Kedah MIC claims PAS-led state govt biased
Kedah MIC today claimed that the PAS-led state administration is biased and does not respect the friendships among Perikatan Nasional (PN) component parties.
Its chairperson S Ananthan claimed that the state government had sidelined BN, notably its component party MIC, from several appointments such as the member of the local council, the Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK), and community activist (PeKT).
There were also no representatives from the party in GLC, as well as an officer or special adviser to Menteri Besar for the Indian community, he said.
"PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan recently said all parties have to find ways to amicably work together in Gabungan Rakyat Sabah.
"There were disagreements surfaced following the appointment of PAS (Sabah secretary Aliakbar Gulasan) as an assemblyperson although it did not contest during the state election.
"This is the spirit shown by parties in Sabah. But how is the Kedah PAS attitude here? It seems that PAS did not walk the talk," he told Malaysiakini.
Ananthan claimed that the state government led by PAS had shut its door from other parties in Perikatan Nasional to join its leadership.
Malaysiakini has contacted Menteri Besar Sanusi Md Nor for comment.
Sanusi took over the helm from Mukhriz Mahathir after Pakatan Harapan, which previously led the state, collapsed in February following the defections of Bersatu and PKR assemblypersons to PN.
Ananthan expressed hopes that the state government would work together with MIC.
"I hope PAS here can be like its counterpart in Sabah. MIC, too, can play its roles in strengthening the state government machinery," Ananthan said.
PAKA power plant in Terengganu, which was cancelled by Former Minister Yeo Bee Yin (capacity was already too high) has been reportedly revived.

New Kulim airport in Kedah, coming soon....sorry Penang.....ha ha ha...
MIC has as good a chance of being in the Kedah government as PAS President Hadi ordering ex-husband Muhammad Ridhuan return daughter Prasana Diksa to her mother as the Federal Court ordered and declaring her conversion not in accordance with Islam as it was done solely for the purpose of securing custody.
ReplyDeleteJust show ONE instance MIC helping PAS to justify your demand. PAS already have a wing in the party that takes care of the Indian community and it is doing a fine job compared to MIC.
ReplyDeleteI can name one.
DeleteMIC has 1 MP, which is the majority PN gomen has in Parliament,
The descendents of immigrants are too good at putar belit to portray an image of vulnerability and being taken advantage of.
ReplyDeleteThe oldest civilization in Kedah was in the Bujang valley, where there was a 1,200 year old Hindu temple. Today in Kedah, where is Hinduism....? Dewa Bawah Pokok pun kena roboh for motorcycle parking.
