23RD JUNE 2008
Dear YB Nurul,
First of all, allow me to congratulate pakatan rakyat on your 100 days governing the 5 states of malaysia. By
the looks of things, you have all done a wonderful job. Do not allow the barisan government to interfere with
your ruling the 5 states which you have captured during the recent general elections.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a blind individual and a singer by proffession. As a blind individual, I strongly feel that I have been discriminated against by the ruling barisan government where employment is concerned. To cut a long story short, some years ago, I was employed as a d.j over rtm, but 6 months down the road I was relieved of my job. As a result, I wrote in to the then information minister, namely, Khalil Yaacob to intervene in the matter, but all my letters to him has gone unanswered until this very day. I even approached the MCA, Gerakan, Lee Lam Thye and suhakam for assistance but all my pleas for help were ignored. This certainly speaks volumes about this very uncaring barisan government. For your information, right after the 2004 general elections, I wrote a letter to prime minister Abdullah Badawi to intervene in the matter which I have stated above and I purposely attended his hari raya gathering to hand him the letter concerned. However, believe it or not, I have not heard from him until this very day.
Several weeks ago, I had a brainwave and wrote a memorandum to the PM reminding him of my previous letter to him. Subsequently,I made a trip to parliament house with the intention of handing the memo to PM Badawi personally. Unfortunately, I was denied entry into parliament house, but whilst waiting to be allowed to enter, I met a reporter from bernama going by the name of sabrina where I told her about my predicament but sad to say, she never lifted a finger to assist me in this matter. While waiting outside parliament house, I contacted some of the news media by phone such as the sun newspaper, the star newspaper and even news portal malaysiakini but my pleas for them to send reporters to interview me outside the gates of parliament house proved to be unsuccessful.
Finally, one of the guards summoned the assistant of Dr Ng Yen Yen, the minister of community services to see me and the name of the assistant goes by the name of Helmy who assured me that the memorandum to the PM would be handed to his boss. However, several weeks have now gone by and I have contacted Helmy on a few occasions, but to be told each time that his boss is very busy.
YB, I wish to request that you bring up this matter in parliament so that other handicapped people will not be discriminated against in future where employment is concerned.
By the way, you can also visit my blog where I have posted all my letters to the government officials
mentioned above with regards to my plight. My blog address is as follows,

As MP for lembah pantai, I would be most honoured if you could give me an appointment to meet up with you as I have taken a great interest in politics eversince I have been discriminated against by the barisan government.
For your information, I would be most grateful if you could kindly give me an appointment to meet up with you so that I can give you a better insight into my problems with the government. It may interest you to learn that I am a regular visitor to Raja Petra's website and I strongly feel that he has played a big part in pakatan's recent success by helping in your campaigns. It is my fervent hope that pakatan rakyat will take over the
federal government before too long, what with the stand of Yong Tek Lee and his comrades to move a motion of no confidence against PM Badawi. May I suggest that all barisan mps who intend to jump ship to join the pakatan rakyat should have their backgrounds vetted for I fear that they may be opportunists, thus spelling disaster for your party resulting in the future of Malaysians being jeopardized once again. My sincere apologies for my very frank comments. All the very best, and may the pakatan rakyat grow from strength to
strength.
Yours sincerely,
Alfred Ho.,
