AN IMMORAL ROAD WELL TRODDEN (UPDATE)

Update : What Sivasubramaniam says about his resignation - "My mother made me do it". The Warong kopi wonders if he has sought the permission of his mother to retract his resignation. Ah Neh, in your impatience to make your self more respectable you have not only damage and demean yourself but also that of the DAP-PKR-PAS alliance. Redemption is indeed a long word and a long journey.

1st Post :
The Warong kopi does not want to dwell too much on what Sivasubramaniam said when he quitted the DAP. Although he has a legal right to do what he did, he has chosen an immoral road to express what he so very much desires, an executive council seat in the Perak government.
Perhaps Sivasubramaniam was egged on by “
the greatest person ever born” when the latter opined that “the appointment of a single Indian executive council member in Perak is insufficient to cater to the needs of the community”. Perhaps the Buntong assemblyman took the opportunity to ride on the statement and (if there was ever one) offered himself to the highest bidder.
We may never know what lies in the dark recess of the heart of man.
However, we know that it would be for the greater good of the rakyat and the nation if he does not squander this new hope that was born in all of us on 80308. But then again, can the rakyat ever trust a man who shuts down his conscience when he hears the sirens of opportunity calling him?

Buntong assemblyman A. Sivasubramaniam has quit DAP, leaving the DAP-PKR-PAS coalition government in Perak teetering on the brink of collapse. In a letter to DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng dated March 31, Sivasubramaniam said he had had lost confidence in the Perak DAP as it failed to fulfill its promise to appoint two Indian state executive council members.
He added the decision was a "big slap" in the face of Perak Indians and tantamount to deceiving the community.
He also questioned why DAP central executive committee member A. Sivanesan, who is from Selangor, was chosen as an exco over other Perak DAP leaders.
Sivasubramaniam claimed that he and state party committee member and Tronoh assemblyman V. Sivakumar were supposed to get the exco posts as they had worked hard and sacrificed a lot for the party.
He added that even if an Indian Perak DAP member were to get an assembly Speaker or Deputy Speaker post, it could not “do much for the Indian community.”
