Of "Tenang"ly waiting since 25 years...

Another day, another fossilised wish unearthed in N5 Tenang, Johor...

First, let's be clear that Tenang has been BN's fixed assets since 1957 and Tenang is also a state seat under Labis parliamentary seat which is currently held by Chua Jr, the son of Chua Kin Sheng. Chua Kin Sheng? Yes, Chua Kin Sheng is more famously known as Chua SL, the main DVD actor whose DVD hit platinum in underground market. The same Chua who is the current MCA President and the same guy who fathered Chua Tee Yong and guided his junior to take his place as Labis MP. For Chua SL @ Chua KS, all is well and there is no elements of nepotism involved here...

Back to our posting, let's go back to fossilised wish and promise made to our 1M Chinese brothers of Tenang. Back in 1986, the government (read : BN) promised to reopen a Chinese independent school in Segamat within 3 months. 25 years later, whilst celebrating the promise "silver jubilee", Johor Hua Zong (Federation of Chinese Associations) Chairperson raised up the issue again, this time during the 100-table dinner in conjunction with Tenang by-election, with Ghani Othman and Liow Tiong Lai's attendance!

Imagine that, 25 years of unfufilled promise by BN! Bear in mind that Najib 1MPM6 was once the Minister of Education and so is Johoreans Hishamuddein and now Muhyiddein. At least 2 Johoreans Minister of education since 1986 and BN still failed to fulfill their promise! And they coined the term 1Malaysia?

Chua Soi Lek, the father and former Labis MP as well as current MCA President failed to pursue this 25-year promise. Maybe this time around, with N5 Tenang by-election on the line, BN can finally officiate "ribbon cutting" ceremony for a Chinese independent school in Segamat and in the process get it recognised in Malaysia books of records for longest 25-years unfulfilled promise (by BN). Or will BN turn around and claim that this is another fabricated story by the opposition? Or will BN be walking with their tails between their legs, with regards to this issue?

How long can Johor Hua Zhong stomach this unfilled promise? How much longer can 14,753 voters be "tenang"ly waiting for undeliverables from BN? Mind you that if BN can do that for 25 years, what stops them for carrying on for another 25 years? Let's give PAS a helping hand and force the cards on BN to deliver their promises. BN has been complacent for far too long to the extent that nothings seems to jolt them up anymore. Let's all do our part and give Johor Hua Zhong their independent Chinese school in Segamat...

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
