Sin Chung School-a test of Pak Lah's integrity or authory?

SRJ Kebangsaan Sin Chung is located inside the constituency of the Prime Minister of Malaysia,Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, oh my God I didn't know! It seems very odd, very very odd! True, the developer has the legal right to tear down the school, but the arrogance with which he went about handling this matter is definitely not the Malaysian way. He must at least "give face" to the wakil in that area, unless he has the blessing of the said wakil. Did Pak Lah give him the blessing? I doubt it very much. Then it must be that he did not care who the wakil is, be it be it an ordinary MP or the Prime Minister himself. I wonder again who is this guy? So powerful that he can just ignore the Prime Minister. Or maybe he plans to quit doing business in Malaysia after completion of this particular project, so that he can afford to antagonize everyone. Sin Chung was built with the help of the public's donations through the years. Now that it will be demolished, who will help to rebuild it now? Surely they can not collect enough money in such a short notice. The only way is to convert it to a full government managed school; this will be a severe blow to the Chinese community. Pak Lah said he had given full authority to Penang's Chief Minister Dr Koh Su Koon to handle the matter. Can Dr Koh handle it? It was very clear in past incidences that the developer did not respect him at all. Dr Koh is in a real dilemma now!
