Justify The Overseas Agri Study Trip, Datuk Tiong!

The BNBBC Chairman Datuk Tiong King Sing keep denying that the study trip is to thwart the 916 threat. If that is the case, I suggest that Datuk Tiong release the trip itinerary/agenda to all Malaysian and explain the objectives so as to clear everyone's doubts and to proof his innocence. Of course, he has no obligation to do so currently.

While other activities in the country has been scaled down in the month of Ramadan, it is strange to see BNBBC organised such an event that involves all 78 BN backbenchers. Datuk Tiong should clarify the following which I think is important to clear our doubt, regardless who pays for the trip.

1. Why is it in such a hurry? Is the trip properly planned?
2. Why Taiwan? According to Bung Mokhtar, Taiwan is choosen because the advance Agriculture techenology poses by the Taiwanese. If Taiwanese technology is really that good, why then Malaysia government do not recognise the scroll conferred by the Taiwanese Universities?
3. Why the trip can not be postponed to after the Ramadan month?
4. What is the schedule for the trip as most of the MP's are muslim and hence, a pact schedule of visit is not suitable for them.
5. Why all BNBBC MP? Do we really need all 78 of them in this study trip? If all of them are crucial in order to make the study trip a successful one, then why give them the option whether to join or not?

If the purpose of the "study trip" is to prevent a massive cross over of BN's MP to PR, I feel that the BN leaders' are too simple minded. The reason is simple, in order for PR to topple the government, the defect MPs need not be presence. They are many other things that Anwar Ibrahim can do to achieve their 916 plan. Furthermore, the defectors can always buy a ticket and fly back to Malaysia anytime, where ever they may be. Be it 916 or 926 doesn't really matter to me.

I 'm more incline to think that BN is worried now and started to get panic. They will go all out and do whatever they can to make sure PR 916 plan is not going to happen, whatever silly thing it may be. I have a mixed feeling about the current state of BN. They were once a strong coalition but end up like what it is today.
