Power struggle at School

When the whole nation is gutted at the way BN and PKR applying dirty and immoral tactics to gain advantage over each other, I was completely taken aback when I read a story in The Star on how this has assimilated into a school level. It says a pupil wearing a crash helmet splashed a chili powder mix on a lady face because someone is not happy over her decision to stand for a post in her school PTA. Prior to the incident, she received threatening calls not to stand for the post. Oh God, where is it all leading to? Why the hell there is power struggle in a school PTA?

I understand when it is for state or federal seat, it for power and money of course. But how about here? Is he or she genuinely going for the post to voice out the concerns of the school or has someone got their hand on the school fund? Or is this some kind of domino effect on Malaysians in general due to current political situation? Hmmmm... I wont be surprised if tomorrow’s headline reads “PTA chairman aspirant found two live bullets in the mail box.”

Give us a break my fellow countrymen, Perak state disarray is enough for us for the time being. Let’s put our brain and energy for a better use.
