Political deadlock

Before the old stuff gets done, here comes another fresh cake.
Deputy Higher Education Minister Ong Tee Keat was quoted as saying Education Ministry officials pocketed funds meant to refurbish Chinese primary schools, Education Minister Hishammuddin Hussien dismissed the allegation as inappropriate and accused Ong as trying to act like the only leader who champions the cause of the Chinese.
While neighbouring countries continue to move forward and strive for excellence in education, we’re still stuck in a political deadlock, worse in the name of education!

Hishammuddin Hussien is just another [DELETED by SK] Umno Youth who can’t think well, and can’t speak well too.

bro, what i find interesting is this: hishammudin tells tsu koon let’s kiss and make up over the racial issue raised by his deputy khairy jamaluddin. hishammudin knows that pemuda umno is not going to win this one simply because kj has become very UNpopular and could be a liability to umno if hishammudin doesn’t kiss tsu koon’s hand quick. in the process he saves the son-in-law.
and what better way to bury that fiasco deep in the ground by creating another issue. ong tee kiat is an easier punching bag - he’s only a deputy minister and within mca his eyes aren’t blue. but i fear even this will backfire.
hisham must learn to walk the talk. if you advocate solving bn problems using bn processes, don’t try to win points by hitting below the belt. ong tee kiat may prove to be a touger opponent than you think.

This is a hopeless Minister of Education with a pea brain knowing nothing about the education system in the country.He should put his facts first before blasting Ong Tee Kiat.Ong is not stupid to expose that if he had no solid evidence.Maybe,Hishamuddin is trying to cover-up his corrupt-officials or he must have a hidden agenda! This nincompoop Minister is good not nothing and if not for his father’s sake, he would be nowhere in UMNO.

I have a sinking suspicion this is a response to KJ and UMNO Youth recent racial politics. Its more like a warning shot to UMNO Youth that BN component parties can do more than just complain if they are pushed too far. It

What is going on now in this country is pitiful, hopeless and disgusting. The Umno Youth can say anything they want, irrespective of whether such talking will hurt the feelings of fellow BN component party members. This is their right !!! They claimed !
But once non-Umno say anything, they wil be branded insensitive, and the whip will be cracked on them. Probably this is the best way to cover up corrupt practices, by ignoring facts, and clamp down on disagreeing voices !!
What is this country becoming to be ??
