DAP Secretary-General and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s silence over the issue where DAP National Chairman Karpal Singh had asked for Penang Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P Ramasamy to resign is akin to the ostrich mentality of hiding its head whenever a problem arises.
As National Chairman of DAP, Karpal Singh has made his position very clear, that is he wishes Ramasamy to resign as DCM II of Penang, but Lim Guan Eng, who has yet to respond to the issue of allegations of corruption among Penang Pakatan Rakyat state assemblymen as it might reflect badly on his administration, tries to avoid responding to the issue.
In any incident involving the Penang state government, Lim Guan Eng has the responsibility to give an explanation to the people of Penang as their Chief Minister. He must immediately provide a clarification after the incident and explain the circumstances surrounding it. The people believe that Karpal Singh and Seri Delima assemblyman RSN Rayer will not make any accusations without proof, and Ramasamy’s speech has also clearly pointed out that DAP and the Penang state government are involved in corruption. Therefore, Lim Guan Eng’s silence on the issue makes it seem like something is wrong.
Why is it that Karpal Singh, who has nothing to do with the Penang state government, can determine that Ramasamy should resign from his position? Karpal Singh’s interference in the operation of the state’s administration is irrational and cannot be accepted, and it also proves that the Penang state government cannot make decisions independently as the decision-makers are outside from the state’s control.
We must remind Lim Guan Eng that it is the time for him to respond and to explain to the people how he is going to handle the situation. This is because it is not just an internal dispute within DAP, but more importantly, it involves the administration of the state which will affect the people of Penang.
I hope that Lim Guan Eng will not evade and ignore the seriousness of this problem. Wanita MCA Penang will not sit quietly by and we will remind Lin Guan Eng from time to time that he must provide an explanation for the sake of the people.
(吉隆坡29日讯)槟州马华妇女组主席陈清凉揶揄林冠英还是针对拉玛沙米和卡巴星相互公开吭呛事件默不作声,坚持以鸵鸟心态来回避问题。
她表示行动党全国主席卡巴星已经非常明确的表面自身立场,坚持要求拉玛沙米辞职,反而身为总秘书的林冠英却完全不做回应,事关民联州议员是否涉及贪污舞弊指责却得不到州首长的回应,整个事件的来龙去脉视乎没有那么单纯才会导致林冠英必须以回避来谈化整个事件。
“在任何涉及槟州政府的事件上,林冠英有责任向槟州人民做出解释,身为槟首长,他必须在事件发生后立即阐明本身立场,并清楚交代事件的来龙去脉,他们相信卡巴星和雷尔不会在没有充分的理由下,胡乱的做出指责,而拉玛沙米的言论也非常的明确道出行动党和槟州政府里的贪污腐败现象,因此林冠英的沉默将让整个事件更加引人遐想”。
她也质疑为何在槟州没有担任任何职位的卡巴星可以肆无忌惮的要求身为槟第二首席部长拉玛沙米辞职,卡巴星以党的名义干涉州政府的运作是非常不理智和完全不能被接受,也开启党政不分的危险例子,这将威胁到槟州政府的独立决策权力,进而削弱州政府的独立性,增加政党对州政府决策权的控制。
“我们必须一再的提醒林冠英是时候回应和向人民交代如何处理有关事件,这不单是涉及行动党内部纠纷,但更重要的是影响槟州人民对州政府的处事态度和州政府行政规范是否被干预和侵蚀”.
她希望林冠英不要再逃避问题,轻视问题的严重性,槟州马华妇女组不会坐视不理,将会不时对林冠英加以提醒,为求他能够立即的向人民做出明确的交代。
