It looks like MB Selangor, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, and his Pakatan Rakyat friends are more interested to get political capital from the water restructuring exercise that paying full attention to the matter at hand which is to hammer out a deal with the water concession companies.
I really do not see the point of holding a protest march to the Istana Negara just to hand over a Memo to DYMM Yang DiPertuan Agong on a matter that both the Selangor and the Federal Government have agreed to be handled by a Joint Committee to find ways as well as means to effect the restructuring exercise.
The committee is still existing so let it carry on. There is no need to involve the Palace at all. This is pure politics and nothing else!
On the other hand, Tan Sri Khalid made a statement today to tell the world that I had agreed to let Selangor buy over the water companies in a letter that I had written to him.
He timed this statement a day after handing over the protest memorandum to the Istana Official.
To me the Menteri Besar was trying to take advantage of what I had written to him two or three weeks ago in reply to a letter from him.
Perhaps he wanted to show that I had capitulate to the protest march last Sunday and by connotation bow to the pressure so exerted.
I am of the view all along that we must resolve the water issue calmly and not politicise the same to suit one’s political agenda.
I urge the MB to go on with the restructuring plans of his as time is the essense of the matter. - Blog Peter Chin
