Time for Pakatan to be on their toes, wouldn’t you say?
Even taking into consideration extremely fishy occurrences, The PAS majority would likely still be in the 3 digits? That’s slim, and that’s cause for significant soul searching.
Already the pundits are taking out their knives, and I don’t have anything profoundly original to add.
I only hope the wake-up call is well heeded, along with the surge in Najib’s popularity.
I echo concerns that infighting is wounding Pakatan severely.
I’ve written before that we cannot but expect politicians to be serve their political interests first.
The degree to which putting self interest ahead of the groups interests of late however, leaves much to be desired, to say the least.
In Malaysian politics, the cycle tends to be that every 10 years or so, a serious threat to BN emerges. But they then adapt and reconsolidate.
If Pakatan wants to avoid falling a victim to history, I think more needs to be enforced from the top.
Anyway. I know it’s easy to hit people when they’re down. My loving hope is still to see an end to BN rule, and I want to sincerely keep pushing towards making that possible.
In the meantime, tahniah to the new YB Mohd Fauzi Abdullah, and to the team that made his election possible.
To Pakatan as a whole, I cannot help but reproduce more Auto-tune the News, with special attention to the last section, parodying Michael Jackson’s lawyers tirade about how we may one day just “wake up dead” :P



Mentality problem of the people? RM300 can buy …….
Our dear compatriots…….Where is the principle?
Nat, from what I am seeing PR is actually not much different from BN. Azmin Ali got a valid point. The appointment of those local councillors is a sham. Why must we appoint the local councillors from PAS, DAP or PKR?? We should appoint based on merit , not political affiliation.
You are right, PR has handed the initiative back to Najib.
I am of the opinion that come the next GE, we are looking at a repeat of 2004. I believe the only way for PR to wake up is to taste a big defeat in the next GE. That is the only way for them to learn.
Hi Nat
As the saying goes,
if people who are sick and tired of KKNdon’t hang together, they will hang separately.
Unity is strength and
Big Tent politics (with room for democratic, principled dissent) is the way to go.
Waking up is indeed a strange way to die.
