No surprises when I read that the Indian assemblyman is given Human Resource as well as health and environment. This makes him the 4 assemblyman to have HR as a portfolio, after Negeri Sembilan, Johor and Penang. Malacca, Kedah, and Selangor EXCO don’t handle HR.

What we see here is that Indians are not capable of handling more important portfolios like trade, finance, etc. » Read more: Perak EXCO portfolio list

It was highlighted by NST that DAP initially allocated two positions for Indians in EXCO, and the balance four for the Chinese assemblymen. Howeve, only one was selected in the end. Now, Buntong assemblyman causes a bomb by quitting DAP. He will be independent candidate or will join MIC 😉 » Read more: Buntong ADUN Siva quits DAP!

We can expect the support from the Indian community for the government to continue sliding downwards if the hearing problem is not rectified. As Lim Kit Siang challenged, would the Gerakan, MCA and MIC ministers and MPs talk “behind doors” or openly to demand for release of the 5 people? Or would they continue with their old style? » Read more: Deaf goverment and limp members

Earlier, NST reported that there may be 3 Indian EXCO’s in Perak, with DAP “allocating” 2 seats out of 6, and PKR “allocating” 1 out of 3. There were even confident words from a DAP “insider” as well in the report.

As it went, in the end only ONE Indian was sworn in on Saturday – Sivanesan from DAP. Both Sivakumar and Sivasubramaniam were left with wishful thinking only. What happened to DAP’s 2 “allocated” seats? Did they chose the best men/women for the job?  So  it ended up as 5-1, instead of 4-2. » Read more: 3 Indians EXCOs remain a dream

3 Indians in Perak EXCO?

Hmmm…DAP only have Chinese and Indian candidates. So, not much options. But what irritates me is that the idea of seat being allocated by race. DAP allocates 2 seats for Indians, and the balance 4 for Chinese, says a “high-ranking insider”. Why not pick the best 6 for the job? Of course it is heartening to know that Indians are finally being given chance to serve the state/country at a higher level, but I hope these guys do the job well and not spoil the community’s name. » Read more: 3 Indians in Perak EXCO?
