Pay or be evicted says Pakatan right?

A local daily reported how the Penang Zakat Manage­­­­ment Centre has stepped in to save three single mothers living under one roof from being evicted...by the Penang Municipal Council for RM456 rental areas.

And we know the Penang Municipal Council is under the DAP ala Pakatan controlled government.

The Pakatan supporters will surely deny they are being cruel and inhuman and will blame the MSMedia for reporting falsity.

Their argument is probably the response of the assembly fellow who was reported ...Sungai Pinang assemblyman Koid Teng Guan said he only gave reminders to the family to pay their outstanding rental payments to avoid being evicted...

Pure political bullshit speak from Pakatan. This fellow have been known to be inflicted by MCD, mad cow disease as he seem to shoot himself in the mouth, feet and head for saying some of the most ridiculous things in the past. This latest even surpass the current cowdominum BS! So if they can't pay even if you gave the reminders it would mean THEY WILL BE EVICTED, right!!!

One isn't sure the rational thinking behind their so called reminders! Being a single parent having to really make ends meet, the sympathy goes to the single mothers. We may not know the truth whether these single mums are filthy rich staying together or they really can't afford to pay for the rental.

It would be interesting to see how the Pakatan fellows will try and worm themselves out of this inhuman and shameful act.

Of course, there are many opportunists who will say that many are abusing the low cost homes to them. Agreed there are many who are abusing such a privilege but who has the political will to enforce the law to say the least? Who are those mostly living in such homes not by choice but simply they can't afford to buy their own home!

Which brings to the question of those who are willing to die and put others behind bars to defend the rights of certain groups to privileges and rights like discount for buying homes. How in the world did this happen that buying a home is subject to such apartheid policy?

Anyway, even if this group have a discount, they can't even afford to buy a home or pay for rental. So what are those defenders of rights and privileges all trying to champion? Preserve that right to those who can afford to buy million ringgit homes?

Those who need assistance should be given sympathy and empathy than defend oneself with the LAW to justify evicting people and what have you. It doesn't matter who is helping the single mum. Even if the action has an agenda or not, help was given. When one is in dire straits are we going to be like what happen to cases we hear with regard to medical insurance when the emergency unit arrives on an accident scene, they first ask if you have insurance before they decide the kind of aid or the hospital they will send you to huh?

So while we hear of Pakatan's grandiose dream to march to Putrajaya and bring about social change, if the genuine small things that matter to the small people are being neglected, will the majority ordinary small people believe they are the better alternative government.

The test of a government is not to blame others but how to resolve simple real ordinary problems. The big things are solved by issuing policy papers and coming up with grand NKRAs or KPIs. These means nothing to the single mums who are struggling to cope.

Anyway, it would do well for the religious department to investigate too if these single mums have surviving other half and if so whether they are supporting the single mum and the kids.

Kudos to the Zakat people for helping the single mums out of love, religious commitment or political agenda is secondary when situations demand we do the right thing at the right time.
