It is sad to note that the political impasse in Perak does not seem to abating any time soon. I hear that Khairy Jamaludin, that UMNO youth chap, had held a demonstration in Perak yesterday against the "illegitimate MB and his councillors". He and his rabble rousers are said to have demonstrated at the Ipoh Padang and are said to be in the region of 1,000 members. Now if you tell me that our Mr SIL had applied for a police permit to hold the said demonstration I then say "cows can fly". In only truly Malaysian style the demonstrators were not hassled by the police. No tear gas needed and no arrests were reportedly have been made. I tell you why the nice treatment. No, no, no not because he is the SIL of the outgoing PM lah... The reason for the nice preferential treatment was because he was reported to have said " resort to whatever means necessary to prevent the illegitimate MB and his councillors from entering the State secretariat". Did he actually say "whatever means" ? I guess these UMNO youth thugs were there just to assist the police in keeping the peace. No harm what...
Anyway it was only a few days before the "independents" became heroes in the minds of the BN that the SIL was reported to have said that he was against party hopping and was even reported to have said that party hopping to be "immoral". I guess some people have short memories lah.
I actually blame PKR leader Anwar for the fiasco in Perak. Didn't he go round trying to get the BN clowns to abandon ship in the first place? Well Datuk Seri looks like you only talked about it but those BN clowns actually did it! Like it or not you have egg on your face now!I support Karpal on this issue and say that party hopping is immoral and tantamount to acts of betraying/cheating the people whom had voted; irrespective for or against! Period.
To the people of Perak there is a saving grace in this political mess. With the untimely death of the MP for Bukit Gantang there surely will be a by- election for the said seat. I say the outcome of the by - election for the said seat would be indicative of the mood of Perakians.
