Sometimes it irks me when politicians resort to the racist game to gain political mileage.
No, they are not bothered if their statement incites hatred between two races. It’s alright, so long if they look good. Scoring political points matters more than anything else to them.
They would go at great lengths to score points. It’s not surprising that they would forsake their integrity for political survival.
It was so disgusting to read in the Chinese newspaper on what Teresa Kok, the Selangor state executive councillor had said regarding a Chinese school ‘grabbing” land from an Indian school.
The way she puts it gives the impression that the land was snatched through dubious means when it was not the case.
To put the record right and things in perspective. The story goes like this.
SJK (c) Kheng Chee sought approval from the Education Ministry in 2008 for its school to be relocated to Puchong because of dwindling student enrolment.
In July this year, Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin granted approval for the relocation and Teresa Kok, who is the MP for Seputeh, apparently was quoted in newspapers as welcoming the decision.
Today this two-face politician seemed to be speaking a different lingo or singing a different tune altogether.
She has been harping on the SJK (c) Kheng Chee issue to create anger among the Indian community that a Chinese primary school had gotten the piece of land which SJK (T) Castlefield had applied for.
To put the record straight, Castlefield only applied in September last year for relocation to a similar site as Kheng Chee.
In all fairness Kheng Chee applied first and got the approval first.
So what’s the problem with Teresa – trying to stir up shit instead of finding solutions for Castlefield.
Being a three term Seputeh MP, obviously Teresa knows what to do. You are a seasoned politician.
Don’t just “cucuk here and cucuk there”. Why not seek the Selangor government’s help to allocate an alternative state land for Castlefield.
After all Selangor which is now under the Pakatan Rakyat government has vast tracts of land.
If Pakatan Rakyat could not even help the Indian community to relocate their school, stop talking about taking over Putrajaya.
As for Teresa, please Stop The Lies and don’t seek cheap publicity.
- Stop the lies
