“Isn’t parliament suppose to supervise and override decisions by the state councils?”

There are many ways to resolve this small/minor issue without the use of force, threat and intimidation.....but the state government for various undisclosed reasons, including political reasons, chose to use force. The ordinary people deserves better leadership which had been lacking for decades.

It is because the Federal government is made up of another group of goons who "duno" or just "plain lazy". If you can not rule the country get out of there.

So each state runs its own operations, why then do we need the Federal government and parliament? Isn't parliament suppose to supervise and override decisions by the state councils? If at all the federal government feels that this is not right, then send a directive to the Melaka state government to stop all these. In the first place, didn't the federal government know the least bit about this operation before it took off? Or better still, didn't the MCA receive notice of this operation? Sending troops of soldiers for this operation is no "small thing" and everyone in the government, including MCA delegates should have received news before hand, but MCA chose to remain silent until the whole incident exploded. This is a similar situation with the government's decision not to build Chinese schools under the 9th Malaysia Plan. Shouldn't MCA have known of this way before the announcement by the Minister of Education? What at all are MCA members doing in the government? Did they not attend the meetings or debates or were they sleeping through the sessions? And MCA had the guts to say "We represent the Chinese in Malaysia"!
