I wasn’t aware of this controversy until today.
Dr. Khir Toyo was the previous Chief Minister of Selangor until the state fell to the Opposition party after the elections.
Apparently, in the drama that followed, Balkis, an association set up by the wives of the state exco set about to dissolve the association and purported to transfer RM9m to Bakti, the association set up for the wives of the Federal Ministers.
Dr. Khir’s wife said that it was so that the money would not fall into the hands of the opposition party because it was meant for orphans and the underprivileged.
If you ask me, I say it makes no sense whatsoever.
I don’t know what these BN people think but the Opposition party is hardly a monster devouring all the money in their way. In fact, I’d say that describes the BN to a T. They see money and they have to find ways to spend it or take it for themselves.
In any event, I do not see why the association must be disbanded. If it is to consist of the wives of the MB and the Exco then it should continue whoever the party in power is.
I don’t know if this is corruption or if its just yet another example of sour grapes. But if you ask me, I’m absolutely SICK of all this drama with the BN and Opposition parties. Lets all move on already!
Other countries can do it, why can’t we?!
