Lunch at Bukit Jelutong
On sunday 23 April 2006, another gathering of ex-PSC members and a few still serving PSC members over lunch was held at Dato' Sri Nusa's house. One subject-matter which keeps cropping up is what's the progress of our earlier proposal to have the ex-members being given the opportunity to sit as Panelists on part-time basis.
Unfortunately such a proposal doesn't rank high on the priority list of their agenda in whatever forum of the Commission. Inevitably those whose term are not coming to a close are not that interested in getting a decision, unlike us who have been waiting for something to happen. As I have pointed out at the farewell for the group who finished their term together with me, it's the comradeship that we look forward, which have been established over the five year period amongst us like Datuk Ishak, Datuk Jaafar, Tn. Haji Darus, Datuk Ti & Others. It would be a bonus if we could continue the spirit of close comradeship which we nurtured during our term as members of the Commission. One of the reason perhaps of my sleeping disorder was this suppressed anger of not getting a definitive answer on that proposal which had been left on a limbo. I supplicate to Allah Almighty that our hopes will not be in vain, InshaAllah.
