YOURSAY ‘Noh Omar, what about the Cameron Highlands tragedy?’
 
Noh: Folk died of dengue while Pakatan bickered
                                                                                                     
Odysseus: Now we know why former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad is asking for Selangor Umno to be dissolved.
                                 
Selangor Umno chief Noh Omar is completely clueless on the functions of the government. Is he expecting Anwar Ibrahim to be made prime minister so that he can chair a cabinet committee to look into dengue problems in this country?
 
Is he expecting Pakatan Rakyat to take over the government so that one of Pakatan MP can be appointed the health minster to direct hospitals and doctors to act on dengue problems. Where is his brain?
 
SultanMydin: Noh, you are obviously trying to divert attention elsewhere from the caustic criticisms level against the Umno leaders in Selangor (PM Najib Razak included) for losing the state in both the GE12 and GE13 by none other than Dr M.
 
If you have any decency and pride left, you should quit all posts and concentrate on your prawn farming full-time in Tanjung Karang.
 
Negarawan: Noh is under pressure for failing to topple the Pakatan state government of Selangor.
 
Did you say 2-0? Actually it was game over for you a long time ago. It is better that you tend to your prawns, rather than revealing your immaturity and stupidity in public.
                                                           
Voice: But we can recall that during the Selangor MB fiasco, Umno-BN was full praise of then MB Khalid Ibrahim.
 
Umno-BN should have concentrate on dengue matter since they were so concern about it and should not have been a busybody and support Khalid. Now you condemned the Khalid administration... so which is which?
 
Ranjita Kaur Whitemoon: Noh, I remembered during my student days, then health minister Chua Soi Lek visited our university.
 
A student fired a question at Chua. He asked, "Malaysia is now facing epidemic in dengue outbreak, what's our government going to do about it?"
 
You know what was his reply? First, he reminded the student despite his old age he knew about the mosquito cycle. He then questioned the poor lad regarding who the culprit was in creating the environment to breed mosquitoes.

Do you know what his answer was? "Rakyat," said Chua. There you have it, quoting your comrade who's more knowledgeable than you and playing for the same side, we can assume you are either stupid or a hypocrite.
 
I suggest BN stop all form of human trafficking into this country. One of my neighbour’s home is housing 30 something foreigners in a small terrace house. How then can you stop dengue from spreading?
 
The Analyser: If you had any common sense, you would realise that the dengue outbreak is the result of two factors.
 
Firstly, a community incapable of being educated, because they already know everything. And if you could educate them, they wouldn't know how to respond to this new knowledge. 
 
Secondly, typically Malaysian fogging contractors who have no idea of what they should be doing, and who will skimp on the amount of pesticide used to maximise profit.
 
I live in a street that has registered 20 cases of dengue in recent months. It's a well-drained suburb where dengue should not occur, but two out of three houses have rubbish tins containing up to 30cm of water, so you can only guess what goes on behind their compound gates.
 
You will be surprised that you can't blame either Umno nor Pakatan for that situation.
                       
Bystander: Noh, if you have the guts, please save the Selangorians the agony of deciding who would make a better menteri besar by facing MB Azmin Ali in the next GE.
 
You could kill two birds with one stone - destroy Azmin politically and get the possible MB’s post which you have been longing for a very long while.
 
FOR2LONG: It’s quite easy to explain why Azmin cannot be on time to visit the affected areas. Azmin is the MB and so he has very heavy responsibilities. Noh has ‘No’ job (pun intended) and so has plenty of time to pick on leaders like Azmin.
 
It’s sad that many people died of dengue but it would have happened no matter who the MB is.
 
Patriot1: Does it mean that when the PKR government was bickering, the hospitals in Selangor shut down? The state was hit by a dengue outbreak and people died. Did the health ministry investigate to find out why so many people died?
 
This is purely a medical matter so why must everything be made a political issue. It is really very tiring to hear BN politicians speak.
 
Same old story - anything wrong, blame the opposition. Using the same analogy, all medical personnel are therefore in the opposition camp?  
 
Mushiro: What was the federal ministry of health headed doing? Where was Health Minister Dr S Subramaniam?
 
FBNUMNO: Noh, what about the Cameron Highlands tragedy? Who do you blame for that?
