Why So Mad At Turf Clubs??

Just received confirmation that all racing telecast will be stopped from October 20th. Now, why am I so mad with the committee members. Club members hold themselves in close circle of cronyism, I would like to present a few questions to them:

a) who decides who gets to be a member, what God given right does members have it to lord over the paying public?

b) the race course is supposed to move from Sungei Besi to Bkt Beruntung area, as part of comepnsation, why do members ONLY get to buy certain bungalow lots at priviledged prices, when did turf clubs practicse NEP of their own?

c) can we have a breakdown of public patrons and actual club members at race courses - would I be very far off if the ratio is 85-15?? never have so much carried the burden for so few...

d) do the members have the interest of racing at heart of their own??

e) did Tanjong bitch when the Totalisator Board kept losing RM15-30m a year for the longest time, now they are just making a few moves to improve betting turn over and the biggest fuckers in their way is not the government but the bloody committee members of the fucking clubs....

f) when did turf clubs became profit making entities... the government should just give the running of turf clubs to Tanjong/PMP also, and lets appoint a proper CEO to run the whole thing ... the ex-CEOs of Singapore Turf Club and HK Turf Club were proper professional managers and before that were never involved or connected to racing...

chairman q,

pls show me the ruling as i could not find it in any announcement... if its true, yes, you can and should launch a protest and schedule a meeting with SC officials, they HAVE to meet with everyone with genuine grievances, and this is an actual one. Try to get some expert advice and testimony or opinion when speaking to SC, like try to get Tan Teng Boo or some research head, etc... to write an opinion on the matter, do dig out previous takeovers and the treatment of Ps and CULs.
