PSM continues to demonstrate the right stuff By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy

COMMENT | Recent events in Tambun, Perak have briefly shined a spotlight (again) on the work PSM does for disenfranchised Malaysians all over the country.

I never get cynical or depressed when writing about PSM because, in a country where the progressive forces have capitulated to the racial and religious agendas of the mainstream political establishment, PSM continues its lonely struggle.

RimauTongkatAli : Mr Madani is showing his true colors - he is the ultra Malay and Muslim, even more extreme than PAS/PN. He has completely ignore the grass root supporters with his policies and actions. He’s the Tambun MP not Hamas MP, elected by Tambun voters to serve them.

Mr Madani is only interested in travelling to Middle East and shoring up support for Hamas. He could care less about the NM/liberal Malays. I will never ever vote for PH again - it’s PSM or MUDA. DAP has become the lapdog to Mr Madani and they will suffer the same fate as MCA and Gerakan.

Proarte : All the Pakatan Harapan supporters should now realise that “Reformasi” was a mere ruse to gain political power or as a cover for personal wrongs. Politics on both sides of the divide is about personal gain and power. The Rakyat’s aspiration for change and for good governance is merely a vehicle which these politicians to gain power.

Once they achieve power, the Rakyat and their aspirations will be betrayed. The farmers of Tambun are not rich but they have eked out an honest living through hard work and provided us with home grown vegetables for our daily sustenance for over 60 years. They were promised that their farm lands would be secure if Pakatan Harapan came to power and even more shockingly the MP for Tambun is none other than PMX Anwar Ibrahim, the erstwhile “Reformasi” icon.

“Reformasi” has been abandoned for the deliberately nebulous and confusing “Madani”. Actually, this turn out to be more honest as expectations for reforms will no longer be so focused. How is Anwar Ibrahim going to have any influence over the war in Gaza by his emotionally charged rallies and jet setting in solidarity with Hamas and the Palestinian people who are fighting a Jihad against “Zionist” Israel, if he cannot even solve a simple issue involving non-Muslim Chinese farmers who are providing us with food security?

Sadly, in his quest for the elusive Malay Muslim vote who have abandoned him in preference for PAS and Bersatu, Anwar has adopted a right wing Malay/Muslim agenda after the elections, and as such, the plight of the Chinese farmers is going to be collateral sacrifice in line with this agenda. To put it simplistically, the Chinese non-Muslims and “Marxist” PSM, cannot be seen to be winning over the Malay/Muslim local government and their business associates who have other money making plans for the land.

Fake Liberals : "How is Anwar Ibrahim going to have any influence over the war in Gaza by his emotionally charged rallies and jet setting in solidarity with Hamas and the Palestinian people who are fighting a Jihad against “Zionist” Israel, if he cannot even solve a simple issue involving non-Muslim Chinese farmers who are providing us with food security" Yes, the usual can't take of your own backyard but meddling into useless affairs syndrome
