Surely the public cannot be blamed for its strong and solid hunch that Hee’s datukship has very much to do with her role in helping the BN hijack the Perak State Government. Surely Hee must be rewarded handsomely for such great handiwork!
By Martin Jalleh
It was a historic occasion for Hee Yit Foong. She was bestowed the honorary title “Datuk” by his Highness the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, on the occasion of his 82nd birthday.
Hee must have been so “hee-elated”. It was the high point of her life after having gone through the depths of great public humiliation and to contend with the hate heaped on her especially by Perakians.
Indeed, she has been hounded and abuses hurled on her when she did the hop-step-and-jump political dance. She hopped out of her party, stepped on the people’s will and jumped into the waiting arms of the BN as an independent.
During a State Assembly meeting several DAP lawmakers gave her hell, threw RM1 notes at her and told her to resign as she had no honour left for selling her soul and State away!
Some in her Jelapang constituency hung an effigy of her and burnt it in a mock Chinese funeral rite! Others wanted to get their hands on her whose defection from DAP triggered BN's takeover of Perak.
Hee was hoping that the people would be hoodwinked by her hee-haw over how she was supposedly shunned, smeared, sidelined and “squeezed out of the DAP step-by-step” by its party leaders.
She denied that she had left the party because she was hankering after a state exco seat and was huffing and puffing and making a hue and cry over not being given a new Camry!
The DAP called her excuses pure humbug. They had not only groomed her to such great heights in politics but made her the first non-Malay, female, and physically handicapped deputy speaker in the country's history.
In Feb., Zambry harped about Hee’s “service record” and asked Perakians to give her “a chance to serve” as an assemblywoman. The rakyat of course saw no reason to heed the hoax and highfaluting Umno Court-appointed MB!
Alas, the people are humoured by the State’s high recognition of Hee through the Sultan. What did she do to deserve to be hailed with such a title? What is the hidden reason for the crowning of this overnight “heeroine” of Zambry’s State Government?
Zambry’s hype about Hee’s “service record” was half-witted and could not really hold. Soon after she had hopped over to be independent of the people’s will and vote, she had gone into hiding in order to save her own hide.
Her constituents in Jelapang confirm she is in hibernation. The DAP has formed the Jelapang Service Team (JST) to handle the needs of her constituents.
Further, how has Hee performed in the State Assembly? Has she contributed significantly to the debates (considering her halting Bahasa Malaysia) and to policy making? The answer is very obvious.
Two of Hee’s hallmarks in the supposedly hallowed House were when she became “hee-sterical” and demanded that she had the power as deputy speaker to chair the Perak state assembly to get Ganesan (illegally) elected as the new speaker in the chaotic sitting.
The other instance was when she used a pepper spray on a PR assemblyman in the House at the height of the havoc that took place. She denied doing it but her histrionics in the State Assembly were highly publicised on U-Tube!
Surely the public cannot be blamed for its strong and solid hunch that Hee’s datukship has very much to do with her role in helping the BN hijack the Perak State Government. Surely Hee must be rewarded handsomely for such great handiwork!
Hee Yit Foong will remain haunted for the rest of her life for having committed the the “hee-nous” and "hee-deous" crime of betraying the trust of those who voted for the party that she once represented.
As Hee makes hay while the sun shines, it is very clear that she will be “hee-story” when the next general election comes!
For now the rakyat of Perak have to bear up with the new Datuk’s “hee-pocrisy”!
