Unbelievable!

I was reading the Star today, when I came across this:

School blocks invitation to non-Barisan elected rep

WHILST we the rakyat amuse ourselves over the post-election mud slinging and airing of dirty linen in public by the political parties, here’s something else to ponder over.

We are a PTA of a national-type school and being neighbourly and courteous, we decided to invite our newly-elected member of parliament for the Segambut constituency for a function.

Being politically polite, we sought the blessings of the principal of the school. We were told point-blank that because the MP was not of Barisan lineage, neither the school nor the PTA were to even think of such a thing.

Shouldn’t schools be apolitical where the soul of democracy is being taught to the future generation? The amusement continues. What say you?

URBAN MALAYSIAN VOTER,
Kuala Lumpur.

I am really speechless. Talk about Democracy!
