what went wro ….long

who could believe this….so much of education and westernization , hugh low would laugh in his grave.

· this whole business of toppling the Pakatan State Govt by defections to BN was originally to serve the public relations to boost Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s stature before the last UMNO General Assembly end March. It was to show he could play Pakatan Rakyat (PR)’s Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in his own game. It was to bring the “trophy” of Perak state Govt home to herald and mark the handover of power from Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to Najib.

· the reality on the ground is that there is no way PR’s politicians will allow such a wrestling away and transfer of power by dubious crossovers to Barisan Nasional (BN) without legitimacy of fresh rakyat’s mandate. They would fight tooth and nail to retain their hard won prize of Perak State Govt. It did not help those who planned the coup de grace to not factor in the disrupting effect of Speaker Sivakumar’s pivotal role to thwart a smooth transfer of power and force a constitutional impasse until today.

· Since the point has already been made to UMNO GA that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and to Anwar that “what you would say you would do but could not do, I can do better”, there is no point in persisting in such a course that leads the institutions of monarchy and judiciary into a collision course with large sections of the rakyat and brings more damage and disharmony than advantage to Najib or his 1 Malaysia Motto. It is already becoming a big baggage and it is an extra one he doesn’t need. After all Najib has already ascended to and is now ensconced at the apex of power. He has enough problems from other quarters. He needs to heal the national rift and show commitment to proceed with governance.

· The prolonged impasse has allowed the tide of public opinion to turn against this Perak adventure that has outlasted by now its public relations and other whatever value. Even patron Tun Mahathir has come out to speak against it diffusing whatever moral or legal legitimacy amongst BN camp!

· It would be better to retract and seize the initiative to win back whatever residual of goodwill over such a Perak misadventure by an aboutface turn of directing Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Kadir to cooperate with PR Aduns to support a dissolution of the Perak Legislative Assembly to pave way for the state wide elections. This is without conceding in anyway that the Ruler’s appointment of Zambry was anything than regular and constitutional.

· It is opportune time since Raja Nazrin will stand in stead of his father the HRH Sultan Perak to address the 59 assemblypersons. He can help set the right tone for a graceful reversal of BN’s position.

To persist in original course of ousting Siva would aggravate situation and requires more repressive methods hardly helpful to the economy and 1 Malaysia. From Najib’s angle, he should concentrate on how to defend BN in next general election rather than being dragged down embroiled in this Perak imbroglio, like a flu that won’t go away.

At the end of the day what is important is that we the public knows that BN Perak are nothing more than political Mat Rempits i.e, they break the law at their convenience and opportunity. That they regard the Perak people similar to cheap Mongolian sluts that can be used and disposed off when they want.

At the end of the day the public must understand that the state and country is in ‘clear and present danger’ and that they one who are seditious is BN and their appendices.

The people of Perak has been violated after countless times telling the BN attackers that NO. and the attackers just simply don’t undrestand.

In the end, it must boil down to ‘Maruah dan Aqidah’ i.e., how do they get their ‘maruah’ back and maintain ‘aqidah’ of their govt and political leaders?

UMNO Youth: Celaka betul. Orang Punjabi ini derhaka, nak cabar ketuanan melayu. Hey! cepat buat laporan polis.

Or will we see another brick in the wall?

Today, it all happens. Today is the day of reckoning.

Do the right thing.

A decision based on interest is carelessness on his part. He did not give the matter proper thought! Whatever it is, “Now, however, there remain faith, hope,love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1Corinthians 13;13)

You are certainly very generous to think that the political crisis in Perak is the result of a mistake made by the Sultan in a moment of carelessness.However many would believe otherwise since the Sultan is a former Lord President.Rather it is the result of a decision based on interest.

KennyGan,

There is, of course, a high possibility that your prediction will turn out right. But then again UMNO will have by now realised that taking over Perak Government by illegal and unscrupulous means will be more a curse to them, if anything. If I were to have the final say in UMNO, I would rather forego Perak which is just one battle. I would put my priority on winning the War-13th GE.

Taking Perak by force will only benefit PR greatly which,in turn will cause UMNO/BN to lose,with near certainty,the next GE due to rakyats’ anger against UMNO and sympathy for PR.

The Sultan should not have the feeling that it will be a ‘loss of face’ to retract his earlier decision. Like all human beings, he is not perfect, and bound to make mistakes no matter how wise he is. Too, admitting one’s mistakes signifies one’s courage rather than weakness.

Sir, dissolving the State Assembly wll benefit all parties-PR, BN and YOU. Unmistakably a WIN-Win situation.

The fact is that Umno is still locked in the mindset of a one party system so it does not bother about public opinion which it thinks it can disregard. However, it is fair to say that we now have a 2 party system so Umno’s inability to change its attitude will be its undoing.

The hallmarks of a 2 party system is that any one of 2 parties have the ability to win power and more importantly, the mindset of the people can accept being governed by either party. This is already true in Malaysia.

Here lies the difference : if Tun Dr Mahathir opined it, it is Ok, it is merely his point of view on the Constitution.

However when DAP National Chairman, prominent lawyer Karpal Singh and prominent blogger Raja Petra said in substance the same, they are accused of derhaka (disloyalty and treachery).

The permissability of how the Constitution is to be interpreted – whether lawful or unlawful – would now appear to be also dependent on the stature of the person, whether within or outside the power structure. :)

May the Almighty grant wisdom to the Sultan of Perak to make the right choice.
