PETALING JAYA: The defection of Sabah Umno leaders, which has led to an absence of a strong opposition in the state, is worrying, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).
With everyone in the government, Dr Wee asked who would be holding it responsible for its actions.
“Democracy flourishes when there is a two-party system with checks and balances. If everyone jumps to become part of the government, who will be the opposition?
“Who will be the voice of the people inside and outside of Parliament to hold the government responsible for its actions?
“The situation in Sabah, where there is no longer any strong opposition after the recent mass jumping of state assemblymen from the opposition to the government, is worrying,” he said on Facebook yesterday.
Citing an example of why a strong opposition was important, Dr Wee said a “super-majority” Sabah government had amended the state constitution to now allow the governor to serve beyond the two-term limit.
The amendment, which was passed on Thursday despite objections from the opposition, allows the Sabah governor to serve beyond two terms of four years each.
“How does this move benefit the rakyat? How is it consistent with Pakatan Harapan’s manifesto that seeks to limit the terms of those in power? This is one example why there is always a need for a strong opposition. This is rule number one in democracy,” he said.
Dr Wee called on everyone in MCA to understand the importance of their roles and responsibility as the opposition.
“MCA members and leaders must understand why this is important; why you are important and why we must carry out our responsibility and perform our roles well – for the sake of the nation and for democracy,” he said.- Star

Sudah dua tahun sekarang saya memberikan kesaksian tentang bagaimana saya meminjam jumlah 700 juta dari Iskandar Lestari Loan Company dan beberapa orang meragukan saya karena tingkat penipu online saya bisa membuktikan kepada Anda semua bahwa Bunda Iskandar bukan pemberi pinjaman yang curang. telah memberi saya satu hal lagi untuk tersenyum karena setelah menyelesaikan angsuran bulanan pinjaman yang saya pinjam sebelum saya memohon kepada ibu bahwa saya ingin pergi untuk ekspansi lebih lanjut dari bisnis saya sehingga saya mengajukan jumlah 2,7 miliar setelah melalui proses hukum transaksi saya disetujui oleh pihak berwenang dan dalam waktu tiga hari proses hukum untuk menyalurkan pinjaman saya ke rekening Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) saya tercapai dengan mudah. Saya tidak memiliki tantangan dengan Bank Indonesia (BI) karena Ibu Iskandar dan tim Manajemen dari ISKANDAR LESTARI LOAN COMPANY telah dianggap sebagai pemberi pinjaman yang sah sehingga tidak ada masalah sama sekali untuk bantuan keuangan, hubungi ISKANDAR LENDERS hari ini melalui llow informasi kontak
