Selangor DAP to quiz rep over ‘comedy of errors’ letter

SHAH ALAM: Selangor DAP will meet Damansara Utama assemblyman Dr Cheah Wing Yin to determine the accuracy of his letter, where he allegedly described Pakatan Rakyat's rule in Selangor as a comedy of errors.
“The Selangor state committee will be meeting Dr Cheah very soon to determine the veracity of the letter and discuss other related issues,” Selangor DAP chairman Teresa Kok said here.
Kok claimed the letter was carried by The Star yesterday without the permission and confirmation of Dr Cheah and the DAP leadership.
The 12-page letter that was made available to The Star was addressed to DAP advisers Dr Chen Man Hin and Lim Kit Siang, national chairman Karpal Singh and party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
The contents of the letter included a string of complaints against the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) and a certain powerful MP who apparently had the final say.
It was also alleged, in the letter, that the city councillors from the DAP had failed to respond to complaints and had not attended council meetings to address problems of his or her constituents.
However, Kok denied the allegations and offered her support to the MBPJ councillors.
In a related development, Kuala Kubu Baru assemblyman Wong Koon Mun said the letter, purportedly written by Dr Cheah, was a tell-all of Pakatan Rakyat's incompetence.
“Pakatan is being hypocritical. It is doing exactly what it criticised Barisan Nasional of.
“It has apparently created dissatisfaction among its own ranks,” Wong said in a statement yesterday.
“It is apparent through this letter that many of Selangor's Pakatan-aligned councillors are inept and irresponsible, and the fact that some are being reappointed is blatant proof of cronyism and nepotism.”
On another matter, Beliawanis MCA national chief Tee Hooi Ling said PAS did not care about the anxieties of non-Muslims especially the women when insisting on implementing the hudud law.
Tee claimed in a statement that women would be the first to be subjugated as their rights would be diminished, despite PAS' claim to promote a welfare state.

tunku : it is so obvious that pakatan's rules in selangor and in other states too as comedy of errors. there are corruption, nepotism and all the "ism' and "tion" you can name for. dr cheah is wasting his time with the 12 pages letter as they will be swept under the carpet as soon as it gets to the top leaders.
