So much talk about Anwar Ibrahim's Pakatan Rakyat taking over the federal government since March 8. I am getting bored with all this cheap talk. Where is the action, man?
Yes, Anwar has been siad to be going around the world talking to BN MPs and even a cabinet minister. In a battle for the prime prize of the federal corridor of power, it seems it was Anwar that is keeping the attack on the BN fort but as shown in many historical wars - physical and political, while a warring army or party are launching the attacks, it need to be aware of counter attacks. No one knows for sure who will triumph until the last count.
If Anwar is too over confidence and arrogant himself as UMNO did before the 308 Tsunami, he might as well be swept out by defections from his own coalition! He can't denied that UMNO still controls the government machinery and also the GLCs that can dole out sweets and honeys to many of his people to cover ever rising expenses to keep their own cronies afloat.
Anyhow if the BN MPs who are neither UMNO and PBB decided to jump ship within this few weeks, Anwar will be drilling all the way to Petronas to reduce the petrol price! Is it possible for MCA's (15 MPs), MIC (3 MPs), Gerakan (2 MPs), Sabah's SAPP (2), LDP (1), PBS (3), UPKO(4) and PBRS(1) and Sarawak's SUPP(6), SPDP (5) and PRS(4) joining the Pakatan Rakyat coalition government? With 46 seats defection from these non UMNO or PBB parties, a new coalition will be formed with Pakatan Rakyat 128 seats versus UMNO-PBB alliance's 94 seats. BN would have been irrelevant by then.
As many would realised by now, there is no permanent loyalty or friends in partisan politics. We shall wait then. Patience is an virtue.
