Deputy Speaker Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar has described some of our YBs as “superficial” who are only interested in attending non-beneficial functions and issuing statements just to have their faces appear in newspapers.
“When I read newspapers, I found news of such YBs attending opening of restaurants, boutiques and other commercial functions such as cutting ribbons and having dinners.
“When internal conflicts happened, such YBs even asked their supporters to hold press conferences in coffee shops to pledge support and confidence.
“These YBs would bring the same supporters to their numerous functions to highlight and promote themselves,” said the MP for Santubong.
He said: “When giving aid, these YBs would give the impression it was because of their sole effort that the community received their donations. I find this to be very superficial.”
Wan Junaidi said that such antics were not good for the Barisan Nasional especially the government which was trying to win back the people’s confidence.
He suggested that they must be replaced in the coming election.
Last year Wan Junaidi said that Sarawak MPs did not take part in debates in Parliament. They only sat down and listened to debates, while some were having coffee in Parliament.
He said that they did not raise issues affecting the people of Sarawak.
Meanwhile, the independent state assemblyman for Engkilili Johnichal Rayong about weeks ago described pensioners, members of the public and others who talked in coffee shops criticising the government as “Panglima kedai kopi”.
They were really “Panglima kedai kopi” who knew how to talk and criticise YBs and the government.
But one pensioner hit back at Rayong proclaiming him as “Panglima katak (frog)” who jumped from one party to another.
“How can we trust this type of YB who is interested only in his own personal interest and ego?” he said.
“Of course in Barisan, YBs can enjoy all the facilities, the reputation, the money and can even afford to have two or three wives and girl friends,” he said
“They are the real Panglima Katak and superficial YBs,” he added. - The Broken Shield
