Wow! Love your logic mate!

Say what? You really mean that.....? Really.........?

I laugh and sometimes even get a migraine attack when politicians open their mouths and utter words that can only be understood by themselves. Maybe their sense of logic is not quite the same as the rest of us. I don't know lah.......maybe science should probe this illness further and get to the bottom of this mysterious logic by politicians.
I say so based on the following:-
1) The PM is quoted to have said " BN is not afraid. We have got to face the Rakyat and we will face the rakyat when the time comes. A state election is one of the options to resolve the crisis in Perak. But, under the constitution, it is the Sultan of Perak's discretion to decide whether an election should be held. So it is not some thing that has to happen". I don't know about you lah but to me that is very weird logic! The thing is this , I thought we lived in a constitutional monarchy, one where the monarchy is "advised" to do a certain act from time to time depending on the circumstances.Are you saying Sir that HRH the Sultan has absolute discretion in the matter that the wishes of the Rakyat are to be completely ignored? Are you saying that it is the Monarchy that actually decides when elections are to be held in this country? And that the executive has no choice or say in the matter?
2) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim - " ....The mandate must be given to the people of Perak to decide, not the courts.We are willing to to cooperate to respect the Constitution". My dear sir.....the blame for this whole mess lies with you and your people in PR. If you people didn't get "frogs" to be elected then we wont be in this mess in the first place, would we? Make sure in future you people get it right the next time. And please don't encourage this "frog" culture lah. See the mess it has caused? What goes around comes around....right?
3) Former PM Mahathir - " ...The best way is for a vote of no confidence to be moved in the state assembly to set up a new government under the BN leadership. It ( an election) costs money. The result I think, is foregone conclusion. What needs to be done is for the Dewan to sit and, if the BN really has the majority, it can move a motion of no confidence in the (PR) MB. Then you can set up another government". This man should be sent to an old folks home for good, me thinks. My dear sir, if the foregone conclusion is that if fresh elections are held and BN would surely lose doesn't that indicate to you that the Rakyat DOES NOT want BN to rule the state of Perak? You govern for the rakyat or for the interests of BN?
I think I need a panadol extra now! Kepala sakitlah!
