The other day I was having a chat with a taxi driver. We were talking about the political impasse in Perak. I must admit that I found this chap to be quite a witty fellow too. So it was no surprise to me that I thoroughly enjoyed the chat which lasted for about almost three quarters of an hour.
The remark that he made that made a lasting impression was this. He said " Boss apa manyak susah? Tak payah naik court turun court lah! Ini senang kasi settle punya. Panggil itu undi lagi lah. Siapa menang dia gomen lah!"
Well I guess what this chap said is true. Don't need us lawyers to run up and down the corridors of court, waving our copies of the Constitution. No need for learned constitutional arguments that don't make sense to the average Joe on the street.
All it takes are for cool heads to resolve this impasse in a gentlemanly manner. The BN government says it cares for the people and that whatever it does is always with the people's interests at heart.
The ball is in your court Mr PM sir. Be a gentleman and call for fresh elections in Perak. You have the power to stop all the shenanigans that is persisting now. We the Rakyat do not need all the drama and side shows. Put a stop to this nonsense. As you are aware the courts are already inundated with so many other cases that it need not be further encumbered with this ugly Perak episode.
The solution for this political impasse is so simple yet it is rather very strange that the BN refuses to accede to this.

P/S I just heard that the Court of Appeal has granted Zambry the stay of execution. Oh dear! Ting-ting.....round three! Here we go again!
