The Fall of Perak

Today Malaysia's politic has a new chapter into its' already humorous book. When every leaders around the globe worrying about how the global recession might affect their countries and people, our leaders are still busying playing "frog".

Najib and gang are busy getting the frogs to jump to their side of the fence while leaders of PR trying unsuccessfully to stop the frogs from jumping there. One of the reasons for jumping according to The Star newspaper was because she was not given an Exco position and also not given a.....Toyota Camry!!
She's the person shaking hands with Najib~!

Can you believe it?! A toyota camry, a car we wouldn't even dream of having here in Melbourne. Terrible frogs!

On Friday 3pm, the new Mentri Besar (Chief Minister) will be sworn in. So PR lost the state of Perak!

The word "defection" or "frogs" are not something very new in Malaysia's politics but this time it's a desperate act by BN to gain control back of Perak. However, the question is, is this the wise move to gain control??

Personally, I don't think so. This will hurt BN more in the long run, creating more hatred towards BN by the voters, whom will remember this and vote them out in the next general elections.

PR tasting their own "defections" medicine now. However, I'm glad that we didn't have the major exodus like what Anwar has claimed. If that happens, PR reputation would just go down the drain.

PR should accept defeat and continue to work harder towards the next general election. From the looks of things, they can benefit from BN's wrong move this time and capitalised it in the next GE.

Hopefully, our leaders in the country can focus on the people more than those greedy for power...sigh
