So Pakatan Rakyat is a marriage of convenience between DAP, PKR and PAS to be a better coalition than BN. All seemed hunky dory from the front but do they really get along? Just look at the possibility (or is it emergence?) of froggies in recent times.
PKR is all for party hopping, in fact, they encouraged BN MPs to defect and hop over to Pakatan anytime, preferably around this time.
However, it seems that certain leaders in DAP are not so accepting of hopping frogs. They don’t seem so fond of frogs at all. I am not making baseless accusations here. Here’s the proof…
See? Okay, so you may ask who is one DAP leader compared to the whole party right? Err…what if it is the DAP national chairman who said the same thing?
Karpal said DAP don’t welcome renegades to the party but PKR is all for it.
Do the leaders of all three parties agree to the same principles, policies, etc? Or they had jumped into it without really discussing about policies, principles, etc? What about code of conduct? Did they rush into this ‘marriage’ blindly?
Well, I think they did rush into it. They should have gotten some things ironed out before taking the leap. Now, the PKR de facto leader is going all out to oust BN of the federal government with the help of defections or frogs. So, I wonder whatever happened to Karpal’s ‘We don’t welcome renegades to the party’? Does that mean it only applies to DAP and not Pakatan Rakyat? But isn’t DAP part of Pakatan? Or are they planning to follow after BN where its components can say one thing and mean another thing…
Let’s not even go into some of the differing views between DAP and PAS. Whatever it is, I feel that DAP and PKR and PAS, as the members of Pakatan Rakyat, must work out all the tiny details of their ‘marriage’.
After all, they don’t want to leave more chance for the BN to attack their credibility, do they?
BN had 51 years and still, there are so much problems within the coalition. Pakatan Rakyat is fairly new. A newborn, in fact. So it is still fresh enough to clear up any gray areas and disparity in policies. It will be much easier for it to change and be better and stronger than BN.
As we all know, it is much easier for a baby to learn new things than for a 51-year-old.
News update:
By the way, Teresa Kok has finally been released!







The throne is near
The knights’ subtlety differences
Eating it or welcoming it as pets
Into the crowded house
The human frogs
They can turn into useful pawns
Like them or hate them
The knights must agree
For the throne is near
When Destiny arrives
Needful things of each knight
It has to put aside
For the overall good of the brotherhood
The ultimate aim
Dethrone the present black knight
Put a white knight to rule
The kingdom be fair to tall
The other knights
Yes they should keep their needs in check
The momentums get rolling
When the black knight retreating
Hit the road forget about petty issues
Get the kingdom
Then decide the nitty gritty details
Foong says: The throne seems so near but yet, it is quite so far. Perhaps the days to come will bring it closer still
I’m so glad Teresa Kok has finally been released. I hope she sues them all – the paper, the politician and BN for all she’s been through.
