IPOH: Solving local issues affecting the people is not exactly the job of a member of parliament but M. Kulasegaran, MP for Ipoh Barat, still demands solutions from the authorities so as not to let his constituents down.
The second-term MP said if councillors and local councils had done their job well, people would not bring their problems to the elected representatives. “This is why we are planning to appoint 30 per cent of councillors from a diverse section of the community including professionals and those who who can discharge their duties effectively.” » Read more: Interview with Kulasegaran MP Ipoh Barat

We have seen before where a person wants to hold many posts since he/she has firm belief that he/she can do an excellent job. And most of the time, it will backfire. The person will end up being a part-timer for every job. Plus, he will be branded as greedy and power crazy, even though the intentions are good. Please give others a chance to help in nation building. » Read more: Kula for Mayor?

So, looks like Sivakumar may get the assembly speaker position, but there’s a small matter of contest since the opposition BN also proposing another candidate. Earlier, it was the other Siva – Sivasubramaniam who created a ruckus by quiting DAP when only one Indian was selected for EXCO position. So, one Siva (Sivanesan) is EXCO, another (Sivakumar) poised to be Speaker. How about the the final Siva (Sivasubramaniam)? » Read more: Tronoh ADUN Sivakumar as Assembly Speaker?

Sivanesan skips PTA meeting due to Ministry circular

From what I understand, the circular says only selected people can be called to officiate or launch the events. The state leaders can still visit as part of their jobs or as normal VIP. What Sivanesan is saying sounds like partially true only. If any school has health problem – like food poisoning, he would be expected to go there to investigate and get reports, not to officiate some event. Same goes to Ngeh. » Read more: Sivanesan skips PTA meeting due to Ministry circular

Another lesson for the new Perak Menteri Besar. He is sure to have his hands full for next 5 years as many quarters are just waiting for gaffes or mistakes like these to happen. Anyway, at least he had the courtesy to admit his mistake. Next step should be to publish the apology in the media.

Now, how many of us know the difference between Sikhs and Bengalis? Easy to blame the MB, but I wonder how many would have made the same mistake if was in the same situation. » Read more: Perak MB confused between Sikhs and Bengalis
