Hunger Strike in Perak!

How ironic that the current, legally declared MB of Perak was reported to once liken himself to the great Mahatma Gandhi, especially given the hunger strike launched by his "predecessor" Nizar. The tables are empty but turned no less as we witness the maturing face of Malaysia's opposition alliance.

Many in Perak, no make that many Malaysians, are unamused at the current state of affairs and by going hungry, Pakatan Rakyat shows just how tuned in they are to the hunger of Malaysians to have a voice for our future. It is not a future for the chinese or indian community, but rather an appeal for the safeguard of all Malaysians! We are fed-up with the cheap dramatic claims like those on the front of today's papers. We are not buying concepts of 1,2 or even 3 Malaysians when the focus should be what is good 4Malaysians (RT @can't recall liao).

What About Our Priorities?

As a country, we join the world in worrying about the economy and shudder at the prospect of a global viral pandemic - the H1N1. Yet instead of keeping their eye on the ball, our leaders are embroiled in a state assembly battle that should not have been one in the first place... maybe time for Malaysia to stop focusing on no.1... applies whichever way you read it...

Hopefully a follow-up shortly from me, on what we can do...

Setting the Precedence for Future Govts

Absolute power corrupts... no matter how much one tries to reason it out. While I am not sure if the "new" Perak government can even be declared a winner, I am sure of one thing... it will not last more than 1 term. How then will the "outgoing" government be treated will be a reflection of what we saw yesterday...
