is PAKATAN walking their talk ?

I am surprised to read that a certain Selangor Exco Member from Pakatan Rakyat had allowed his/her State Exco office to be used as a regular meeting place by businessmen known to be connected with underground activities.In the name of accountability and transparency as advocated by Pakatan, I called upon YB Azmin Ali and YB Wee Choo Keong to provide the details and identity of the Exco concerned in order these blatantly unhealthy practices and support by a Senior Pakatan Government Exco Member be taken to task and stopped immediately.

This is the first known case of an Exco Member openly and unabashly supporting ''underground business activities'' by allowing his/her office as a meeting place after more than 50 years of independence. It is very shocking that this happened in the Pakatan Government within a year of assuming power as the Selangor Pakatan Government.

I further supported Wee's call that YB Teresa Kok from DAP whom had been swift and loud to scandalized any perceived wrongdoing of BN leaders, is calling for actions against the whistle blower Azmin Ali instead of calling for immediate actions or investigations on the allegation coming from a Senior Pakatan component party leader.

Theresa Kok should be consistent with DAP's regular demand for a high standard of transparency and accountability by calling for actions and discipline against the perpetrator or wrondoer instead of attempting to cover up the matter and disallowing freedom of expression by a fellow elected representative in the State Assembly forum. This is indeed shocking and against the spirit of democracy and a civil society.

DAP's Teresa Kok's outburst and intolerance of component parties criticism smack of arrogance prevalent to PAKATAN leaders particularly in PAS and DAP.

It is very obvious that PAS and DAP had set a very high moral for others in particular Barisan Nasional leaders but they have a different set of morals and values for PAKATAN leaders. This double standard and insincerity of not walking their talk practiced by PAKATAN is very dangerous and contrary to demand and mood of the people now.
