Late Zakaria is no longer here and may he rest in peace. However, it seems today that late Zakaria is only a small figure while Khir is comparatively much worse. Even his mansion is much more magnificent and gorgeous than Zakaria’s house; if Khir’s mansion were Taj Mahal, then Zakaria’s house would be only a chieftain’s house.

Khir has lost the Selangor state regime but he is still the opposition leader of the state assembly, as well as a leader of Selangor BN. With his ability to do whatever he wants, I sometimes even thought that he is still the state MB. Perhaps, he has built an underground kingdom in Selangor.

Let’s review the record after he became the opposition leader. From the pig farming issue, to Seputeh MP Teresa Kok’s arrest, Bukit Lanjan MP Elizabeth Wong ‘s nude photos, Selangor MB Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim’s cows and car, DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock’s death and the ban on selling alcohol in Selangor, his stand and the way he sensationalized the issues.

If BN is back to power, it means that most likely Khir will again be the Selangor MB. Selangor people may face difficulty to sleep at night.

2. Reshuffle the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) – they do not pay attention to the elephant before their eyes. Instead, they are looking for small ants everywhere with a magnifying glass. This is the doubt of Selangor people over the commission.

Can’t they see Khir’s mansion that was built on a 50,000 square feet land? Why are they spending time and manpower on old papers just to search for a few lines of words that are related to a few thousands ringgit?

3. To grant land title – make a commitment that as long as BN is ruling the state, they will grant permanent land titles to Chinese new villages, Malay restrutured villages, Indian traditional village, as well as agricultural lands, allowing the state people to be free from worrying about residential and living problems.

4. Funding Chinese independence secondary schools – the four Chinese independence secondary schools in Selangor suffer millions ringgit of deficit annually. As long as the BN government announces that they are going to allocate each Chinese independent secondary school a million ringgit, it will certainly be very well accepted by the people.

5. To build more primary schools – as long as more than a thousand families of a particular racial group are living within the Selangor territory, they will plan a strategic location to build a primary school, regardless whether it is a national, Chinese or Tamil school, based on the residents’ need.

6. Pay respect to democracy and public opinion – BN has to promise not to use non-democratic means, including party switching, to gain the state regime. BN has to promise that they will gain the state regime only through an election and the result of votes in order to convince and reassure the people.

BN may retrieve the Selangor state regime if they accept the six above mentioned recommendations. (By TAY TIAN YAN/ Translated by SOONG PHUI JEE/ Sin Chew Daily)
