PKR's Problem Becomes Selangor's Problem

Curly, Larry & Moe

Kajang assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh resigned with immediate effect without any good reason, and the seat is now vacant. A by-election will be held within 60 days to elect a new assemblyman. Frankly, I have no idea who this chap is. I think it's the Malaysian culture, especially in the private sector, where employees like to resign without notice, or worse, just stop showing up for work the day after they received their paycheck.

In this particular case, it is bit different because it concerns an elected people's representative. If these politicians take your vote and the system so flippantly, why do you even bother to go out and vote, in rain or shine, standing in line for hours, and go home with a bloody stained finger?

Rumour has it that whomever PR fields to contest that seat will be the new Mentri Besar. 

Due to the overwhelming adoration of their fans, these PKR fellas think that they can use the people, again, so that they can settle their internal problems. I repeat, INTERNAL PROBLEMS. They think that their coming party elections is more important than the state government. Do they think that the state government is their property? I think they really do. In case you forget, they've just rewarded themselves with a huge salary increment this year.

Actually, after the previous Lee Khai Loon kangkung fiasco (also from PKR), I not the least surprised at how low these people can go.

And some people insists on letting them run a country. I have a better suggestion. Just get rid of the 3 of them. Problem solved.

Anyway, it really makes little difference now. The outcome will not matter to the Selangor people. It's just politicians doing what they do best, fighting for power & glory. Just enjoy the show. That's what you voted them for isn't it? This is what happens when you hand them a blank cheque.

Who knows, maybe you will be treated to one of these fun carnival-like ceramahs. Don't forget to make a donation afterwards.

Ini kali Lah!

Kajang rep Lee Chin Cheh resigns

Lee Chin Cheh the Kajang assemblyman who opted for early retirement to enjoy his pension, waving sayonara to the Kajang sheeple. "Kajang people! You all come out to vote ah... Ubah ah... Reformasi ah... whatever la... hahahahahaha... losers."

PETALING JAYA: Kajang assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh has resigned from the Selangor Legislative Assembly Monday.

Selangor State Speaker Hannah Yeoh made the announcement at a press conference at 5pm.

With Lee's resignation, Yeoh officially declared the N25 Kajang seat vacant.

According to Article 70 (5) of the Selangor State Constitution, a vacant seat should be filled within 60 days.

Yeoh said that she would hand a letter to the Election Commission on Tuesday.

When asked the reasons behind his resignation, Yeoh told reporters to ask him personally.

"He came in personally to see me and handed in his resignation letter. I'm surprised because he had contributed a lot to the Selangor state assembly," she said.

Yeoh refused to comment when asked if Lee's resignation was related to the spat between current Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and Azmin Ali.

"It is premature to speculate things. As of now, the seat is vacant.

"N25 is a PKR seat and will be contested by a PKR member," she said.

The resignation of Lee, better known as CC Lee in PKR, is believed to be connected to mounting speculation that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is being lined up to replace Khalid as Selangor Mentri Besar.

Anwar needs to be part of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly in order to take over the top job.

Lee secured 19,571 votes, winning the Kajang seat with a 6,824-vote majority in a six-cornered fight against candidates from the Barisan Nasional, Berjasa and three Independents.
