Pada pagi semalam (23/01/09) Exco Kerajaan Negeri telahpun membuat pengumuman senarai nama Ahli-Ahli Majlis bagi tahun 2009.
Saya berasa amat gembira atas perlantikkan saya sebagai Ahli Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh. Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk berterima kasih kepada YB M.Kulasegaran, Ahli Parlimen Ipoh Barat yang mencalonkan nama saya sebagai penganti beliau.
Pada pengetahuan saya, didalam arena politik tidak ada mana-mana individu akan memberikan peluang ataupun mencalonkan pengantinya bagi mengisi jawatan yang disandang oleh mereka. Tetapi bagi YB M.Kulasegaran, beliau mempunyai ideologi politik yang berlainan dimana beliau akan mencalonkan mana-mana individu jika mempunyai daya ketrampilan yang hebat untuk berkhidmat kepada rakyat.
Saya sekali lagi berterima kasih dan rasa bangga untuk menjadi Setiausaha Politik kepada YB M.Kulasegaran. Pada masa yang sama, saya juga ingin berterima kasih kepada YB.Sdr Nga Kor Meng yang memberikan mandat kepada saya untuk menjawat jawatan Ahli Majlis Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh serta Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Perak.

Gua Tokong Cina Runtuh
Semalam sejurus selepas terima panggilan daripada rakan, saya terus pergi ke tempat kejadian untuk meneilit sendiri keadaannya. Saya sendiri pernah, mendaki ke paras yang tinggi di tokong cina tersebut beberapa kali. Tetapi apa yang berlaku semalam sememangnya menakutkan ramai orang dikawasan sekitarnya.
Selepas YAB Menteri Besar Perak sampai ke kawasan kejadian, saya dan YB Thomas telah membawa beliau ke dalam kuil Cina tersebut yang terletak didalam gunung. Selepas 40 minit iaitu pada jam pukul 06.50 petang, mangsa ke 18 yang cedera parah telahpun berjaya dibawa turun oleh pihak bomba.

March 8, has not changed many things or any things
Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.
Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among racial or religious groups.
The Malaysian Education Ministry should recognize the rights of everyone to education. Education shall enable all persons to participate effectively in a free society, promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among other races and this respect the higher education shall be made equally accessible to all without looking at the skin colour.
The recent intake in UPSI (University Perguruan Sultan Idris, Tg.Malim) has shown that the Education Ministry still having and practising the discrimination policies silently and technically against the minority Indians in this country. For a fact, in July 2008 intake, only 45 Indians been selected or given opportunity to continue their higher education out of 1800 applicants. The situation even get worsen in January 2009 intake, whereby only 3 Indians been selected out of 585 applicants.
Why there is a discrimination policy in education sector? We must urge the government to eliminate discrimination against Indians in order to ensure to them equal rights with other races in the field of education. At the same time, the Ministry should ensure, on a basis of equality of Bumi’s and Non-Bumi’s and also the same conditions for career and vocational guidance, for access to studies in educational establishments of all categories without looking at the racial groups; this equality shall be ensured in preschool, general, technical, professional and higher technical education, as well as in all types of vocational training.
Access to the same curricula, the same conditions need to be implemented in teaching staff; The elimination of any stereotyped concept of the roles of Bumi’s and Non Bumis’ at all levels and in all forms of education; the same opportunities to benefit from scholarships; The same opportunities for access to programmes of continuing education.
The Ministry also must undertake to prohibit and to eliminate racial discrimination, and to guarantee the right of everyone, without distinction as to race, colour, or national or ethnic origin, to equality before the law, in the enjoyment of the right to education and training.
Further more, we want the Education Ministry to make an open static’s report on Recent Intake in all the Govt Universities for public viewing based on racial break down to ensure there is no bias to one particular race in any Higher Education.

Loss job nightmare continues
The all-important & responsible Malaysian government yet to release the December 2008 Job Report and I’m very sure the news not going to make good taste for many of us.
I’ve have been receiving many call’s from my friends and relations saying employers trimmed their working hours since month of October 2008. As a responsible government, are there closely watching the report of continued weakness in the labor market?
Frankly, I can hardly wait to hear how this brain headed Malaysian Government Admin tries to spin the grim employment news. So far they’ve tried to blame everything since March 08, but no remedial action plan been drafted for implementation.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
Happy New Year!
Where in the world did this year go
It seems it passed so fast
But here we are...2009
And 2008 is in the past!
A Toast May peace and love fill the earth
May past sorrows fade away
May the New Year bring joy to all
On each and every day
Happy New Year to everyone
I hope your dreams come true
A heart that's filled with happiness
Is the wish I wish for you!
-P.Sugumaran
