Where Is The Selangor MB Debacle Leading Us To?

The Selangor MB debacle is getting beyond farcical.

What should have been a simple matter of appointing an MB has become a protracted struggle involving apologies and references to remote control.

In the midst of all this most uncomfortable and untenable situation, the constitution and the law have become a dim memory. One that everybody seems to be forgetting. Or ignoring.

Except for the few who do speak up fearlessly in their defence, some at their own personal expense of being hauled up for allegedly committing sedition.

The whole episode started with the inexplicable obstinacy of one man who strove to cling on to the post at all costs.

And others whose idea of being a good coalition player is to stab their partners.

Add (natural?) greed for power and position and manna and an almost pathological fear and prejudice of the fairer sex becoming a leader, and we have a portent brew that threatens to unravel any semblance of a return to reason and prudence.

And an (early) end to the fiasco.

Top it off, with powerful vested interests competing for spoils, Selangor folks are truly being played out and shortchanged.

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
