START MOURNING no change in GE13

MALAYSIANS can start mourning if they don’t dump the sick, super corrupt and racist Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) government in the next general election (GE).

Mourn because it is crystal clear that BN is leading Malaysians and the country to the depths of a pariah state in the eyes of the world.

Mourn because our future is heading towards socio-economic disaster under the BN.

How low can the BN go to try and remain in power? All the way, by hook or by crook, my dear friends. Cheating, abuse of power, immoral means, you name it.

When it has reached this level, the only way for Malaysians to save themselves is to remove the BN from the pedestal of power in the 13th General Election which must be called latest next June.

VICTIMIZATION, INTIMIDATION BEGINS

I am referring to the removal of Selayang Municipal Council president Zainal Abidin Aala. His crime, to the BN: discharging his duty as a civil servant with honesty.

And he is not the first civil servant to be victimised in such a manner since the 2008 political tsunami in which the BN lost its traditional two-thirds majority in Parliament and control of five state governments.

BN tak boleh pakai lagi! (BN is already useless!)

At the rate the BN is removing top civil servants from office based on their honest administration, it is sending a clear message to the civil service: Serve us (BN), not the people.

This can only be disastrous because there will be mayhem in the civil service.

Only those with conscience, like Zainal, will stick to principles and honesty in discharging their duties.

The dishonest and those greedy for power will rise to replace people like Zainal, to serve the super corrupt Umno-led BN government.

No one will want to invest in a country governed by dishonest civil servants.

If such a scenario is not a clear sign for a country’s downfall, what is?

Here are the details of the latest issue:

VICTIMIZATION: Selayang Municipal Council chief transferred for taking PR's side

PETALING JAYA - Another head of a local council has rolled. The president of the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) Datuk Zainal Abidin Aala (pix) has been transferred, less than 18 months after occupying the hot seat.

The transfer, the second in as many months after the transfer of Petaling Jaya City Council head Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman, has caused yet another round of acrimony between the state and federal authorities, especially the Public Services Department (PSD).

In an immediate response to Zainal's transfer to the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan), Selangor executive council member in charge of local government Ronnie Liu said it "was an unusual move" and there are "elements of victimisation".

A letter from the PSD, dated Nov 9 and signed by its deputy director-general, ordered Zainal to report to Intan tomorrow.

MPS councillor Lee Khai Loon said the announcement came as a shock to the council and it does not agree with the decision.

"I personally feel this sudden notice from the JPA is related to the Batu Caves condominium controversy.

"We don't agree with this decision, as it was unilaterally made without any proper discussion with the council or the state government," he said yesterday.

Lee said that the transfer will also have negative implications on the Special Task Force set up by the state to investigate the Dolomite Park Avenue controversy.

"He is one of those in the know on the course of events which led to the approval of the project. Our aim is to retain Zainal as the head of the council," he said.

Liu added: "Don't misunderstand me when I say that this is an unusual move and it has elements of victimisation. Zainal executes his duties with dedication but is now transferred at the time when the state needs him most."

The announcement comes in the wake of the controversial 29-storey condominium project near the limestone cliffs at Batu Caves by Dolomite Industries Company Sdn Bhd.

The controversy erupted after the MIC, which has been at the helm of protests against the two tower blocks two weeks ago, claimed the project was approved by the current Pakatan Rakyat state government.

However, Zainal on Oct 30 said that approval for the condominium project given in November 2007 – when Selangor was still under the Barisan Nasional administration.

Documents have since surfaced which show that three MIC representatives – Rajakupal Sinnathamby, Jayakumaran Govindasamy and Rajandran Muniandy – and Deputy Foreign Minister A. Kohilan Pillay endorsed the decision of the One-Stop Centre committee to approve the project.
