IPOH: An opposition assemblyman wants the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) to investigate the legality of the state government’s move to use public funds to help families of Internal Security Act detainees.
“It is illogical and wrong to include them along with those suffering from chronic illnesses, orphans, senior citizens, single mothers and so on,” said Dr Wan Norashikin(BN) when debating the 2009 Supplies Enactment at state legislature yesterday.
PERHAPS she is right.What she does not realise is the blunder that the previous and current BN goverment have made. To help the family of those detained ISA in my opinion is never a mistake.
If she insists that allocating a tiny portion of the whole budget to help these people is inappropriate, she should remember that it is always wrong to use public funds to detain them in the first place. Firtstly, it is a misuse of public's money. Secondly, you are causing unnecessary troubles to affected family. Thirdly, although possibly the contribution is unremarkable, you are not helping in building a world class economy in Malaysia generally.
I strongly believe what Perak government is doing is absolutely not wrong.
What is more important is to criticise what is wrong, and to support what is right.
If she thinks that single mothers, orphans and senior citizens are not getting enough help, maybe Perak government should also spend some time looking into this matter. After all, why use KEADILAN as the name of your party, if you can't translate it into action?
till next time,
assalamualaikum
