Lim Kit Siang said: "All DAP Perak Assemblymen will stay away from the swearing-in ceremony for Perak Mentri Besar scheduled tomorrow."
Oh shit! Why does Kit Siang have to do that? If DAP chairperson Ngeh Khoo Ham had made the statement that: “All three parties have unanimously agreed that we will fully endorse the Sultan’s choice,” why then did DAP had to backtrack and betray the coalition?
So what's the difference between a pot and a kettle?
Shame on DAP; I hope they will quickly reconsider their decision and prove to the people who had voted them in that we had not made a mistake.
Anwar, are you going to do something to resolve this issue? Husam, Anwar and Kit Siang must get to a roundtable talk quickly before more damage is done and before the general public becomes disillusioned.

of all the people, didn't expect that from him... to throw caution to the wind.
Maybe LKS knows something about PKR/PAS intentions which we don't. I won't be surprised that the NEP and Ketuanan Melayu agenda will prove useful to the PKR/PAS in garnering more support from disenchanted Umno members.
This sudden turn of events is not surprising at all. It is however hugely disappointing to those who had hoped against hope that it would not end up like this.
Not suprise at all, piece of shit from DAP, show your sportmanship, learn from Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, what on earth happens to DAP? 4 days after election, cracks started, still 5 yrs to go b4 next election, come on, go out and prove to rakyat...
couldn't blame him rite? tit-for-tat...
no dap exco in kedah then no pas mb in perak.
husam musa/pas got to honour their earlier promise and show their sincerity as well.
a very experienced politician doesn't suddenly fall off the deep end,.. i think a better picture will soon emerge
Anak Merdeka,
A nation success is much dependent on able leadership; that is, people who are willing to be visionary, looking at the bigger pictures, sacrificing for the sake of the people, and showing good example.
DAP Perak chief Ngeh had said that the coalition will abide by the Sultan's decision; whatever it is, the decision was made by the Sultan, and DAP must abide by it eventhough it is painful.
William,
Ya, it's shit and the people will get disillusioned and thus would cause rife.
LKS, be more matured. Dont go round doing this type of rubbish that make all your supporters look bad. We really regret voting DAP. Get out of the idea that you are fighting only for the Chinese. Fight for all Malaysians.
You are not from Ipoh and you dont know how we think.
You only have 5 years to proof your worth and you have just taken the 1st step to self destruction by boycotting the Sultan's decision.
3rd-Eye.
I agree with anon above. It is more likely to be over the kedah issue.
I started to doubt the kedah guy already. Problem problem
May 2008 : Election for Perak State aAssembly
June 2008 : Election for Selangor State Assembly
July 2008 : Election for Penang State Assembly
Barisan Nasional sapu bersih. DSAI, LKS and Husam all went back happy.
GE2008 - Actual winners: Racial Politics, Losers: Democracy & Meritocracy, and here's why..
The issue is not the fact that a Malay will be MB, but that a candidate from the party with the smallest number of elected representatives. Shouldn't the MB be the most qualified from the party with more seats compared to the other 2 combined? Failing which (due to constitutional constraints), it should go to the most qualified from the party with the second largest elected representative? Loser = Democracy & Meritocracy.
Next, look at Penang. Why do we need a malay DCM and an Indian DCM to represent the rights of the respective communities? Isn't DAP a multiracial party, the CM (irrespective of race) will represent every community? Besides creating a "bloated cabinet", this will set the precedent for all other appointments... Going by this logic, you'll need a 3-race leadership gang as head of the town & city councils, all the way down to the lowest level - because you need an Indian to represent Indian interest, malay to represent malay interest and chinese to represent chinese interest. Doesn't this look very much like the BN we fought so hard to get rid off?? ....and, if they win at the federal level, we will be having Malay PM, Chinese DPM(I) and Indian DPM(II). Can DAP or anyone explain the rational behind these 2 appointments?
We voted for Democracy & Meritocracy, a Malaysian Malaysia. We voted against Racial Politics, but going by these 2 high profile appointments, we lost! :(
I am disappointed. BN had said that PKR-DAP-PAS coalition was merely a 'contract marriage'. Now, unfortunately, it's beginning to sound to be very true.
Why cant we all just be intelligent adults for once - pleaseeeee DONT BEHAVE LIKE SPOILT CHILDREN!
Cakap Tak Serupa Bikin, Indeed.
Hasilox,
If you read the earlier statements by Teresa Kok at Malaysiakini, you could suspect that things are just not right with PAS-PKR-DAP over the last 48 hours. But sacrifices are necessary in the interest of the rakyat.
Pouncer,
The racial paranoia is deep ingrained within our culture, and the Malays are still worried. Let's be empathic and sensitive to others' feelings. Change is necessary but we have to change a little at a time, particularly on extreme sensitive issues such as this. DAP needs to built up trust with the Malay community. They have to do things positively and empirically over a reasonable period of time to win them over.
We must not lose hope of Bangsa Malaysia's dream. Let's be patient and lets hope Kit Siang and Anwar will do something and agree on certain issues soon. Without a visionary leader, all hopes are lost.
Nani,
You are disappointed and so are all of us; but let's not give up hope for a single problem. Anwar-Kit Siang and possibly Husam must quickly work things out before the disease sets-in and becomes acrimonious.
i think the information may not be valid and true.
all we know its being doctored by the 5th floor and then 4th floor simply to cause Barisan Rakyat mistrust each other and break up.
rakyat must think positive of the candidates that we chose; rest assured Anwar Ibrahim is aware of this situation and taking best means to correct the news, it is a news at all.
Lim Kit Siang and Anwar Ibrahim plus Husam Musa wont do or talk that could backfire the Barisan Rakyat initiative.
think logically pays, all times!
Maverick sm,
Yes, there's no doubt that the racial paranoia is deeply ingrained and we have to empathize. My point is we should try to do so without contradicting the most fundamental change we are fighting for - Non race-based politics. If we think we are not ready for this, then we should not have campaigned along those lines. Now that BR has been given the mandate, why practice the direct opposite? If we have to be sensitive to the malays, then choose the most qualified malay amongst the elected lot to be CM of Penang & Perak - someone who is trusted to represent all communities and do away with creating other race-based positions. Likewise for the other races. What started in Penang was quickly duplicated in Perak. It's in direct contradiction to a Malaysian Malaysia policy.
Doc,
I will wait for tomorrow headline. Then see DAP assemblyman or even LKS himself appear in Perak. With tons of people response in his blogs, LKS can indeed use it as proof to shoot MCA propaganda.
Just my 2 cents. We will see.
To LKS, it's a matter of principle. This is not a crack in BR. He's holding on to his principle that any party with the majority can pick the MB, that is democracy. But here we are having the smallest party in Perak having the MB seat. Ofcourse as a champion of democracy, this cannot be accepted. Well, LKS only say that DAP should stay away from the swearing in ceremony BUT short of saying that DAP will not work with PAS MB. See, if he really wants to destroy the BR coalition, he would have take DAP away from the BR and then BN can have Perak back but he did not!
Maybe the timing and tone could have been better planned.
DAP know PAS better then maybe anyone else here.
They rules one term and collapse in Terengganu.
Most of all DAP senior leaders been to Trg during PAS time.
The question is why PAS lost in great number after a term?
DAP knows, Trg people knows how they spoil the state.
Ling Ling Chatt,
I think Kit Siang-Husam-Anwar are meeting tomorrow.
Pouncer,
You are absolutely right. We hope DAP will show graciousness and goodwill. They should hold each others hand and proved to Malaysians race is not an issue.
Moo_t,
This news comes from Kit Siang's blog. Lets wait for Anwar's view point and action.
I am a Malay and I voted for DAP in the last election. Upon securing victory in the election LKS has chosen to display his arrogance and conceited racism to throw insult on no less a person than the Sultan of Perak which is the height of kurang ajar especially when DAP itself was a party to submitting 3 names for the Sultan's consideration. I regretted voting for DAP and shall never again trust this cina totok party.LKS is nothing but a BS.
Black cat or white cat--- as long as it brings justice and equality to all the rakyat, it does not matter in the least
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think LKS is more of Islamphobic rather than a racist.
Well, this could be true since he's willing to accept a candidate from PKR as Perak MB but not from PAS.
What a miserable world, BN are smiling and clapping...soon they would offer PKR to join them.
I am a Chinese and once I voted for PAS in the election. Upon securing victory of the state, they choose to display their arrogance, bad management of the state and corruption happen here and there. I regretted voting for PAS and shall never again trust this ular dalam semak leader.
Lim Kit Siang & DAP must not forget that the Multi-racial Malaysians disullusioned with BN voted them in.Not just Chinese Indians but Malays as well.
If they start getting arrogant and talked like the Hang Tuahs of UMNO we will kick you out in 4 yrs time.
Shame on you just emulate the honorable courtesy of Dr Koh Tsu Koon. He even requsted time to attend the swearing in of your son. If you cant be a good Chinese Malaysian come to Kelantan and learn from us.
And stop harping about NEP to be exploited by BN that you are anti Malay. Leave it to PKR and PAS because their criticisms are more rational nad constructive than yours.
Anok Cino Kelate
In the past DAP being the Opposition always call for the transparency on BN Government decision.
Now that DAP is in the Government, we wait what DAP has got to tell us terang terang on this issue . Be transparent also mah.
We await and demand your clarificationa and explanation.
Cakap mesti bikin siap siap!
This is rather unfortunate. But DAP is answerable to its supporters who are mainly living in the villages. This does not show that DAP does not respect the Sultan but merely "main politik". If DAP were to attend this swearing-in ceremony, it will provide ammunition for MCA to attack DAP. For non-DAP members or die-hard supporters, please understand this issue. Please work on the common denominator and compromise on differences. Don't forget it took 50 years to come this far and don't destroy it within days.
Like Aisehman said in his blog, i too will kick his ass every day in my blog until the next election if Kit Siang doesn't resolve this stupid act of his.
What a bangsat.
masing-masing dah tumbuh tanduk dah...mmm ..nak bela rakyat...dah berebut jawatan pulak dah...I think 2X5=5X2 !.
Kemenangan dicapai adalah dari rakyat pelbagai kaum.Penuhi lah harapan rakyat pelbagai kaum ini. Aduhai YB = Yang Berkhidmat !
The whole country voted you in because we are fed up with the arrrogance and power crazy BN and now that you are in power your true colours are showing.
You are disrespectful to your allies and the Ruler and a bloody disgrace to us the Chinese Malaysians.
Compared to Dr Koh Tsu Koon you are a low class politician.
No wonder BN can ruled for 50 years with shortsighted Opposition leaders like you.
Pengundi yang Kecewa
Why is it that DAP who has won the most seats have no say in determining who will be the Menteri Besar?
With PAS as the MB, I believe most of DAP supporters will desert DAP in the next election.
lim kit siang is no longer relevant!
why was BN not being offered a chance to form the Govt in Perak. After all BN (a registered party) won 28 seats. if after failing to form the govt only then the offer goes to the party with the next most number of seats.
and who is lim kit siang to protest when dap won only 18 seats. combine with pkr - 25 still no fight with BN.
so shaddap lim kit siang.
we will never vote for DAP again. period.
Hehehehe .... This conflict shows that this is a real Malaysia ....
BN and Barisan Rakyat is sama-sama "teruknya" .....
DAP has the most seats in the 'coalition' so shouldn't have they have a say?
welcome! to democracy Malaysia style.

Dear sir,
kit siang said it is a dap-pkr govt. he did not include PAS.
Mave, you're absolutely right. I'm fuming.
Defying the appointment of MB appointed by the Sultan of Perak himself is not the right direction to take.
Grr Grrrr
Guys,
This is ktemoc's take on Kit Siang's stand which I have also posted on Rocky's site:
KTemoc said...
In fact I was anticipating a PAS person as MB, but I was surprised that Raja Nazrin went down that way - mind you, it's OK with me personally. But I heard the Malays/Muslism in the State are worried about a DAP-Chinese MB. Situation seems to be rather tense. Maybe that's why Nazrin appointed him.
Uncle Lim has to make that statement for consumption of the DAP constituencies - bet you MCA will be harvesting the benefit of this embarrassment for the DAP.
8:38 PM, March 12, 2008
It could be Uncle Lim's political posturing ... let's wiat and see before giving up on Uncle Lim so hastily !!
Remember what happen to DAP when it formed a coalition with PAS for the 1999 elections?? Both Karpal and Uncle Lim got dumped!
So is Uncle Lim's recent action any surprising? It will be political suicide for DAP if he does not put on any objection.
I wonder, would people have voted for DAP if they knew that PAS would be the MB of Perak?
I also wonder why is PAS pushing forward its candidate to be the MB knowing full well that DAP would rather PKR be the MB for Perak. Not very considerate for a junior partner in the 'coalition'.
seriously... this sucks... shows that DAP is racial bias.
Is DAP racist? I thought they supported PKR'candidate who is a Malay muslim to be the MB?
PAS is power greed and very unsporting. The second collation won Perak, they jump out proposing and marketing their ppl to MB post even they are the smallest lot.
Other two only quiet.
By actual fact, PKR is the right candidate for MB post.
Come on you guys. Just because of a disagreement by LKS, everyone is calling him a racist. If he is, then he would not have said he preferred PKR's Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi to be the MB. He knows constitutionally Ngeh cannot be the MB, so it has to go the next highest voted candidate and it happens to be PKR. I guess LKS should have kept this under wrapped rather than publicising feelings about the issue. I wonder what HRH Nazrin has to say about this?
It's a difficult issue.
The leadership at PAS seem to want to work with the other parties but what's happening in Kedah seems to show that the national PAS leaders are not fully in control over Kedah.
This seems to be the beginning of some problems with Barisan Rakyat. If the present Kedah-Perak problem is resolved amicably, there is hope yet.
These are birth pains of any post-BN administration. We are concerned but they will happen. Let's hope PAS and DAP will get their act together and not disappoint the voters.
Saya adalah seorang anak Melayu yg mengundi DAP untuk parlimen Bandar Kuching.
Saya yakin, sebelum seseorg itu mendapat kuasa, beliau pasti mengkritik pihak yg berkuasa dlm masa yg sama memperjuangkan hak2 golongan tertindas tanpa mengira bangsa.
Tapi, bila kuasa sudah di tangan mereka yg membangkang sebelum ini, maka mereka telah bertukar menjadi sepertimana pihak kerajaan sebelumnya iaitu GILA KUASA, TAMAK, PENTINGKAN DIRI, HANYA BERJUANG UNTUK KEPENTINGAN PERUT DAN PERIUK MASING2 SAJA. MATLAMAT ASAL PERJUANGAN UTK SEMUA KAUM TERUS HILANG.
INILAH DUNIA POLITIK!!! Aku yakin, jika kekalutan ini terus berlaku, maka isu ini akan dipergunakan oleh pihak BN utk memecah-belahkan Pakatan PKR-PAS-DAP. Dan yg pasti, mereka tidak akan bekerjasama lagi pada masa yg akan datang. Jika bekerjasama sekalipun, kemenangan akan jadi sukar utk dikecapi kecuali di kawasan di mana kaum cina adalah majoritinya.
Org Melayu akan serik untuk mengundi DAP. Percayalah.
Walaupun aku org Melayu, aku tidak peduli sama ada Perdana Menteri atau Ketua Menteri atau Menteri Besar itu adalah org Cina, India, Melayu, Dayak, dsbnya. Apa guna ada PM, KM or MB melayu sekiranya taraf kehidupan majoriti rakyat d Malaysia semakin sukar. Kuasa beli semakin kecil walaupun pendapatan meningkat!! Adalah lebih baik yg memerintah itu kaum lain jika beliau dapat memastikan tahap kehidupan majoriti penduduk Msia adalah lebih baik dari sebelumnya.
Ingatlah, jika keadaan ini beterusan, saya yakin PKR-DAP-PAS pasti akan berpecah. Dan tidak mustahil DAP akan berpindah kem menyertai BN, dibeli oleh BN utk memastikan BN dapat majoriti 2/3 di Parlimen serta Penang, Selangor dan Perak kembali ke BN.
Perkara ini pernah berlaku sebelum ini bila PBS yg menang di Sabah masok BN, serta PBDS di Sarawak juga menyertai BN. Anda juga pasti ingat bila Gerakan yg menang pada thn 1969 telah menyertai BN 2 thn kemudian.
Sedih sungguh sedih. Harapan tinggal harapan.
Kita tunggu dan lihat perkembangan sehari dua lagi.
Did we believe in democracy? Yes. Are we truly ready for democracy? No. Please don't blame anyone else. It is us who "cakap tak serupa bikin". I believed the pillar of democracy is one man one vote. We voted and someone got the majority. So what happen now? I am sad, very sad. My vote didn't count after all. Democracy is dead. I think this is the last time I will vote.
if we really want to talk about democracy (ref. anon 8.21 AM), why should it be that the MB has to be a malay? it's not that i prefer DAP ngeh to hold the MB post but i am questioning the... constitution?... saying the MB must be a malay. like that where got democracy? ok ok... and penang... why is it that the CM has to be a chinese? we are still racially divided here and the sad thing is this will not go away.
a person should be chosen for the post based on his calibre/characteristics not on his race! unfortunately you won't see this happen in malaysia... even with barisan rakyat ruling.

Subject: Re: Strong disappointment on DAP's decision over Perak Menteri Besar
To my beloved DAP leaders,
Hope this message get to your CEC members as well.
Why you want to sour the already fragile relationship with PAS, at a time where you can work towards strengthening it? PAS has shown willingness to discuss Barisan Rakyat and we rakyat is happy to see the formation of Barisan Rakyat to realize the dream of 2-party system, as long as it carry a mandate of secular state for Malaysia.
And why such a flip-flop? Where is DAP's integrity? DAP Perak pledged to abide by Sultan of Perak's choice of Menteri Besar just a day earlier. Why DAP CEC rejects it? Why not discuss this among PAS, PKR and DAP? Why does it has to go public, and in such high profile? You guys are not better than Pak Lah nor BN in handling such situation.
Your report card is already tainted. Go mend the fence now and take corrective action immediately.
regards,
Gerald Khor

Subject: Strong disappointment on DAP's decision over Perak Menteri Besar
Dear YB Karpal Singh, YB Lim Kit Siang, YB Lim Guan Eng,
As a supporter of DAP that believe strongly in "Malaysian's Malaysia ", I wish to express my strong disappointment on DAP's decision to disapprove Perak Sultan's selection of the next Menteri Besar (from a PAS representative). At the very least, please respect the choice made by Sultan Azlan Shah.
We just witness a new era in Malaysia politics after 8th March that gave so much hope to the people of this lovely nation. The loose pact between DAP, PAS and PKR scored big win in GE2008. Please keep up the good work and strengthen the pact. In fact, you guys should just formalize the pact and form Barisan Rakyat as suggested by many concerned Malaysians. Chinese voted for PAS and Malay voted for DAP on 8th March. I personally called my family members to make sure they vote no BN candidates. It is time that DAP seriously consider formalizing a pact with PAS and PKR. PAS seems to come a long way and is becoming more moderate. A pact should be made if PAS can drop their mandate to form an Islamic country.
Please don't let this pact break away because of selection of Perak Menteri Besar. It is no doubt an important post but the next General Election will be even more important. The bigger task for DAP, PAS and PKR is to prove to the rakyat that you guys can be good government, starting with showing good results in Kedah, Kelantan, Penang, Perak and Selangor. It is a bad start to score an "E" for this fiasco. Furthermore PAS has given its words to work closely with the coalition government in Perak, and DAP has more seats and have been promised the most EXCO members. Give and take will go a long way for this young coalition.
I am a Chinese from Taiping and I have no problem seeing a PAS representative as Perak's Menteri Besar, as long as there is no Islamic rules (as yet) like those in Kelantan. Given the Constitutional constraints and the state's demographics, it is fair to have a Malay State Assemblyman to be appointed as Menteri Besar with a Chinese and Indian Naib Menteri Besar representing the other two major races.
The rakyat is still trying to grasp with the new scene in Malaysia politics. For me hailing from Perak, I know it is not easy for the Chinese in Perak to accept a PAS rep as Menteri Besar but we are ready to give him a chance to perform. People voted him (and his coalition government) in this time round. People can vote him out the next time. And we hope DAP will put national interest before party to give this man a chance to perform with his comrades in the Perak State Assembly as well.
If DAP cannot resolve this fiasco properly, all the manifestos and promises given pre-election will not be relevant anymore. Walk-the-talk. Integrity is everything. Otherwise DAP is no different from any BN component parties. And I will regret very much the thousands of dollar donation I made to DAP Malaysia in Jan and Feb 2008.
Thank you for your attention.
regards,
Gerald Khor
ps: http://www.malaysia-today.net/2008/content/view/4246/1/ has a lot more feedback for your attention.
ps: Somehow http://dapmalaysia.org/newenglish/feedback.htm does not work properly thus a direct email.
I don't know why so many people are quick to label LKS a racist, and by the same connection, DAP a racist party.
Look at his statement and look at the circumstances surrounding his outburst. It is not a racial issue.
Just like the Malays say that they took a giant leap in voting for DAP, similarly many Chinese voted for PAS in good faith. But just as the Malays will revolt against a Chinese MB in Perak, similarly why can't they accept that three PAS MBs out of 5 states won is rather hard to stomach?
There is a lack of sensitivity in this issue.
fully agree with you, anak merdeka! real fed up of people not only here but other blogs accusing LKS and DAP of being racist. yes we should all look at the circumstances surrounding his outburst.
This is really not about race anymore - do you really think they are thinking about their people? All they want is power. Everyone wants to be in control.
Yah, emulate Koh Tsu Koon and lose PG in the next GE.
Why do non Malays/muslims have to accept second class status in this country? Even Obama with a Kenyan father is accepted as an American, and can aspire to be the next US President.
Grow up Maverick!
AYO, the result of the election was if I am not mistaken: DAP 18, PKR 7 and PAS 6.
The seat should go to DAP first follow by PKR and last to PAS.Thats the rule of the game. The one with the higest seat should be chosen.
If the rule is not followed, in the future, it dosent matter who wins and how many seat is won. Thats dangerous.
Ofcourse they are upset.
Shame on You Kit Siang. I thought you are the national leader, but you are just stupid selfish oposition fellow.
Was there interference on the Perak Sultan's family on this decision by Barisan Nasional knowing the volitility of PKR/DAP/PAS coalition?
Let watch the show!
The politic is dancing!!!
The sultan chose PAS fellow. Then waht is the problem as far as he's from Barisan Rakyat.
Why that fellow was chosen, ask the sultan la. Why are you so arrogant?
This PAS fellow graduated from Birmingham and got primary and secondary education in chinese school. So what else do you want?

BN got influence or not?
Politic is dancing
Welcome to the real worlds. To LKS, politics is a Weiqi(Go board game).
MCA can always attack DAP base on the ground the "support of PAS Islamic policies".
In the pass, LKS must wait for the mainstream media to react, and that is slow and BAD BAD BAD.
Thanks to the 5th media, blog, LKS know the people reaction ASAP. Make the move in 24 hours... just read his respond to the blog world :)
LKS;
Please stay away from Perak. You are not Perakian. Let Perakian make the decision. Concentrate to your Penang to show your model of Malaysia for malaysian. If not PAS with 'Caring Goverment' will put the candidate in your traditional seat for the next election. i'm sure, i'll vote for mature, cleaned and tested PAS candidate.
WITH THINGS HAPPENING IN PG & S'GOR, CREATING DIVERSIONS LA... POLITIC IS ABOUT THE ART OF MANEUVERING.
LIM GUAN ENG ONCE SAID :
"IF THEY REMAIN QUIET, PEOPLE MIGHT THINK, THERE IS SOMETHING TO HIDE"
...beeranyone
politician semua sama, melayu ka..cina ka..india ka..semua janji manis bila nak suruh rakyat pangkah depa..dah bagi chance jadi kelam kabut..rakyat jugak yang di perbodohkan...celaka betoi..
Lim Kit Siang was trapped by BN tactic!!!
Lim Kit Siang/DAP responded too hastily.
BN still much more experience in politics:)
BN will work around the clock to dismantle to volatile coalition of PKR/DAP/PAS
Politic is dancing
Semua-nya OK!
LKS had apologise to my Sultan and Regent and I, a Perakian fully support my Sultan MB candidate.
I believe the MB will a fair, clean and righteous person or we, Perakian will vote him out in 5 years time!
HEI MAVE,
LESS THAN 12HRS - 900 COMMENTS IN UNCLE KIT BLOG & DON'T SAYS HE NEVER LISTEN TO HIS READERS.
40 YEARS HE HAS BEEN SHOUTED AT, SCREAMED AT, INSULTED, ASKED TO GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY IN PARLIAMNENT & ALSO MAKING KAMUNTING HIS 2ND HOME. FOR A LESSER MEN THEY WOULD CRUMBLE & FADE AWAY BUT AMAZINGLY HE STILL AROUND...
LIKE HIM OR HATE HIM, I STILL THINK HE IS A COOL DUDE & VERY RELEVANT.
I' a supporter of Barisan Rakyat. But this "expired medicine" Kit Siang should retire & give way to younger DAP persons like Guan Eng, Perak's DAP chairpersons etc.. in order that DAP shall progress together with other component Barisan Rakyat parties.
Similarly, other "expired medicine" from PAS should also retired & give way to younger & open minded PAS persons.
Ycg,
I understand principles; but there are imminent issues and paranoias. We need to take a step at a time and deal with reality. DAP had to be pragmatic and we need to allow a new political wave and change to evolve.
Rosso,
There are a number of issues unresolved between PAS and DAP, and between Husam Musa and Hadi Awang. It is not Kit Siang alone in this crisis. let's be patient as the mainstream media is hard at work spinning discontent and stirring racial conflicts.
Asyraf,
I am sorry for I do not agree that LKS is Islamophobic. There was a gentlemen agreement between Husam Musa and LKS but was not honored by Hadi Awang.
CMBSS,
We will see a clear picture after the smoke screen is removed. meanwhile the mainstream media and UMNO is working extremely hard to create tension. We all are sucked into it.
Ewoon,
Kit Siang reacted too fast and he regretted it. Let's see new development and understand better.
Helen,
Events and news are spinning out of control largely because the mainstream media, MCA and UMNO is working very hard to crush the BR.
Gan,
KTemoc did not read the whole statement from Dr Syed Husin which is not the same as Nathaniel Tan reported.
Zewt,
It is not racial biases but political cooperation between PAS and DAP issue which is not resolved as yet.
Billy,
People are frustrated because they have high expectations from BR which unfortunately did not have electoral pact.
Bayi,
You are right. Goodwill and sacrifices are lacking amongst the 3-parties in the BR.
Sharif Masahor,
Jangan kita sedih. Ini adalah sebahagian dari politiks. Things should be better in a couple more hours time.
Lucia,
Pragmatism and political reality is part and parcel of a plural society. We must learn to co-exist and not look at political positions and power as the ultimate end.
Gerald Khor,
You did the right thing. DAP & Kit Siang was just unwise in the nick of that time. It will work out well.
Anak Merdeka,
LKS is not a racist but the issue is highly emotional and concerns something that is sensitive to race and community of the majority.
Hopeful,
Ya, it is about power; about power-sharing and goodwill. But this is something that needs time to foster which unfortunately is not on their side.
Warrior2,
We can understand the rule and the conventions of the political game; but reality and pragmatism of a peaceful society isn't reliant on such rules and conventions. There is a need for common sense and goodwill. Our cultures and customs can evolve but not changed radically to cause tension and conflicts which are insidious and disruptive.
CMBSS,
No, we have the most intellectual and wise Sultan and Regent in Perak. Trust our ruler.
Moo_t,
You are right. In this age of globalization where the speed of information is as fast as lightning, LKS must learn to be more careful and patient.
Chicken Ball,
I supoort your statement and I want to give Nizar a chance to prove his leadership.
Yan,
Let's give the informal coalition a chance to work as a team. It is not easy for PKR-PAS-DAP. There's too much expectation and quick results.
When I read all the views here especially from my Chinese fellows, I am touched at how they are very open and think the best for their country.
Yes I think LKS should rethink back and work together Malays-Chiense-Indians, or else we will never win from the giants of BN.
