The plot becomes more and more interesting.... Still no decision on the MB's request to dissolve the State Assembly. Of all the 'monarchies' in M'sia, I've always had great respect for this particular Sultan of my home state. Let's see how he'll decide.
With this current changing bedflers thingy going on... probably best to dissolve and let the people choose. Everyone seems to be clamouring to serve... suddenly they seem so noble. But these people seem to have such short memories.... or maybe they don't want to remember. Money politics is in many people's mind at this time.... who has been bought? Who has sold out? After all if the allegations are true, a couple of millions.... why not??? Darn....I'd be damned if I say I won't buckle if that much money is being thrown at my face!
Good and clean governance.... ethical and upright people. All that possible?? Politics is dirty... can clean people stay clean in politics??? Why do people want power? Is it really to serve the people or their own interests? Why did kings hold on to their throne in days of old? Was it to serve the poor peasant sods or their own ambitions? Were they that noble?
And those YBs who have been jumping around like frogs the last few days.... have they no shame??? Where are their principles? ... oh I forgot, they never had. If they don't believe in the party they won their seats with, then resign as YB. Join a new party... take part in the election under the wings of their new party. If they believe the people want them, they will be re-elected. But they know... the chances of themselves being elected... so they take the path that benefits them. And in taking them in, BN will just enforce the perception of a corrupt party .... that already is in many, many people's minds. Now it's being reinforced. Najib will do BN a greater injustice by wanting this quick coup... for all we know, he may be remembered as the one who brought BN to its knees.
Even Tun Mahathir has the sense to see the harm that this will do to BN. Can't the present BN leaders see it? The greed.... the glee... to think that they've 'stolen' the silver state back..... my mind goes back to Judas Iscariot and his 30 silver pieces. And oh! What befell him after the the sell out?
Anyway, Najib may well go down in history the one who nailed the coffin of BN or bring money politics to a new height... or well, we could continue to do what we are doing now, be the proverbial ostrich and write history from our own perspective.
Update: (5/2/09) 3.00 pm
So, the Sultan ruled in favour of BN *scratch head*... BN has former PR and own frogs for bedflers... interesting times. Probably not the best arrangements since a strong government would be good for current economic situations. But then again, maybe with such kinds of arrangements both sides will be out to come clean... though on BN's side it always looks kinda hazy. BN has always had the advantage... from money to agencies; all the way up..

Lessons for me. One- It is super duper hard to be a selfless, high integrity person, let alone when $$$$$$$$$$ is being offered in secret. Wow! Never before have I seen such hugh amount. Think, what can I do with it. Lesson Two- Never ever give a or any chance to the devil who is lurking somewhere in the dark 24 hours a day enticing, persuading, wooing to lose my principled cause.
Those four froggie scumbags, you bring untold shame to yourself, family, relatives and friends. 'Congrat' you will go down the history as traitors to the ppl you are suppose to serve.
both parties also crap - pakatan for starting the "katak" game and bn for taking part in the "katak" game. but i think much more shame to bn in this case for winning the "katak" game and taking 2 people who is being charged for corruption into their fold. what are they thinking!
i saw a picture of najib 'unveilling' the 4 katak and somehow i get drawn to look at hee. she's standing there will a sad look on her face... hard to interprete.
yup... agree with you. they even took back the one who defected from them... jump out then jump back in. But it also reminds me of the DAP Buntong State Assemblyman who jumped threatened to quit the party... our politicians basically got not much class.
