Indeed, as much as we bash BN loyalists, we shouldn't allow PR loyalists to take the reins either. Blind loyalty destroys checks and balances.

We must be as vigilant as we are in watching the PR as we were in watching the BN. The PR, on their part, must return the mechanisms of checks and balances to the people, such as municipal elections and the freedom of assembly.

Some responses to complaints about the Penang councilors have shown hints of a worrying phenomenon of hardcore unquestioning loyalty to the PR.

No one is infallible, and that is why we have checks and balances.

On the same note, PR has to shake off its opposition mentality.

The mandate of the people is for PR to govern. Rhetoric and complaints must be followed with alternatives. To forget to submit papers to parliament should not have happened because that is the very reason why the people mandated you. The recent meeting between KL MPs and the ruling MPs is not what I expected (given fair paper reporting). You can grumble about Bandaraya, but you have to be courageous enough to give your solutions.

The people had kicked BN out in 5 states. The people can do the same to PR in future.

YM RPK, expect a barrage of hate comments soon, as I expect my and the first two comments to be voted into oblivion. Your blog, which I have always read for a more accurate picture of 'the ground', has lately become an unbearable haunt of PR zealots who have very quickly demonstrated that they are nothing but a mirror image of that which they hate, BN. Please keep up your good work, but I ask you one thing: please, do not give in to the mood of the mob - you have done so on at least one occasion. You, above anybody else in Malaysia, is an example of 'opposition without blind loyalty'. To oppose the darkness of human nature whilst remaining impartial, is the essence of justice in every religion. The democratic principle is not about 'belonging' but about freedom to choose, but idiots will scream and shout you f*@*ing UMNO cybertrooper, or you have gone senile, as soon as you give an impartial critique of the political gods they so worship.

After exercising freedom in choosing what we think benefits us, we then imprison ourselves in loyalty, and idiotic notions of debt and filial piety.

I agree that Pakatan Rakyat should run the states in the best interest of the people, and always stay in touch with the people. What's the way of doing it now? As they can't be monitoring feedbacks from the people all the time. And we have to realise that there are some people who are more vocal than others when it comes to giving opinions.

The best I can think of is to have proper public consultation process when the state want to make major decisions. It may be a long process, as there will be oppositions for whatever reasons, but it's hard to see how else the people can provide more input to the state government.

The irony is, in our effort to distance and differentiate ourselves from the 'insanely fanatical' supporters of BN, what some of us had become was exactly the spitting image of what we try to diassociate from in the first place.

We must not let it be forgotten that no matter who is given the 'charge' of administrating the country, be it the BN or PR, we the rakyat are the true government.

Come on, be reasonable. After 50 years and poisoned minds of more than 2 generations, we cannot expect the world to have changed after 50 days. 50 days in an office where many candidates had no previous experience.
And we already hear complaints that the BR MP has yet to knock on your door and introduce himself.
And we already read of some keen to vote BR out for accidentally not filing a question for the first sitting of parliament.
And we already come to know that an Ex-Gerakan has been appointed 'wrongly', in order to help BR people to enrich themselves.

Come on, don't go overboard. Especially if you are not well-versed in politics. I am sure there are good reasons behind what most of BR MPs do, whom they appoint. You guys have allowed BN to cheat and plunder you for 50 years, and now, once woken up, you'd rather have them back than giving BR 1/365 of time to rectify everything. (50 years to 50 days)
The people are only at the beginning of the change; not only policies need to change, we all need to change. That can't be achieved by the stroke of a pen.

To be frank, I am also quite disappointed with the way PR is managing their states. In Penang, they have just appointed ex-Gerakan Deputy Secretary General to head Penang Development Corporation (a Penang state GLC) and a few other prominent in BN past administration.

On the contrary, I am quite pleased. Not all in the BN are bad apples. Some of them have lots of experiences that can be put to use under the right direction to speed up what needs to be done to get the 5 PR states moving ahead.

Not every PR member of parliament have a blog, or at least a blog in English or Malay. Some do have blog but in Mandarin.
Best to have feedbacks in various language and this is where the bureau play a part. A part to connect and communicates.
Once complains are in the net , it is very transparent.And serves as a FAQ to others in the same or similar dilemma.

Let us get one thing very clear..

Stop the Politicking and Get on with the serious work of facing the escalating economic threats such as:
- Food and commodity price inflation eating into the purchasing power of Malaysians
- Locate spare capacity to invest in farming/agriculture/commodities to feed the hungry Malaysians and ensure the nation does not go hungry
- Charity begins at home and we got to do what it takes to be self sufficient in feeding our own people
- The commodity price inflation is anticipated to go up until 2015 or 2020 at the latest as this phenomenon is mainly structural and consequently draws in the speculative money. It is strucrural where demand exceed the supply and it takes time to bring in additional supplies.

Key point is BN and PR have to work together now to manage this escalating economic threat that will erode the purchasing power of the people and the nation as a whole.

I know there are more but allow me to list some which I feel need to be addressed urgently.

1) Security.
I believe the security is getting from bad to worse. Do something about it. Meet with the state police head to get them to do something about it. Same apply to KL.

2) Education.
Do tell us it is no within your power to do something about it. We wants quality and not quantity. What is the point for our student scoring 20 A1s when he or she cannot compete in global arena. What about the majority?

3) Poverty
Regardless of the races, we want you to help the poor. Do something to ease their burden of price increases.

4) Flood & Traffic Jam
We do not need weather dept to tell us that Malaysia will have plenty of rain. Our monsoon drains are too small. Rivers have too much rubbish thrown in to them.

Do that to the five states you rule. KL where you have majority. And put pressure for the government to do something about it for the rest of the states and federal.

No matter what the feelings are, MPs from PR must realize by now that they must work closely with the Federal Government to bring progress to their states. We’re not expecting the two governments to start holding hands and sing praises to each other but we do expect them to just use some common sense in their dealings with each other, for the benefit of the States and its’ people.

Most people would feel that their own side may be compromising too much or that the other side is always winning but this perception of working for just one group or party must be erased. We must remember that state governments do not work solely for the party but for all of the people in their states, no matter the race or party affiliations.

It may also seem unusual to have councilors from BN working in state offices, but given the experience and knowledge of the councilors, this approach will not only benefit the state but also a logical step of getting things done in a quicker fashion. Bottom line is, we are all Malaysians and our interests and welfare rest squarely on the shoulders of the State and Federal governments.

- a neighbour has the so-called Peoples Representatives(PR), PR then gets elected to represents the Peoples Council(PC), PC elects the country's Premier (President or PM) and the President or PM selects his cabinet members.

- PC holds the authority to deal with the Premier or cabinet members. Thus no by-elections or what so ever that wasted the peoples fund.

Pakatan Rakyat did not win these five states. It was the people who decided that they wanted to get back control of these fives states. And the people did this by appointing Pakatan Rakyat as their trustee to run these fives states.

That’s right. Pakatan Rakyat is not the government in these five states. The people are. But the people can’t all be running these five states so they entrusted these states to the care of Pakatan Rakyat. So Pakatan Rakyat, the trustee, has to go back to the people to find out how they would like these states run.

After 50 long years in the political wilderness as the Opposition and being abused by the BN Govt. by the ISA and the PPPA and Seditions Act and all the tools the BN used to muzzle the people and dissenting voices, we the Rakyat can understand the euphoria amongst the Opposition members for the vicyory on March 8th.

This article is timely, as it is time the euphoria must stop, and hard work take its place. Constant communications with the Rakyat who voted you in (and those who did not) must be up and running. This is a crucial factor where the PR reps must keep their fingers on the pulse of the Rakyat and their ears on thr ground.

PR must consciously combat against looking internally amongst party members for every role that needs to be played. They must offer those roles to the best in that field or industry, and not just use this to "pay back" or "reward" party stalwarts who have supported them. That would be counterproductive. Rewards for party stalwarts, yes, but come up with realistic incentives, and not "make do" with limited talent for issues that affect Malaysia and its Rakyat!

Pakatan must successfully tap this talent in Malaysia (maybe even talent amongst Malaysians who are not in Malaysia)!

i do have reservation how PR would run the states but i'm keeping a hopeful mind.

when we kicked BN out is not because PR is convincing but because we're tired of BN's weaknesses. we're giving PR a chance to run the states and perhaps the country one day. BUT...it will only materialized should they perform duty well.

for those that missed out the submission of the questions for the parliament is absolutely inexcuseable. "forgot", "i don't know", "i was not told" are what primary students would say to teachers, a very naive & ignorant lots. this is the last chance you would get from us, we expect nothing less but commitment.

and lastly, i hope DSAI would stop talking about being the next PM, he should start talking about how he will contribute in running the PR states. let's get down to work, this is your chance to show us what you are capable of, take it as a probation before assuming the bigger role as PM. perhaps, LGE could be PM should you fail to perform. if PR is a true democratic alliance, i don't see any reason why anyone else who is capable from PAS, DAP or PKR can't be PM one day, irregardless the race, religion or sex.

Alah.. bukan susah nak bagi orang kampung nampak muka ADUN atau Ahli Parlimen kita. time kenduri kahwin, kenduri khatan ke, kenduri arwar ke, Adun kawasan tu kena la hadir. tunjuk muka sat, makan nasi, salam2 skit, pastu blah la. orang kampung nak tengok muka sat je. tak payah hulur2 pun takpa. tak payah kacau rempah pun takpa. bagi nampak muka je lepas tu geng yg mulut jahat takda la bleh kata depa hilang.

cadangan je... tapi kalau hangpa buat, aku gerenti kawasan tu confirm hangpa bleh menang tiap kali pilihanraya.
