Teresa: Ahli UMNO pengecut

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 November:

Naib Pengerusi DAP Teresa Kok melebal ahli UMNO sebagai penakut kerana tidak mahu membangkitkan isu 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) pada perhimpunan agung parti itu yang akan bermula pada minggu hadapan.

Ahli Parlimen Seputeh itu berkata, isu berkenaan sangat penting dan ia perlu dibangkitkan dalam perhimpunan agung parti itu akan datang.

“Isu melibatkan 1MDB yang dibangkitkan oleh DAP dan Dr Mahathir adalah isu serius di mana delegasi UMNO perlu berani untuk mendebatkannya. Ini tidak, mereka mengetengahkan topik sekolah vernakular dan peranan syarikat berkaitan kerajaan (GLC) dalam memantapkan ekonomi Bumiputera.

“Apa perhimpunan agung itu cuba capai dengan menjadikan isu sekolah vernakular sebagai topik utama dan dalam konteks sekolah satu aliran bertentangan sekolah vernakular?,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

Kok berkata, UMNO sewajarnya mencermin diri mereka sendiri sebagai punca kegagalan sistem pendidikan negara, malah menteri sendiri menghantar anak mereka ke sekolah swasta dan antarabangsa.

“Jika UMNO terlalu bimbang dengan isu pendidikan sekolah rendah, mereka juga boleh berbincang secara rasional mengapa sekolah kebangsaan gagal menjadi pilihan utama ibu bapa, seperti yang dibangkitkan bekas perdana menteri di mana ramai menteri dan pemimpin UMNO menghantar anak mereka ke sekolah swasta atau antarabangsa, sama ada dalam atau luar negara,” katanya.

Kok juga membidas Ketua UMNO Bahagian Cheras Datuk Seri Syed Ali Alhabshee yang menyerangnya secara peribadi, tetapi pada masa sama tidak berani membangkitkan isu 1MDB.

Thanks StyleFixx for inviting us to the Premiere Shopping Event at the Metropolitan Pavilion this year!

Though this was no Fashion Night Out/ Fashion Week, it was a great shopping event to kick off your summer. With great steals and deals on anything from clothing to doggy carriers and even free makeovers, this is definitely an event that you want to go to with your girlfriends.

Here are some of our favorite things we found at this event.

NO.1 : Vernakular

Vernakular is a company that makes use of graphic images as well as photographs to create a line of apparels and accessories for men and women.

Needless to say, we bough their merchandise. We fell in love with these organizers and bought them on the spot.

NO.2 - Zack Lo

Zack Lo is a shoe designer from Taiwan and we have to say, his designs are pretty bold! We love his feather-adorned shoes and the studded black heels. He is currently based in Boston and you can find his shoes in LIT stores.

NO.3 - Stefano Bravo

Steven had the coolest items at this event. We were totally smitten by this fur coat and irresistible doggy carriers! Needless to say, Rachel started lamenting about how she didn't have a dog and if she did, she would have bought those bags in a heartbeat.

We had a fun night and we're looking forward to the next one!

You can still catch StyleFixx events at Boston, Chicago and even D.C.
