mahathir
I'm during a detriment as to either we have been hallucinating or unwell to see a reality.
Your views upon Penang as well as Selangor have been misconceived as well as misplaced. You come across as a prejudiced politician determined to score domestic points as well as trick Malaysian voters. You do no credit to yourself nor do we live up to your reputation as an elder politician (Bernama, twenty-nine January 2012).
Your statement, "They have already been since a lot of chances. A lot of unfortunate things have happened in Penang, a same (is happening) in Selangor," does not have any sense during all. "They have been since a lot of chances", we unreasonably claim.
Pakatan usually came to energy upon Mar 8, 2008. They have been in bureau usually for four reduced years. What chances were since to them as well as who gave them those chances? What have been we talking about? What miracles were we expecting them to perform in this reduced duration of time?
Compare their reduced reign of bureau to a Barisan Nasional's nearly 55 years of reign truthfully as well as honestly. We can justifiably throw back during a BN a really words we had uttered: "They (BN) have already been since a lot of chances. A lot of unfortunate things have happened in Penang, a same (is happening) in Selangor." This is indeed a current regard requiring an honest answer from you, dear Tun.
More than half a century
Indeed, 55 years is a really prolonged time. It is some-more than half a century. The BN have been since all a chances it longed for as well as! needed. But what have a BN finished during their prolonged reign in bureau solely undermining a togetherness as well as keeping a people apart? Our togetherness has been destroyed by meaningless as well as thoughtless policies as well as statements but a caring for a gratification of a infancy of Malaysians who have been brotherly as well as poor.
Yes, Tun, if anybody had been since as well most chance it is a BN. Indeed, what some-more can a BN do which they had failed to do during these 55 years? What miracles can a BN right divided perform to transform this republic into a breakwater for all adults as well as yield them with a dignified livelihood?
What do we essentially mean by claiming, "They have been since a chance. What's there left to try. If we concede a incident to mellow badly, it will be formidable to repair."
Your rambling statement, "If we concede a incident to mellow badly, it will be formidable to repair" comes across as silly as well as garrulous. What has a Pakatan finished which has brought about a deterioration? What is which they have been we do which would describe a complaint over repair? Please be specific as well as enumerate a wrongdoings of a Pakatan.
Don't have statements we can't back up
Tun, we should not have unconditional claims which have been but merit. Many Malaysians have been indeed unhappy as well as disillusioned with we as well as justifiably feel which we have out-lived your utility as a domestic leader. You had your time as well as we did things a approach we longed for to. That duration is over as well as finished with. There is zero some-more for we to do.
Both Penang as well as Selangor have attracted a greatest FDI totalling some-more than RM15bn, which is unmatched by a BN-controlled states. Doesn't this indicate definitely which a Pakatan-controlled states have been behaving really most improved in spite of their reduced reign of reign as well as lack of executiv! e experi ence as well as expertise? Honestly, dear Tun, doesn't which merit some praise?
You kept everything underneath wraps as well as resorted to a Official Secrets Act (OSA) to repudiate adults their right to be informed. A lot of scandals as well as crime prevailed since they have been kept from a reach of open scrutiny as well as rhythmical as state secrets.
The Pakatan-controlled states in Selangor as well as Penang, upon a alternative hand, have promulgated a Freedom of Information Act in sequence to be pure as well as accountable. Tun, isn't this something which has to be complimented?
Cronies as well as corruption
Under your reign for 22 years, most crony politicians became wealthy over aptitude as well as but being accountable for their wealth. Elected member as well as cupboard ministers spoken their resources usually to we and, according to certain well-informed circles, we had used this report to secure their unquestioning loyalty. That was how we had your approach it was your approach as well as no alternative way!
We have been reminded of a episode concerning a dismissal of Osman Aroff, a afterwards Menteri Besar of Kedah, who had enjoyed a support of a infancy of assembly members in Kedah. These assembly members went to see you, dear Tun, to beg for a retention of their MB. You, reportedly saw them individually as well as after which they all returned to Kedah abandoning Osman Aroff. Rumour had it afterwards which we had a file upon any of them as well as which forced them to fall in line during a back of you.
Dear Tun, Pakatan-controlled states of Selangor as well as Penang did something which we wouldn't dare dream of doing. All their Exco members spoken their resources publically. This is something which polite multitude of Malaysia has been campaigning for, for a really prolonged time, claiming which this would curb crime as well as check abuse of governance.
But we would not be ! persuade d. You longed for to be a solitary arcane to a crime as well as abuse so which we would have comprehensive carry out over politicians holding open positions.
Many Malaysians, in a past, have worked loyally as well as steadily as well as had contributed to a swell of this country. These aged timers who late most years ago have been forced to struggle to live a hard hold up with their meagre pensions in these times of hardships. Their counterparts of modern times, upon a alternative hand, pull in accord with pensions to lead a decent life. The hardships suffered by these more aged adults have not been addressed. Their contributions were not even acknowledged.
But a Pakatan supervision in Penang has been giving out RM100 once a year for a final 3 years to express their high regard to these more aged citizens. Admittedly, this isn't really most though a really suspicion of high regard really warms a hearts of these people. With a vast resources accessible to a BN, they have been placed in a far improved incident to do some-more to help these unfortunate people. But why, dear Tun, did a BN supervision not bother we do this? They could have shown a generous face as well as since some-more to these people with all a resources during their disposal. But they did nothing!
Corruption has turn so rampant which so most of a resources is either lost or stolen to a detriment of a nation. Contracts since to crony companies with inflated costs have drained a wealth. Highway fee agreements, a Tajuddin-Malaysia Airlines out-of-court settlement, a rescue of Bank Rakyat as well as Bank Bumiputra, a reckless forex failure in a UK, a bungling Maminco tin-buying spree, to name a few they have all resulted in a detriment of billions of ringgit which could have alleviated a plight of a poor. These are, unfortunately, dear Tun, your legacies which brought distressing hardships for a homeless as well as a helpless.
Uplifting a people
You wou! ldn't ha ve open tenders for projects which would have saved billions of ringgit as well as secured a services of contractors with ability as well as proven expertise. That would have prevented some contractors from using divided but completing their projects as well as ensured which buildings wouldn't collapse since of bad workmanship as well as inferior materials. But repeated episodes of cheating contractors as well as uncompleted projects did not appear to disquiet a demur of those in charge. It was business as common as well as billions of ringgit were regularly squandered but a caring in a world.
On a alternative hand, right divided we have open tenders in a Pakatan states as well as Class F contractors have been really happy as well as contented with this arrangement. According to these contractors, underneath a prior BN government, a single had to have connectors to get a stipulate as well as a single had to give inducements to be considered favourably. Otherwise, removing contracts would have been impossible. But now, with open tenders, a honourable have been rewarded with contracts as well as they have delivered a finished projects upon time. Isn't this something which has to be appreciated, dear Tun?
Malaysian workers have been struggling for years for a smallest income policy. The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has been championing this issue for decades. But it was against vehemently by a Malaysian Employers Federation, which longed for to reap large increase from a persperate of a workers. And a Malaysian supervision did not have a domestic will to implement a smallest income policy. Thus we lost a local learned workers as well as builders who left a republic to work elsewhere. But a exploitation continues to this day with a practice of foreign workers.
Isn't it meritorious which a Pakatan supervision in Selangor has implemented a smallest income process for all its employees in GLCs as from January this year? They have been paid a smallest income of RM1,5! 00. Shou ldn't a employees enjoy a ripened offspring of their labour, dear Tun?
Farmers in a brand new villages of Perak who have been tilling a land as well as growing vegetables as well as ripened offspring for a republic for generations were exploited as well as kept in a state of doubt as to their provision as they did not own a land. Every choosing this became a moot point for a farmers. Whether their TOL would be lengthened or cancelled was a worrying experience for these farmers. And when a BN wins a choosing in Perak, a TOL of these farmers would be renewed. The summary was really clear. Vote for a BN or your TOL would not be renewed. They were beholden to a BN for a prolongation of their TOL.
The Pakatan supervision gave them a land titles as well as their dignity as well as freed them from their nonessential anxiety. The rational was these farmers have been upon a land for generations as well as have been portion a republic with their furnish as well as they deserved a land titles. Isn't this something smashing which deserves to be congratulated, dear Tun?
Every voter who dies in Penang as well as Selangor is since RM1,000 as well as RM2,500 respectively for funeral expenses. This assistance is greatly appreciated, especially by a poor. For a first time a voter receives something really specific as well as estimable when he or she dies. This had never happened underneath BN rule. They bribe a vital for their vote as well as dont think about them when they have been dead. Under a Pakatan order they take caring of a vital as well as a dead! Don't they merit a pat upon their back, dear Tun?
All this caring as well as giving must have a great stroke upon a people. If since some-more time there will be alternative great policies which will benefit a people as well as perhaps have it formidable for a BN to have any headway in a future. Is which what is worrying you, dear Tun? Is this what we meant when we sounded a warning to a BN, "If we concede a incident to d! eteriora te, it will be formidable to repair"?
You have rightly prepared for a inevitable severe threat for a BN. You have realised which it will be formidable to undo a great deeds of a Pakatan. In comparison, a BN will be expel in bad light as well as accursed for neglecting a infancy of a honourable Malaysians who have been poor. You have been saying what is impending as well as we have a right to fear a inevitable, dear Tun!
