what 100 days you talkin' bout....?

What percentage is 100 days of 18,250 days ?? You tell me ? With all these demands on the "performance" reports of the newly formed coalition of 100 days being questioned by certainly the past state government's ousted and frustrated hecklers, it is sad, when little or nothing was demanded off, of them all this 50 odd years or 18,250 days or so then....right ??

Do we also question the "hijacked" memorandum by the "advisor" of PKR when it was endorsed by all six parties in February 2008 for failing to absolutely, without fear or favor, up-hold the "Peoples' Parliament's" initiatives to the tee, the "Piagam Rakyat" proposal ? I was there ! (click here)

Am I surprised, PAS, a co-signor (represented by Dr. Siti Maria) of the "People's Declaration" has so soon started to show their natural and "idiotic" colors in the recent protest of "entertainers" in Selangor, then when chided by the rest of the coalition, decided to withdraw their threats ? What happened to a Malaysia for ALL Malaysians ? Are they such hypocrites ??

But the Barisan Rakyat or is it Pakatan Rakyat are only in office for 100 days now, you might argue.... okay, granted, for some came into their new offices, practically devoid of files, cunningly "shredded-out" by the then out-going state government, in a desperate last minute bid to leave no evidence of all and any malpractices during their 18,250 day tenure !

It is tire-some and time consuming to re-construct entire files, especially with alot of insubordination from some still "die-hard" personnel, warped in allegiance to the past or with much "vested interest" that by only being uncooperative, saves the hides of these subjects, the full brunt of such a "discovery", right ?

So maybe, just maybe, we should just back-off a little and give the "new" state governments some more space and time before being unreasonably demanding, with the exception of moronic, bigotted and fundamentalists' beliefs and views, okay ?

After all what is 100 as compared to 18,250 huh ?

I am on the same wavelength with you on this. With all the "barriers and barricades" put by the defeated BN I am CELEBRATING the 100 days that they managed to survive against all the odds. But I certainly will not be so forgiving after the next 100days. The question I would ask next Saturday July 5 (postponed from 28June because of GMI rally at Shah Alam Stadium) "How else can we help in the next 100 days."

I agree that whilst we should give them a lil more time to grow and mature, this infant of a coalition, certain things have nothing to do with how long or short they've been in office. The appointment of councilors, for example. That is about fulfilling promises that the ppl really bought and voted them for. The last-min replacement of a NGO rep with a politician, and even more absurd the claim that this one councilor of MPAJ is a member of a NGO who has never even heard of him! Ppl do realise the time that is needed by a new ruling body to affect changes, but ppl are equally aware of the claim by the PR to topple the federal gov this Sept..and it's because of that, the scrutiny is tighten. If you cannot be seen to step into the shoes of running a few states efficiently, transparently and fairly, as u promised, what more the whole country?

the scrutiny, to a certain extend, is justified. ppl are watching how these few PR states are being run very carefully, and it is through this that we gauge whether they are ready to run the country. after all, they did make those promises, and now that the effort to challenge the gov is being stepped up, so ppl are gonna be anxious about wanting the PR to perform. that is justified.

john, trying clearing the cache memory....
Hey Shanghai, you are right, but I am seeing too much of UMNOism in the PKR guys who are running the state!
In all honesty, I think that they should focus on the task at hand, their electionmanifesto...and the bloody councillors should not have political involvement, period!
Can;t wait for next Saturday, will give them a piece of my mind....

People voted for change, yes. But as Malaysians, they are a VERY impatient bunch. The expect it to happen what, overnight? After 100 days? 5 years? If they're not getting what they want, they always demand a money-back guarantee.

But as how critical the Rakyat were when it comes to BN's faults, PR also have to prepare themselves to KENA by them for PR's faults. And the forgiving streak of the Rakyat, although prevalent through times, I doubt they will be so forgiving with PR because accept it, we are the comfortable products of BN's governance all this while.
