Though he's disabled now due to assassination attempt in 2005, his mouth certainly is still up to his title as the Tiger of Jelutong! Sometimes his remarks are so direct, often it creates tension and confusions for those who heard it.
Not saying he's wrong in asking Anwar to step down because Anwar truly has a lot of responsibilities for all that has happened. Anwar doesn't seems repented too!
Some top leaders in DAP are showing inconsistent stands over the defections issues as well. Initially, they didn't say much about it when Anwar was boasting great exodus, now they're complaining like mad about what has happened.
Will Karpal as the chairman of DAP be able to steer DAP into the right path again? Stand firm and consistent in their stand? Or will DAP fall into the trap of greed for power?
With last General Election's result came unexpectedly good, some must have felt sayang (pity) that oppositions didn't topple the government. However, as what they have been preached ages ago as well as recently, they should only topple the Government with the support of the people, not by crossovers.
Patience is an important virtue, however it seems that opportunists seem to always forgotten about it. Most politicians are opportunist including myself, I believe am an opportunist too (not in unethical ways though :P).
However, with Karpal's recent remarks on the Sultan subject to the process of the law and capable of being sued, he certainly doesn't gain more popularity from other organisations. Some quarters have suggested that Karpal get ISA for what he has spoken.
For one, it's bloody ridiculous to simply ISA anyone based just because they're emotionally uncontrollable! If this is a threat to national security, please ISA the whole nation as I believe EVERYONE, even for once in our lives, have criticised our leaders as a piece of shit! Oh wait, does that mean calling them a piece of shit in toilets are OK, as long as not in public?
Secondly, how much longer do we need to learn that supremacy of the King are not what it is used to be now that we're in a democratic country (though I doubt Malaysia is truly a democratic country by practise). Sure, the Kings of those states earn respect and are labelled as "royal families". That doesn't mean they're immune or above the law.
Ever heard of 天子犯法与庶民同罪 ? If the "Royal Families" are immune to the law, the country will be a chaotic place because they'll have no respect to it.
Karpal will not be the favorite for all but we certainly need his boldness in these times of uncertainty. Will the Lim father & son support him on this cause?
