I should (and I did) expect the result to turn out this way, but I still feel down in the dumps. A very, very sad day for democracy in Malaysia, and Perak in particular. The man elected by the rakyat is ousted from the seat by an usurper, the tyranny of the minority has won over the majority.
Now the State Assembly will never be dissolved and there will never be state elections in Perak.
I have abandoned UMNO’s race politics since a very long time ago. The memory of my past obsession with “Malay rights” and “Malay supremacy” is thus a distant dream that is best left forgotten. It just occurred to me that there is a very funny irony in UMNO’s successful coup d’etat in Perak. For all their talk about “Daulat Tuanku”, “Ketuanan Melayu” and anything that has the word “Melayu in it, they succeeded in overthrowing a legtimately-elected Malay Menteri Besar from PAS and replaced him with a Tamil-speaking, mamak/Indian Menteri Besar from their own party.
Maybe they should rename themselves to United Mamak National Organisation 
No comments from me, I’ll let the news speak for itself.
KUALA KANGSAR, March 17 (Bernama) — State Pas secretary Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was sworn in as the new Menteri Besar of Perak at Istana Iskandariah in this royal town here today. He took the oath of office, pledge of loyalty and secrecy before the Regent of Perak, Raja Dr Nazrin Shah. Earlier, Mohammad Nizar, 51, an English-trained mechanical engineer, received his instrument of appointment from the Regent. After the swearing in, Mohammad Nizar signed his letter of appointment witnessed by Ipoh High Court Judge Datuk V. T. Singham.
We solved one problem, now a new one crops up:
PKR threatens to pull out of Perak gov’t
Just as one fire has been doused in Perak over the appointment of a PAS man as the new mentri besar post, another one is taking place. PKR has today threatened to pull out from the Perak coalition government on hearing that eight of the 10 executive council posts will go to DAP while the remaining two going to other parties.
Oh great, this is really shitty. The BN boys must be laughing at us now. I reiterate the call for all parties to stop being childish and come back to reality!
Good thing they did, I was already beginning to think that they are still embroiled in their Chinese Chauvinistic mentality and will never change, an attitude which obviously has no place in this country. Let’s move on and stop this bickering of yah-yah-I-wanna-get-MB-post-with-utter-disregard-for-reality so fark deez Mozlems.
