Open Letter To Prof Andrew Aeria

Allow me to give my humble opinion on this issue of JLT which has caused a bit of a stir in our community. I am doing this because I know both  JJM and Mong and the people deserve to hear a balanced view on the issue instead of just taking Prof's view as the universal truth.

What we do not want is for people to unfairly misconstrued them as heartless politicians who had blatantly betrayed his people.  Take it from me they are not. Definitely nothing against OKU or those supporting the opposition. They know what is right and just within the helm of politics and they are very passionate in helping the people.

Obviously Prof had been misinformed or wilfully ignored the facts behind the real story. I won't want to dwell on the definitions of democracy or democratic rights but suffice for me to say that arguing from that perspectives is irrelevant in the context of Frusis's case.

The reason being that based on findings by the Welfare Department, he was deemed to be no longer eligible for the assistance. His income had exceeded the minimum criteria and thus rightfully withdrawn. He was informed by the department on the matter way before Dtk Mong wrote the letter.

Remember the issue here is on the withdrawal of the Welfare allowances and not so much on JLT which the opposition had spin to gain political mileage. The withdrawal would have been done with or without Mong's letter anyway.
 
He brought the matter to DAP sorely for political reason. To me it's defiant of the government on social welfare policies and subsidies.

That said, is it fair to label JJM and Mong as having violated International laws on Human Rights? I mean when the withdrawal is justified. Never mind the fact that the withdrawal was not because of Mong's letter.

You said 'it is dangerous thinking'. Honestly, do you really think that they were that cruel and stupid not to know what they were doing? Do not generalize the meaning of JLT.  It's just a local saying and  peculiar only to this case.

Of course Pakatan would spin the issue to their favour. They hid the truth and expecting the people to be fooled easily. They even sensationalized the issues by having the forum to get cheap publicity.

Well, what else can they do?

Please read the following link on Frusis to get a clearer picture on the issues. And Prof please reflect on what you have said thereafter.

Now who's cruel? Opposition who lied and confused the people or JJM and Mong who are concerned for the deserving poor and OKU?
