So What If DAP FINALLY Decide to Be Part Of Barisan Rakyat?

Sigh. It is only 3 days and some "saviour" of Chinese speaks up. Apparently, he has an issue with DAP lying. Yup, DAP lied. Shocked? The Star Online reported:

The DAP has revealed its “true face” to the people by cooperating with PAS to form the next state government, Perak MCA chief Datuk Ong Ka Chuan said.

All this while, the DAP has been denying that it is working with PAS when they sought the support of the Chinese community in Perak during the campaigning period,” he said.

After getting their votes, the DAP is doing otherwise,” he said yesterday when commenting on the new ruling coalition government of the DAP, PKR and PAS.

You had your chances yet you smiled with a muffle

In fact, uncle Kit himself drew the boundary in his blog. But before we start condemning DAP, let us ask ourselves this. Is it really an issue for DAP to form Perak state government with PAS? Did we vote, in support of DAP because of their claims of no electoral pact with PAS or to see the BN-led governments punished for their claim to be moderate and a party for all yet led to:

i) Rising crime rates,

ii) Judiciary being beholden to the ruling party (thanks to revelation from Lingam tapes),

iii) Indifference to the plight of ordinary citizens affected by rise in prices of everyday goods,

iv) Blatant abuse of power like Zakaria building his palace in Klang and PKFZ scandal,

v) Outright state sanctioned (incidentally MCA could have spoke up but chose to remain quiet) erosion of non-Malay and non-Muslim rights, and

vi) Breakdown of national unity based on hegemonic divide and rule policy practiced by racial based BN?


Well, I have no issue with DAP forming government with PKR and PAS. It is really inevitable since DAP works with PKR anyway. It is about time DAP realise the reality and stop living in denial. DAP need to work with PAS to bring about the greater good for everyone in Malaysia. Personally, at least PAS politicans are honest by making their stand on Islamic state clear (which have since been watered down as they realised the geopolitical and communal reality of the rest of Malaysia). Unlike some party lead by a certain Mr Big Ears who claim to represent all and moderate as well yet allowed for:

i) Lina Joy and Revathi Massosai be denied their religious freedom,

ii) R Subashini and S Shamala be denied a say in the conversion of their children?


iii) non-Muslim heirs of N Moorthy be denied the right to inherit the estate of N Moorthy because N Moorthy is a Muslim?


Yup, this "saviour" loves rhetorics. When asked why have he not fulfill any of his development promises to Kinta Valley folks made back in the 11th general election, his only excuse for fulfilling none is because he was not elected as their member of parliament.

Anyway, we still need a watchdog to ensure the 5 opposition-led states stick to the game plan of the bosses i.e. the rakyat. A few Lassie wannabes will have to do for now...
