First shot in Pakatan war fired in Sabah?
The first shot that may soon wreck and break Pakatan has apparently been fired when Inanam assemblyman Dr Roland Chia made known in his Facebook and Twitter posting of his intention to quit his seat.

I am on holiday from work, but as always as a journalist, there is no off-day nor real holiday; once turned on, your nose for news never stops smelling and your ‘spider sense’ so to speak never stops tingling. Tingle! Tingle! Tingle!
Anyhow, I was busy running errands on my enforced holiday on account of HR policy on carried forward leave with my usual coterie of friends today, when news about the issue reached my nose or ears for that matter.
Indeed I was intrigued as I drove our little group on our errand and listened to the news read out from the display of his smart phone by my hometown buddy Ah Lan Gor who sat next to me.
“I tell you mah. This is the shot heard around Malaysia one. Like that American Revolution thing ah. Sure one this is the first bullet fired in the Pakatan War,” exploded the now reformed former Penang triad gangster.
His muscled arms flexing as the dragon tattoo showing through his singlet seems to writhe in response.
“Betui ka?” I asked trying to provoke an explanation.
But instead of Ah Lan Gor’s Chinaman voice the, the well-manicured diction of my learned London-educated lawyer friend Zachariah Hassan answered.
“Really old chap, Ah Lan is right. Indeed. Who would benefit from this if not factions in a Pakatan war?” he asked.
Zachariah, who just only returned from the land of rain and cloudy, brandished his unlit cigar around from the right hand side of my car’s back seat as he spun his tale.
“You see, usually this mysterious resignation from the party is enticed by BN to be ruling coalition friendly, but this time, there is little for BN to gain.
“If we are to assume he was coerced into resigning, it would be from a Pakatan member party looking to profit I would think,” he surmised.
