Gerakan deputy president Oh Tong Keong has taken former Bersih chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan to task for saying that if the government does not implement certain key reforms by June, the people will “go to the streets” again.
"Remember, Ambiga and Bersih lost their neutrality before the election because they openly supported Pakatan Harapan.
"But now she is threatening to take to the streets for failure to deliver reforms? She should apologise to the people for calling on them to support Pakatan Harapan," Oh (photo) said in a statement today.
Ambiga was part of the Institutional Reforms Committee (IRC) - which falls under the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) - set up to look into the reform of key institutions such as the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC), the police force, the MACC and the Election Commission (EC), among others.
Yesterday, she expressed her frustrations that the report has not been made public and the key reforms have not been carried out.
Ambiga, who is former Bar Council chairperson, also said she no longer recognises some of those in Harapan who was so fearless before they became part of the government.
Oh claimed that as part of the IRC, Ambiga was also responsible for the reforms being enacted.
"If the government does not change, Ambiga also must take responsibility, rather than pretending to be a hero," said Oh. - Mkini
What a stupid comment from Mr Ong. With all do respect, we the people threw out BN because of corruption. If Pakatan fails to perform we will throw them out also. Ambiga is doing the right thing then by calling Malaysia to defeat the most corrupt Government in GE14. Now she is going to put pressure on PH. I thing she is doing the right thing again. Gerakan is not performing as a good and reliable opposition you will never get our vote. So you see we just want a government which is clean and performing. There is nothing to appologize. You perform we maintain but if you screw up we will change you. Just buck up and do your job. Thats what we pay each and everyone of you for. So far Gerakan has not been performing. What say you on this.
ReplyDeleteAh Oh.....Ambiga's call to support PH because BN was mired in corruption and abuse of power ( check out audio tapes exposed by MACC Lateefah ). If apology is what you looking for , how about Gerakan apologise to Malaysians for abetting BN in highest kleptocratic scandal in human history through 1 MDB....if we recall, you guys were quiet as church mice and Malaysians were left poorer...!!
