Honestly, I'm getting sick of PAS' antics. Their true colors are coming out day by day. I voted for them because I had wanted to give them a chance to prove me wrong. Their 50% housing quota and most recently, the unity talk as well as rejecting Najib's move to liberaize the 30% bumi equity requirement, all says that they are still very much as racist as UMNO is and worse because they are also fanatical about religion.

Therefore, I think this is the right move. DAP should pull out! Good move.

Now the questions is, the pig abattoir is the only one in KEDAH. Now without it, kedah chinese will have to import pork from nearby state. SO chinese have to eat expensive and not fresh pork.

Quoting The Star Online: (If this piece of news is correct)
"Mayor Datuk Khazali Din was quoted as saying recently that the slaughterhouse was built illegally on the site 30 years ago, and the council had ordered the association to vacate the premises several times since 1995, with the latest such directive issued in May.
However, the association had asked for a postponement until the end of June this year, to give it time to find a new place, Su said, claiming that Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak had supported its application.
Su said that the one-month grace period was not enough for the association to find a new location for the slaughterhouse."
The slaughterhouse owner and the association cannot find a new site after several postponements since 1995?

Supporting DAP's decision to pull out does not help Pakatan's cause at all. Was PAS really wrong in demolishing an ILLEGAL abbatoir? Just because its a pig abbatoir you Chinese are so worked up and are willing to abandon the already fragile coalition. If the DAP wants to help the minority there, try to discuss internally among PR to help set up a legal abbatoir. Give and take lar ppl! Don't forget the main goal of removing the despotic BN!

Persona..I agree with you that it should be give and take, but from I have seen, the only people giving is DAP and PAS is taking. Example..PAS-UMNO unity talk, 50% housing quota, this pig thing etc etc

Mama Juwie...what's so racist about 50% bumi quota in a Malay majotity state? Well, the moment you think along this racial line (ie "Malay majority"), it's racist. Ok..for the sake of argument that it's not racist....then why must PAS up the quota from 30% to 50% when there was no problem to begin with in Kedah? Did you hear malays complaining about not having enough houses to buy? If not then what's the reason to raise the quota? To prevent more Chinese/Indians from moving to Kedah? It just goes to show that PAS is even more racist that UMNO.

MB Azizan wants 50% housing quota for Malays. Why 50%? What if Kedah have 78% Malays while 22% are minorities? Let the private sector be free from govt's interference.

All these quotas are bullshit. It's one way a corrupt govt "shows the Malays the bn govt cares for them". They give you crumbs while they helped themselves to all the meat. Stop the bloody corruption by govt ministers first. Use our country's wealth to build houses for the poor of all races like what they do in Brunei.

Instead they want to spend RM500mil on "so-called national service" - it's total bullshit. It's a way to enrich a few people. Imagine pocketing a few hundred millions every year. No wonder the govt wants all 500,000 17-year olds to attend so-called NS. More money to make!

From Malaysiakini...

"The abattoir was to be demolished last month but it was halted following the intervention of DAP state representative, Lee Guan Aik.

Before today's demolition, Menteri Besar Azizan Abdul Razak said that he had no power to stop the action by the municipal council."

The MB may not have the power to stop the action by the municipal council.
However, if the council acts contrary to state government policy, those appointed councilors may be removed by executive order.

Let's see if the MB is willing to exercise this power to persuade to correct the situation.

"The Star - Penang will not reinstate Johari despite pleas
BUKIT MERTAJAM: The state government has no intention of reinstating Johari Kassim as Seberang Prai municipal councillor although the PKR has asked that he be given a second chance."

Then DAP has no moral ground to ask kedah not to demolish the pig abbatoir. If they can remove Johari without giving him any chance to clarify; what ground do they have to condemn the Kedah government who on the other hand has been compassionate enough to take action only after allowing the pigs to operate their abbatoir illegally on a state land for so long and after repeated notice to move.

Why is DAP supporting people who flouted the rule this time? Is race the driver? Then should we say that DAP is a racist party?

50% bumiputra quota for housing! This racial discrimination is even worst than under BN rule previously. The minority should return to BN folds now that PAS has shown its true colour.

The state of Kedah has shown no improvements since PAS take-over. There are port-holes all over the roads in Kedah, the grasses are uncut, the rubbish bins overflowing with rubbish, flies every where and business opportunities very slow in this northern state. It is as if there is no body in control of Kedah. It has shown PAS is only good in Islam but a total failure in running the state. Now it is proven in Kedah that even PAS is even more racist and conniving than BN.

I think it's time for the non-malays to switch back their allegiance to BN since they are moving away from racism! PAS is moving towards racism at break-neck speed!

The Kedah case is just one proof of what to expect - especially in ther long term. Religion and state must not mixed - it is not even good for the muslims in the long run.

Why jump to conclusion even before finding out the truth? Typical Malaysians. Always have knee-jerk reaction to everything. When PAS was banging UMNO from every possible angle PAS is the man. But when something unverified pops up in the media every single body including babies(refering to level of IQ) commented negatively. Did'nt Nik Aziz said Islam forbids comsummation of pork for muslims but on-muslims can rare, trade and make use of the pig in any way they wish? Nah. Memory elapsed. Can't remember. I don't like memorizing things that don't benefit my pocket. It was 365 days 8760 hour 525,600 minutes 31,536,000 seconds ago. Remember the modern pig farm in Selangor? What was PAS reaction when UMNO was accusing them to fall into Kafirs trap? Did not PAS stood up against UMNO? Please ****** if u have a weak memory. They modern pig farm went ahead and in progress to this date.
This is why UMNO is not that afraid of PR. They know this coalition will crumble.
Just bring out some issues, then, accusations and slanting will be hurled like typhoon. DAP say PAS extremist, fanatic, incompetence, racist, shallow etc. PAS say DAP chauvinist, greedy, evil, nuisance, pig headed etc. I'm lucky that most of these commentators are not in a position of power. I can't imagine how all PR states will fair. It must be like a jungle. Flip flop policy, rioting, demo, blame game, who's the boss, public speeches 24/7 etc.

And please folks, why must everything in Malaysian politics seemed to boomerang back to race and religion? Malaysia is a polyglot rojak society and we should learn to live with one anothers way of life. Hindus and some Chinese buddhist dont eat beef, Muslims dont eat pork, Buddhist dont eat meat at all. So if we keep this up we will all be vegetarians. Nope, sorry, Muslims as I understand from my Shiite friends, are not allowed to be vegetarians.
