SAPP No Confidence Motion - Has It Started The Ball Rolling?

Has the ball started rolling with SAPP's announcement? Will the path for PR to take the executive power finally be cleared?

Well, Nasri obviously doesn't think it is possible to do the no-confidence motion on Monday. According to him, the shortest possible notice to be given requires evocation of Standing Order Rule 18(1) where the emergence motion has to have a definite matter, urgent and of public interest but he qualifies that the Speaker is the one who makes the call.

From the way he said it, doesn't it makes one wonder, isn't this a definite matter as the PM lost the confidence of some of his soon to be former colleagues hence he shouldn't test if he still has the majority support? And that it is urgent since the rakyat's suffering needs to be addressed since like yesterday? And of course, which public here wouldn't be interested to finally get to see real changes since Mr Big Ears have not fulfilled most, if not all his promises? So what is the Speaker's excuse?

Meanwhile, being an old hand in politics, Uncle Lim sees little possibility for that to happen to since the Speaker would be at loggerhead with the BN-led federal government while Karpal wonders SAPP has enough numbers. The Sun today quoted Shahrir where he felt the the chances for it to be tabled will be "between nil and impossible."

As for me, even if it cannot be done on Monday, the present government will survive for another 14 days before it faces the reality of the situation. There will be much political jockeying and statements made in the next 14 days. And all this is because of March 8 results and refusal to accept the reality of the situation. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

I wonder what is Dr M's insight into this? Just checked his blog but there is nothing so far. Hmm...

Oh well, Malaysia waited 50 years for this, what is another 2 weeks?

Meanwhile, the rakyat continue to suffer under all these sandiwaras wondering how to make ends meet since their belt has no more holes to fasten to while GLC CEOs under Khazanah stable are going to see very substantive pay increase this year.

Such is Bolehland...
