Rage in Tenang

Cikgu Mala, PAS Candidate for Tenang, Johore and her husband, wading through it all - flood waters and controversies.

Two things are on the boil in Tenang on my myopic view.

We saw how the State Education Director of Johore was swooning over the Department's staff and you have to be smart enough to have to figure out that won't spill down to teachers in the schools.

Then word was out, that Cikgu Mala's husband, a teacher, was very visual on the campaign trail. Wouldn't you if your wife was fighting for her life at the polls? Well, then Muhyiddin was fuming when the news wound its way to him that Cikgu Mala's hubby was playing truant: pretending to be sick and not in the classroom but seen with the candidate his wife, Cikgu Mala.

To put it simply. The Minister of Education, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister, also from Johore the state Tenang is in, dismissed the incident of the State Director of Education campaigning on government time and resources. That's small matter. What is serious is the husband is supposedly abusing his position as the PAS candidate's wife spouse and being a teacher. That's sacreligious. Doesn't matter if University students cannot get invloved in politics!

How to read Muhyiddin's lips? Did he say yes or no? Did he mean it's free for all?

Last week, he came back from Washington, prided himself on being told by Clinton that Malaysia as country has fantastic characteristics, the full length and breadth. You name it, we have them all. I guess that means warts and all!

If you don't know it already, Muhyiddin is from Johore where Tenang is not so calm, now!

So it's a free for all in Tenang, as far as Education Department, Staff and Teachers. That includes, Cikgu Mala's husband.

I would be there, too, were she my wife. Look at the flood waters.

# Isn't it time, the Police WORK for the Rakyat? Since donkey years, the Rakyat have been working for the Police and paying them salaries. Then there's the commission for those canopies!
