What else will you do now?</description>

		<description>The existense of PSCI itself is ridiculous because it wans&#039;t made to function at all. There is nothing in the Abdullah&#039;s govt that can be taken seriously at this juncture, let PSCI cease to exist and see Malaysia&#039;s TPI ranking slides further to oblivion.</description>

		<description>Like WFH said the PSCI is like a scarecrow. If YB Lim were to resign the PSCI might cease to exist. Then there would not be any scarecrow  for the crows to perch on, for us, not YB Lim, to take pot shots at.</description>

		<description>&quot;I am sorry I have to say again : if a Minister of BN government like Bernard Dompok would deem it fit, as a matter of integrity, to resign from the PSCI, how could the Leader of Opposition with an unblemished record of integrity of over 30 years of service to the nation stay?&quot; Jeffrey

Boycotting does not solve anything. You might as well call for a boycott of the general elections!</description>

		<description>As Opposition Head and MP of Ipoh Timur, YB Kit could still take potshots at the crows, as he has always done. Without a position in the PSCI, does it mean that he has a lesser or lost a valuable platform - a sham platform masquerading as effective to fight corruption - to do so? I don&#039;t think so. Obn the other side of the scale, they are using the Opposition Head being in the PSCI to give the impression that there is sincerity to promote integrity governance. Nazri has come out now to say in terms that all of you will have doubt about that sincerity. On top of that even a BN Minister (Dompok) has deemed it fit to resign in terms almost to say that the PSCI, so muzzled, strains credulity that it can ever do the job it is supposed to do. What additional potshot can Kit deliver from the platform of PSCI that he cannot do, without, except to lend credence and prestige to a muzzled committee that does not deserve this image?</description>

&quot;Lets put an end to this integrity sham and give it an appropriate burial! &quot;

Well that&#039;s what they want, for YB Kit to resign. Why make it so easy for Nazri? He&#039;s the one who should be buried!  Stay on, embarrass them. The ball is in their court.</description>

		<description>YB Lim, don&#039;t resign from the PSCI. The PSCI may be &quot;akin to a scarecrow in the padi field&quot;, according to WFH, but it is still useful because we can take pot shots at the crows that perched on its head. Soldier on YB Lim, just like what you are doing now in parliament.</description>

		<description>Let TSBD go and have his own peace. Thank you, YB LKS for your comments that make known to us about the real reason of setting this PSCI and what&#039;s fails it.
There are more things that Malaysian should be told , happening within our country that questionable or &#039;unfair&#039;.
Do assist us in these matters and let us decide and share our opinions from there. Thank you.</description>

		<description>Put in another way, Nazri as relevant Minister in charge of Parliamentary Affairs and on whose iniative, the PSCI was first formed has now come out explicitly to state what the parameters of inquiry of PSCI are. He says Bernard Dompok misconceives the parameters thinking they are wider; he says Bernard Dompok is influenced by you ie implying that you are the main misconceiver of the parameters. If the government does not relent to change the parameters to dignify the PSCI with more powers to do its proper function, what choice have you got? The situation has made your continuance in PSCI untenable because it would mean that you agree with Nazri&#039;s defined parameters of what the PSCI sould do or cannot do, something which his own BN cabinet colleaque could not agree and has resigned on that basis. Kit, given the situation, what elbow room have you got left? If Nazri does not retract those parameters, you would have little choice but to back Bernard on principle by giving them your resignation. Maybe some of the other committees may also resign. You&#039;d never know. Lets put an end to this integrity sham and give it an appropriate burial!</description>

		<description>This is an interesting bit Ã¢â‚¬â€œ page 2 of The Sun May 18th reported that according to Nazri, Bernard DompokÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s resignation was influenced by Lim Kit SiangÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s misconceived views that PSCI had Ã¢â‚¬Å“wide powers to investigate issues raised by the peopleÃ¢â‚¬Â. As such there Ã¢â‚¬Å“was a wide gapÃ¢â‚¬Â between Bernard Dompok and Ã¢â‚¬Å“other ministersÃ¢â‚¬Â understanding of the PSCIÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s work. 

Ã¢â‚¬Å“He said most ministers understood that the duty of the committee was to meet people, get feedback and formulate programmes on integrityÃ¢â‚¬Â.

He likened the PSCIÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s work to be akin to that of Select Committees on Penal and Criminal Procedure Codes and National Unity and National Service. According to him calling for ACA Director General Zulkipli Mat Noor to answer allegations of corruption was wrong. So was calling the NRD director-general &amp; top officers. In his words relating to the controversy of forged ICs in Sabah, Ã¢â‚¬Å“the matter should be channeled to the Ministry concerned. They (meaning Bernard, Kit and PSCI) want to get to the bottom of the matter but it is nothing to do with their responsibilityÃ¢â‚¬Â.

Asked to comment on NazriÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s statement that he was influenced by LKS, Bernard said, Ã¢â‚¬Å“it was a cheap shot. What else can I say?Ã¢â‚¬Â Ã¢â‚¬Å“We have different opinions all the time. This one, he chose to go publicÃ¢â‚¬Â. Bernard Dompok said Ã¢â‚¬Å“the duty of the committee was to ask questions to the relevant government departments on issues raised during the committee hearing held nationwide including in Sabah and SarawakÃ¢â‚¬Â.

I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know whether Nazri is trying to Ã¢â‚¬ËœbodekÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ you but he is certainly not saying nice things about Bernard. It is as if Bernard has no mind of his own as regards the issue of right or wrong.

How does one meet people, get feedback and formulate programmes on integrity as Nazri said when people like ex ACA Director General and present NRD Director in the center of the storm and who possess the information and whose views are likely to be significant are exempted from the fact gathering hearings?

Besides the Select Committees on Penal and Criminal Procedure Codes and National Unity and National Service are not PSCI because the issues pertaining to Ã¢â‚¬Å“IntegrityÃ¢â‚¬Â are different by nature from those of crime or national unity. More important, the people and their independence of mind in these committees are also different.

On the matter of ICs in Sabah for foreigners, what is the point of Ã¢â‚¬Å“channeling the questions to the Ministry concernedÃ¢â‚¬Â as if the Ministry people didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know? Does the head of Ministry of Home Affairs/ Internal Security (also the PM) answer these questions?

It looks like Nazri formed the PSCI to play a very limited role : He does not expect it to probe and get to the bottom of integrity issues. He expects it to just get feedback here and there to suggest programmes with the view of just doing the requisite amount of public relations for the Government to show that it is concerned with Integrity issues : in short, an appearance but not the substance of getting to the bottom of things to the embarrassment of the administration.

With a clear indication from the relevant Minister in charge of Parliamentary Affairs of what he conceives or rather misconceives of the role of PSCI, I repeat, I think the time has come for YB to seriously consider whether YB would want to lend your credibility to add to this gloss and pretension of what the PSCI stands for!

The public disclosure of the differences of opinion between Nazri and Bernard Ã¢â‚¬â€œ and the lines drawn on where they lie Ã¢â‚¬â€œ has clearly made it an Integrity issue now whether to serve on the PSCI.

I am sorry I have to say again : if a Minister of BN government like Bernard Dompok would deem it fit, as a matter of integrity, to resign from the PSCI, how could the Leader of Opposition with an unblemished record of integrity of over 30 years of service to the nation stay?</description>

<p>With a clear indication from the relevant Minister in charge of Parliamentary Affairs of what he conceives or rather misconceives of the role of PSCI, I repeat, I think the time has come for YB to seriously consider whether YB would want to lend your credibility to add to this gloss and pretension of what the PSCI stands for!</p>
<p>The public disclosure of the differences of opinion between Nazri and Bernard Ã¢â‚¬â€œ and the lines drawn on where they lie Ã¢â‚¬â€œ has clearly made it an Integrity issue now whether to serve on the PSCI.</p>
<p>I am sorry I have to say again : if a Minister of BN government like Bernard Dompok would deem it fit, as a matter of integrity, to resign from the PSCI, how could the Leader of Opposition with an unblemished record of integrity of over 30 years of service to the nation stay?</p>

		<description>Is sad to see Bernard Dompok and his people having suffer under Malaysia, the land below the wind has lost the whole forest and the Kandazan being systematically marginalized by the selfish UMNO Nationalist, 3rd world administration who claim that they are capable of leading Boleh land to 1st world by 2020. If I am a Sabahan I will kick those UMNO out of Sabah.</description>

		<description>The people are not blind as we can see what is wrong with the country, it is decaying. It is already truth to the people that the govt is corrupt even without PSCI, you can throw PSCI into the rubbish dump. To prove all the corruption allegations need another type of strategy, trying to pursue the truth in parliament is only a mockery of justice to the rakyat as Abdullah&#039;s govt has yet to table any white paper on corruption since he became PM. BN&#039;s govt under Abdullah will collapse.</description>

		<description>Some commentors above have said that what Tan Sri Bernard Dompok did to resign was the right, dignified and principled thing to do. I suggest that it is none of that, but actually an act of weakness, uselessness and utter despair and wilting under the enormity of contradictions between pronouncements and action, emanating from the PM and within the Cabinet.

With the handfull of Parlaimentary Select Committees on Integrity, Unity, Gender Equality, what nots, these are all akin to scarecrows in the padi fields, initially frightening off the crows. But after even just a short while, the crows know enough to disregard the lifeless scarecrows, and them birds even sit on the head or shoulders of the scarecrows and SHIT on them.

The PM and Cabinet be the crows, them PSCs be the scarecrows.... ineffective, and being shat (Huh? Bad English??) upon..!!!

With 92% BN-held seats, what Parliament, if not a SHAM Parliament? With that majority, Parliament cannot be expected to function differently from the Executive, particularly with the low-level, dimwit MPs from the BN.</description>
