The DAP-led Pakatan Ali Baba
Salleh Said Keruak
The perception that the opposition tried to create is that Pakatan is a Malay-led coalition and not a DAP-led coalition. This, however, has been proven to be a fallacy as it is apparent that Lim Kit Siang is very much in control of Pakatan and he dictates what happens.
Many now realise that both Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim are mere props and, like most Malays in DAP, are being used as mascots to attract Malay voters when, in fact, they both have no say in Pakatan since neither are Members of Parliament.
Basically, as Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, who saw through this charade, said today, Mahathir and Anwar created the perfect Ali Baba situation for DAP to hide behind. DAP knows that on its own it cannot woo the Malay voters so they need Mahathir and Anwar to do that.
