Sack 'runaway train' Hasan, says Jelutong MP

(The Star) PETALING JAYA: Selangor executive councillor Datuk Dr Hasan Ali should be sacked as he has proven to be a problem for the Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor, said Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi.

“Nobody will discount the possibility Hasan will help Umno stage a Perak-like coup d’etat that Najib had openly called for,” said Ooi, who is the Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s chief-of-staff.

In a strongly-worded blog entry entitled PAS should give Hasan Ali a pass, sack him, if it isn’t too late, Ooi said that in Dr Hasan’s attempt to rid Selangor of corrupt political practices, he had misadventured to protect the corrupt.

“From his holier-than-thou stance in fanning the beer-banning self campaign, to his recent unilateral empowering of non-enforcement officers from mosques to nab Muslims for consuming alcohol, and now, openly ordering the dissolution of Selcat (Select Committee on Competency, Accountability and Transparency) that was formed via the very legislative process he took part in, these are indisputable proofs that Hasan Ali belongs more to Umno than PAS and Pakatan Rakyat combined,” said Ooi.

Calling Dr Hasan a “runaway train who defies the spirit of Pakatan Team”, Ooi stressed that Hasan must be asked to leave Pakatan for the larger good.

“A recalcitrant bent on destroying the fledging Pakatan like him should be sacked if welcome is overstayed,” said Ooi.

He added that Dr Hasan, the Selangor PAS commissioner, was not indispensable, and should a by-election be called in Gombak Setia (where Dr Hasan is the state assemblyman), “the seat can be retained if the cancer of Hasan Ali is to be ridden off”.
