Amanah my ass

Amanah: Sikap bertanggungjawab yang menimbulkan kepercayaan orang lain.

Aye mates. Nothing states it better than our very own moral textbook. Seen and approved of by the very politicians that defy its principal. Aye moral is the most useless stupid boring subject in the world with periods in my school mainly dedicated to finishing our add maths home work.

Barely a year has passed since the "great" march elections...... a dawn of a new age some have said. Others said its was a defining moment in our history. The opposition destroyed BN's 2 thirds majority, gained 5 seats. The once infallible giants of BN were then seen as weak divided corrupt. Then came the "retirement" of PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi then the rise of DPM Najib Razak. Still other bloggers thought surely Najib was too tainted too corrupt to unite the now fragmented BN much less launch a crossover attack.

It was this moment that all eyes turn to a little mining state called Perak. For a year now Bn has taunted that they would only need 3 more seats to gain back government. Infact it seemed much much more possible than Anwars grandiose 30 seat plan to takeover the government. And what can I say? Less than a year of opposition rule and it is already back into Bn's pocket unless of course Pakatan Rakyat can mysteriously find enough funds.........but that is another story.

The PKR MPs have defected so have the independents, Bn now has its majority in the state. There are tears and there are riots. And now the once illustrious leader of Pakatan Anwar Ibrahim whom barely half a year ago proudly proclaimed he himself had enough MP to takeover not just a state but the entire federal government is now silent. The same goes for the res of the opposition. They have been silenced. 11 months of optimism has come to this blow. For an alliance proudly standing for the politics of the new and future they have been soundly defeated by politics of the old world. Where bullshit talks and money walks.

When Anwar Ibrahim was planning his government takeover the Star NST and basically every widely distributed newspaper was vehemently chastising him for being a coward, a low life, a man without any integrity or moral values, calling his very idea of crossing parties "undemocratic" and "irresponsible" and betraying the trust of the rakyat. Of course the opposition using their biggest tool the blogs were widely defending their stand that the government was corrupt, leaderless and above all racist.

The funny thing is and this doesn't happen alot trust on this sort of issues i agree 100 percent with both sides story's. Yes, crossing parties post elections is the most cowardly back boneless morally bankrupt thing you can do as a politician.... and that is saying alot. Unless your party turns out to be neo-Nazis. Its because if the rakyat voted for you because you were a Pakatan or BN you bloody well stay there or resign and stand for re-election for your new party of choice.

Oddly enough now both sides are of course singing a different tune. The government i.e the newspapers are already proclaiming what a good move for the country this is. How really those MPs that had crossed over had done the right thing after all. And the opposition has now gone back to their comfortable pre March 2008 stance which is whine and grind about how just about everything BN has done was racist, unconstitutional, corrupt and stupid.(Not that I disagree with them)

Well, tut tut tut. When will politician ever learn. Never get boring in Malaysia does it? This is bolehland after all. But we must see the future repercussions of this event. It signifies alot in the long term. It is ... as it should seem the rise of Najib Razak UMNO's and BN's true leader. Lets face the man politically has it all . Related to 2 prime ministers by blood and marriage, married to a royalty, insanely rich(by no legal means) and of course he is the grandson of one my heroes and the founder of UMNO and BN Tunku Onn Jafaar. Badawi? pah he is old news. Anwar? For the once future prime minister and current opposition leader he seems eerily quiet about this.

Is this it for Pakatan Rakyat? To be remembered for ever in history as just a small blimp in BNs gigantic dominance of Malaysia's politics. And as for Bn is this finally their big comeback after nearly a year of bad polls and slipping power. Can najib razak unite this once fragmented part back to the political giant it once was.... We shall see....We shall see but for now only time can tell.....
