Tan Kai's comment against Stampin YB Julian Tan is just a publicity stunt

By Bernard Chin

SUPP has said it again. The recent statement from Tan Kai proves two points: He does not understand his party’s role in the ruling government and, secondly,  he thinks that the general public are ignorant with SUPP’s publicity stunts. 

For him to ask Julian Tan to bring development to Stampin, he should first ask himself which party is the ruling government and how much has the ruling government allocated its federal fund to Stampin constituency.  It just shows how oblivious he is towards the role of parliamentarian.

Let me clarify for him, as an opposition MP, Julian brings issues affecting his constituents and stand against any policies and legislations which is against the interest of the people. 

He scrutinises the actions of the government and government departments, he asks questions, debates and seeks to address any constituent’s concerns.  He speaks in support of, or in opposition to, a piece of legislation.

So back when the GST Bill was first tabled and later implemented, did SUPP at any point raise any objections to it. 

Tan Kai should ask himself was it not BN, which SUPP is part of, which supported  GST and collecting GST from the people, not opposition?

 BN, as the ruling government who holds the power to the legislative and executive power in the government, should not then he ask federal BN, his party, why was no allocation of funds for the development of Stampin constituency for the past five years?

Do not shift the blame to opposition when BN fails as the ruling government to bring development to Stampin constituency. 

Tan Kai is clearly ignorant or pretend to be ignorant in order to curry favour from his bosses while continuing the so-called SUPP publicity stunts by portraying they are championing the people’s interest when obviously they fail as the ruling government. 

people are more interested to know what is SUPP's role in BN and would be pleased if Tan Kai would kindly explain it to us. 

By the way,Tan Kai, if you are unaware, we at Pakatan Harapan have pledged  to abolish GST within the first 100 days in office. If you require further information please do not hesitate to contact us.  = September 19, 2017
