民联争官致雪行政议会难产 叶炳汉：行动党也为当官吵 Pakatan leaders fighting each other over spots in the Selangor state exco

(吉隆坡22日讯) 马华雪兰莪州联委会宣传局主任拿督叶炳汉批评雪州民联三党为了争权争官位而僵持不下，到今天仍然无法确定行政议员的名单阵容，是反映三党之间的内部的矛盾无法解决下导致。

他今日发表文告，讥讽民联三党口口声声说自己会做的国阵好，同时强调不分种族照顾全民，可是现在三党却为了争夺雪州行政议员的官位，导致雪州行政团队拖延到今天都还不能确定并公布。

“既然民联三党都是称不分种族的全民领袖，尤其是行动党在选举时极尽所能的颂扬伊斯兰党，那么伊斯兰党应该也可以很照顾华裔及其他非回教徒，同时也会公平对待其他宗教，那么行动党又何必担心华裔行政议员的配额？为何还要在意自己的行政议员人数比伊斯兰党少？”

他也抨击民主行动党斩钉截铁的说该党不像国阵成员党，执政只为了官位，然而这次在雪州政府分配州行政议员所闹出的风波，行动党还不是为了官位和公正党及伊斯兰党闹意见，到最后还不是屈服在二位老大之下？

叶炳汉说，如果民联真的是照顾全民，可是本身却未能做到争权夺位，也无法摒除种族的包袱，岂不是在自打嘴巴，又如何宣称改朝换代？

他挑战行动党把该党在雪州与伊斯兰党所赢得的席位一样多的本钱，向州务大臣施压，若不多给行动党多一个行政议员的席位，将退出民联。

The naming of Pakatan elected representatives for the Selangor Exco is still at a deadlock as parties in the Pakatan pact slug it out. Two weeks since the 13^th general election concluded, yet Pakatan is still unable to come up with a list of exco members for Selangor. This indicates that the internal feuds within the Pakatan tripartite cannot be resolved.

The three Pakatan allies keep saying that they can perform better than Barisan Nasional, and that they look after the welfare of all Malaysians irrespective of race. But now, the three Pakatan parties competing for posts in the Selangor Exco has resulted with delays whereby the office bearers still cannot be determined. 

Since Pakatan claims that they safeguard the rakyat regardless of ethnicity, and especially during the recently concluded general elections where DAP had vouched for PAS, asserting that the hardline party takes care of all races including the Chinese and non-Muslims and accords fair treatment to all religions, then why should DAP worry about party quotas based on ethnic lines for the Exco lineup? Why should DAP care if there are fewer number of DAP Excos?

DAP should be criticized for claiming that it, unlike BN component parties, is not fighting over official positions. However, now when the Selangor Menteri Besar tweeted that DAP’s allocation for Exco posts will be reduced by one seat, DAP big wigs have kicked up a storm. If DAP is not chasing after official positions, then why does it not yield to either PAS and PKR having an extra Exco post from previously?

If Pakatan really was concerned over consensus but still failed to reach an agreement on Exco posts, this shows that they cannot put aside the ethnicity factor when allocating Exco positions. Is this scenario not self-contradictory? Thus how can Pakatan claim there has been “ubah” in administration of the state?

I challenge DAP and PAS in Selangor which won more seats than PKR to put pressure on the Menteri Besar to allocate more seats for them, failing which, DAP should withdraw from Pakatan.
