I do not know whether this feedback can reach you YB but i hope it will.
I have read the details of the policy of Pakatan Rakyat and it sounds very impressive. It seems like its the opposite of BN policy.
As a voter, especially a loyal supporter of Pakatan Rakyat, I wish to suggest a few feedback. No matter how good is a policy, its implementation is even more important. And what is even more importance is to setup a team of watchdog to oversee the implementation.
For example when you mention to reform the EPF. Who will implement them? The board member of EPF I suppose? I’m a guy from the corporate sector and I don’t think the members of the board which get used to BN regime for decades can reform itself. Of course I’m not suggesting that the board members been replace as it may trigger a lot of misunderstanding that PR are power crazy. May I suggest that the senior member of Labour Unions be the watchdog for the implementation. At least 3 of them from 3 different unions. This is of course based on the logic, the best person that take care of the labour’s money is the labour himself. This way is even more effective if you can rotate the members within the watchdog panel every 2 or 3 years to avoid any abuse. Like wise the education policy of Pakatan Rakyat which emphasize on need and merit. Please allow the member of the welfare department to be its advisor.
Some of my friends had already give up on the county system and prefer to migrate. I believe even more will choose to migrate in the future if the current system remain status quo. We need to retain our best talent. As such I suggest that DAP/PR should duly utilized its network of members to get more people to register especially young voters, “the power of change in every revolution”. Of course as a citizen I have always ask my friends and colleagues to register at the nearest post office if they haven’t. I strongly believe if we can get at least 1 more million voters and vote for us then Putrajaya its just a few meter away from now. Hopefully the PR’s policy can be implement in the near future.
