When BN did it, it’s not?

It would be, if the BN don’t resort to bribery, threats and kidnapping! And if the police don’t resort to harassment of the victims rather than the perpetrator.

Devan … do you think when Anwar and PR welcomed the BN assemblymen crossing over with open arms, that was REAL democracy? They do it, it’s democracy? When BN did it, it’s not?

The economy is dire and politicians in Malaysia are still fighting over this. By-elections means money goes to waste. So does a state election. Millions down the drain.

Would be nice if we had another PRU throughout the realm to let us kick out all those who are not working for the rakyat, those who are foul-mouthed, those who are corrupt and those who betrayed the mandate of the rakyat.

“Sivakumar has already flexed his muscles by suspending the BN’s Menteri Besar Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir and his six executive councillors. They will not be allowed to enter the assembly for the emergency sitting. Neither will the three independents who left the PR to support the BN be allowed into the state assembly, as Sivakumar deems their resignations from their state seats effective.”

And so … Pawn checks King. You got to love the political chessboard. Can’t wait for this game to reach checkmate.

Sunny … so you think what Umno did was REAL democracy? Or what the three FROGS did was also acceptable?

The main factor here was $$$ … millions.

Anyway I am proud to have the first Indian MB of Malaysia! Valge Makkal Sakti.

This is the mess that BN has got the state into and pulled the learned sultan along. Nizar/PKR were doing a fine job for the state and Ipoh. Things were improving and people generally were happy as roads were getting cleaner, drains were cleaned and trees were being planted. Mind you it was only 10 months and they had achieved some measure of progress.

Now we have this daylight robbery by the BN. Be honest if you want Perak to come back to us the rakyat and we will make sure this time we will wipe you off Perak. This is your fear. Why fear the rakyat if you have done no wrong.

Let the people speak once and for all and let all this crisis end. Dissolve the assembly and let the party begin!

Esok harap harap sejarah baru TERCIPTA. Siva ada kuasa ada peruntukan undang-undang, kenapa nak disalahkan?

No problem. Whatever the result is, BN is still the sore loser whether it has dodged the bullet or not!

This reminds me of Aesop’s fable of the dog with the bone.

What is clear to me is that the House is not yet subjected to the court as the mater is yet to be heard. Also, the position and decision by the speaker is not a subject in the said matter. However truth be told there are no grounds where the court should rule in Zambry’s favour. Interesting though, is BN’s every legal attempt and procrastinations, which suggest that Zambry and his sponsors rushed into this quagmire before securing the exits, are a little too late and only serve to reiterate the power of the law and that there is little room for an injustice. Zambry/BN will have no choice but to comply with greater odds stacked against them. The end result will be that the BN made a serious blunder that has cost them the status of opposition.

The bone fell into the river.
