Don't mess with our children's minds and future, Fadhlina! By Mariam Mokhtar

Fat Fadhlina

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Why blame Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek for her folly and her emotional outburst? She is as much a victim of the political machinations of one man, just as we are a victim of his policies.

More’s the pity because Fadhlina probably does not realise that she is being used and manipulated to further Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s political agenda.

If anyone is to be blamed for this “Palestine Solidary Week” debacle, then it is Anwar who should be made accountable. Something as divisive and complex as this “event”, would have required his endorsement, and not without good reason, for here’s the crux of the matter.

Whilst we were busy trading barbs with one another about our schools being dragged into the Palestinian-Hamas-Israeli conflict, critical domestic issues were being sidelined and not addressed.

Kilimanjaro : It is not just Fadhlina, but those from PKR that will face problem in retaining their seats. Fadhlina will be in an unenviable situation because she stood in a NM majority constituency - Nibong Tebal.

Some have told that they will be campaigning there to ensure her loss if she still stands there. Anwar may not be so lucky the next time in Tambun. I was told that if Khairy stands again in Sungei Buloh, he may have a better chance flooring Ramanan the next election.
