More Important Issue? 更重要的事情？

Finished my task in Kedah which last for 10days. I did not read local news for these days, so once I was back, I read back the news published few days ago.

The ruling party and opposition party debate again. This time, is between assistant of Menteri Besar Johor and personal assistant of state assembly member. MB assistant criticize that the personal assistant of state assembly member know only instructing other to work for the public. However, the personal assistant challenge the MB assistant to solve the problem broken road within the area in two weeks.

In this case, obviously, the personal assitant of  state assembly member is in disadvantage. State assembly member is selected by the public, he should be one who solve the people problem and difficulties. Passing the problem to another people and think that the problem is solved, is not a smart solution.

After 308 political tsunami, many opposition leaders become ruling party in some state. Although opposition party in Johor still do not able to overtake the power of BN, but the elected state assembly member should take the responsiblity to help others. As a state assembly member, if he does not able to solve the people difficulties,  but instructing a non-elected official to manage the problem, made the public dissapointed with their choices, and at the same time, showing his own weakness.  This do not accord with the goal of opposition party (Pakatan Rakyat) which to help the people, but made public feel that their choice was wrong instead. 

People livelihood problem, is the most important stuff. Ignore the public welfare, showing that the state assembly member do not take up his responsibility. The personal assistant said these small problem can be solve by the MB assistant without the involvement of his "boss". His "boss" can bring the more important issue into state assembly. What issue come before the public welfare? Solve the conflict within the parties? Debating on Islamic country issue? Or looking for take over the ruling party and become government? 

In year 2009, no matter how the world change, I would like to greet everyone Happy New Year.

从吉打任务完成归来，数日未阅读地方新闻，翌日则“补”阅数日地方新闻。

 昨日与今日报章，州内朝野政党再次争锋相对。此役为州务大臣特别事务官对垒反对党州议员特别助理。特别事务官抨州议员特别助理只会指示他人办事，州议员特别助理反期限特别事务官解决道路破烂问题。

 在这个课题上，很显然的，州议员特别助理处于下风。州议员为民选代议士，理应为选区内人民解决问题。将问题转交至其他人身上，即认为解决了问题，是为阿Q的一种精神。

308大选让许多地区反对党人士一夜之间成为了执政党。虽然在柔佛州，反对党势力仍然无法超越国阵，但是民选反对党议员应该负起责任，解决区内的问题。身为州议员，无法解决问题，反而要期限非民选官员解决问题，不但曝露了本身无能的弱点，也辜负了所有选民的期望。这点完全无法符合反对党要全力协助人民的理念，进而让选民感受到当初的选择，是种错误。

民生问题，就是最根本，最重要的事情。忽略民生问题，就等于不尽其责。然而该位州议员特别助理表示，这些只是一些基本的小事，无需劳烦州议员来处理，由州务大臣特别事务官处理即可，州议员有更重要的事情可以带进州议会。试问，何谓更重要的事情？理清党内纠纷，争论回教课题，探讨如何夺取政权比处理民生问题来的更加重要吗？

2009年了，不管世界会变得怎样，先预祝各位新年快乐！
