| Looks like we will need to at least get a NEW Senator for Kedah soon - Chuah Kim Chuan term ends on 10/4/2008. Will the Opposition Government just follow how it was done during the time when Barisan National ruled - that is "let the State Legislative Assembly choose" or will the Opposition government - the Barisan Alternative allow the RAKYAT to choose their Senators... The Barisan Alternative may say that for the Senators to be "elected by the direct vote of the electors of that State", Parliament must past the law and now it is still a BN controlled Parliament and so we have to follow the old ways of doing things until the Barisan Alternative manages to win sufficient seats to form the Federal Government... But, I say "Yes, you may not be able to have 'elections' BUT there is nothing stopping you from having a "referendum" to get the feelings of the people as to who they would want to be a Senator of that State ---- and once the RAKYAT has indicated their choice --- then the names could go through the State Legislative Assembly and the "peoples' choice" could be selected by the the Assembly... The only question is whether you want to let the RAKYAT choose OR whether you want to do the choosing yourself (just like how the Barisan Nasional was doing...) The same thing can be done with regard to local council elections --- and do not say that you cannot do it until Parliament amends laws..... this is an unacceptable JUSTIFICATION --- I just went to the the Malaysian Parliment Website and look at the info on the members of the Senate --- and it is interesting that there is no information as to when Zaid Ibrahim became a Senator.... (http://www.parlimen.gov.my/DewNegara_KedAhli_detail.php?id=420) His name is listed....BUT --- see below If Zaid Ibrahim is yet to be appointed Senator - then he is NOT YET in Cabinet...at least not until the Yang Di Pertuan Agung appoints him (or did it already happen but the official Parlimen Malaysia website is slow in updating its information) |
