Critical Thoughts

Kicking it off for Election 2011, since everyone is up in arms about it.

I guess there must always be a first for everything:

BN May Not Contest Penanti
Barisan Nasional may not contest the Penanti state by-election if it obtains the consensus of all component parties, says PM Najib.

I am really curious to know what is the answer to this, so I really would like to ask the Sungai Rapat assemblywoman, Hamidah Osman, who is now an Exco member of the (illegal) Perak state government the following question: what will you do if you meet an Indian and a snake along the way to the State Assembly building??

As the dramatic events of the past 48 hours culminated in the loss of a State government for the Pakatan Rakyat, I wonder whether the three traitors who started this debacle in the first place are sleeping well tonight?

We probably scored a political first in Malaysia: a Deputy Speaker-turned-whore selling off her body (or in this case, principles) for a bounty, and two male Shaitaan with human faces selling their honour for RM50 million. Certainly a pride and joy for Malaysia in these tumultuous economic times. Malaysia Boleh!

Confirmed, the fall of Kerajaan Negeri Perak Darul Ridzuan, under Pakatan Rakyat rule.

The office of the Sultan of Perak, in a statement on Wednesday, said that after meeting all the 28 Barisan Nasional assemblymen and the three independents, the Sultan was convinced that Mohammad Nizar had ceased to command the confidence of the majority of the state assembly members.

“If Datuk Seri Ir. Mohammad Nizar bin Jamaluddin does not resign his post as Perak mentri besar together with the members of the state executive council, the posts of mentri besar and state executive councilors are considered vacant,” the statement said.

Truly sad that it had to end this way (waving RM50 million sure does wonders, does it not?), but kudos to Datuk Seri Ir. Nizar Jamaluddin for having steered this state government for this long. It was an interesting 11-month rule, no doubt. Were it not for people from other parties having the tendency to hop, hop hop….it would certainly have lasted much longer.
