A response to John Lee

Mr. John Lee (JL) has just published an article in the Malaysian Insider titled "Barisan is arrogant and drunk for power". I think our beloved JL, who is a third-year student of economics at Dartmouth College in the United States should not comment on such an issue when he is so far abroad. Let me just refresh his memory a little bit post March 8 2008 when the oppostion won big in the elections. I remember a certain opposition leader, who toured the country countless time telling the people that he was going to form the goverment on September 16 2008 with the defection of MP's from the ruling coalition.

So who is actually arrogant and drunk for power. Granted the opposition won 5 states, the people voted for you in those states. Therefore handle those state well. Work for the people regardless of ethnicity, profesion and political background. Of those 5 assemblymen that became independent, I dont think UMNO or BN should ever accept them into any of the coalition parties. It would do more harm then good because it will create infighting in the UMNO divisions on who should be the candidate for the coming elections. I

ronically 4 of the assemblymen that became independant are all of 1 ethnic, why is that?are this people easily bribed or because they are fed up being in PR due to some unknown reasons. On the suggestion that Barisan should wait for the PR to convene the state assembly and then pass a solution of no confidence in wishful thinking. What if PR does not allow Barisan to do that by ignoring a resolution the be passed? But i do agree that a fresh election should be carried out in Perak so that the people can vote again for the goverment that they prefer. Whoever loses should accept defeat graciously and prepare for the GE.
