Something is rotten in the State of Selangor

Will Pakatan Rakyat self-destruct in Selangor? As they have done in Perak? Will they go to the 13th General Election ready to do battle with Barisan Nasional? Or will they go again to the people as the under dog and do what UMNO is now doing on bended knees with the Malays …begging for support?

The euphoria of victory from the last general election is a distant memory for all of us today but not, it seems for Pakatan Rakyat. Victory in by-elections does you no favours in a general election. Too quickly Pakatan Rakyat has claimed the 2008 victory as their own. Too quickly Pakatan Rakyat has taken the mantle of government in the five states with much promise to do good for the people and far too quickly Pakatan Rakyat politicians have made true this truism: that man in his voluntary actions is motivated purely by self interest rather then a feeling of helping others – putting self interest before national interest!

And if this is true how can we demand they put national interest before self? Well at least we demand that they do their ‘self interest…ing’ behind close door. We have not question PR leaders what money they have? How expensive is the house they live in? How many cars do they have? Are they rich? For now we do not question how they are going to finance their election. After UMNO we expect them to know better.

But this we will do.

When PR loses Perak we want to know why and how it happened. What Najib did was is simply politics. And as politicians you should know better and be able to take care of your own turf.

When you lose your YB’s we want to know how and why? Telling us that BN pays them RM$2 million each is not relevant. Show us the trial of money or the cheque. When the goats are already in the pen for the night and then somehow manage to escape during the night – it is not the broken pen that is to be blamed – the goatherd takes responsibility. You Anwar is the goatherd.
