M. Manogaran will be the voice of Orang Asli, not only from Cameron Highlands, but from all over Malaysia, in Parliament if he is elected Member of Parliamnt for Cameron Highands on January 26.
Although MIC Vice President C Sivarraajh was elected Member of Parliament from May 9, 2018 until the end of November when his election was declared null and void because of money politics and electoral corruption, Sivaraajh had not asked a single question on the problems of the Orang Asli in Cameron Highlands in the two parliamentary meetings in the six months he was MP.
This despite the fact that Cameron Highands is the parliamentary constituency with the largest number of Orang Aslis in the country, followed by Tapan and Gua Musang.
This is an example of his irresponsibility and negligence as MP for Cameron Highlands.
Former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib had said that Cameron Highlands by-election should be easy victory for the Barisan Nasional.
Two questions arises: Firstly, is Najib still the leader of Barisan Nasional.
Secondly, does Barisan Nasional still exist, as MCA wants the people to believe that Barisan Nasional is to be dissolved. May be the new MCA President, Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong can explain whether the MCA will help in the Barisan Nasional campaign in the Cameron Highlands by-election, as PAS has stated that it would help BN in the by-election campaign.

My sympathies to Pak Sabu for problems in his family. There is nothing more heartbreaking to a parent than seeing your own children struggle in their lives. Having spent too much time away needed for his dedication, it is unfortunately normal occurrence for many struggling parents.
My own perspective is that better Pak Sabu has a son who struggles with personal demons than Hadi Awang son failure that do not but instead spread hate and lies on his dependency to his father.
