Anwar have been Checkmated by Pak Lah?

16 September comes, 16 September goes.
BN still in power, and Pakatan Rakyat are in woes.

There could be much speculation about why Anwar have not revealed the 31 names yet, and none of the existing MPs have defected yet. But, if the script goes well, Anwar should have announced it already. As Pak Lah have stated yesterday, if Anwar already have the defectors in line, why need to request to see him. Anwar and his goons can stormed into Putrajaya already.

In my opinion is that, the Prime Minister seat is now not in the hand of Rakyat, but more to the hands of these 31 MPs. Is that democratic or what? These 31 MPS or can I say 0.00001% of Malaysia's population has become a power shifter and can decide for us who will govern the country. And we as a citizen are only a spectator to these power greedy fellas. Anwar knows this very well and that's why he is been chasing these MPs like no one business. Anwar must persuade these MPs to discard their integrity and honor in order for them to jump ship. What possible reason and strong enough motivation for them to hop to the other side? I can only think of two major factor - Better Position and Better Money. Because if these 31 MPS are really a noble person, and thinking of the Rakyat, they will not jump ship. It is because they are elected to the parliamentary seat by the supporters of BN and the people who believe in BN. By jumping ship, they are betraying the trust of the people who put them there. So, to persuade an MP to jump ship, Anwar must find MPs that have no disregards of the people who elected them and selfish enough to take the bait by Pakatan Rakyat. So, Anwar, please reveal the names, I definitely would not vote for this hopping MPs ever again.

Anwar Ibrahim: The Art of War

Anwar Ibrahim must probably be strategising when he is in the solitary confinement of his prison for six years. The grand master plan must be entitled "How to become Malaysia's next Prime Minister". So, far the blueprint has been executed well. Let's look at this strategy that he probably used in PRU12.

"Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." - Sun Tzu

Before election, BN seems to be overconfident and have been targeting to win Kelantan. They assume that the opposition will not be united as before. They even underestimate the influence of Anwar Ibrahim. And Anwar plays the card well. By appearing not united and even not a threat to BN, it makes Pak Lah and the gang even more confident to put all of their resources to win back Kelantan. But, it seems its not Kelantan that they should be worried about but the entire states as well.

These are another excerpt from the famous Art Of War by Sun Tzu:-
1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?
2) Which of the two generals has most ability?
3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven and Earth?
4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?
5) Which army is stronger?
6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained?
7) In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?

By means of these seven considerations I can forecast victory or defeat. - Sun Tzu

The Pakatan Rakyat has been tackling these strategies very well. Let's see here.

1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?
People sees that the moral value is more towards Pakatan Rakyat than BN. This is made
worse by the Lingam tape, Chua Soi Lek scandal and etc.

2) Which of the two generals has most ability?
Charismatically, Anwar seems to be seen more able compared to Pak Lah.

3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven and Earth?
PAS got this one covered. ;)

4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?
Before this, BN seems to have the upper hand. but BN flip flop decision in recent events have tarnished this image.

5) Which army is stronger?
BN stills holds the majority seat and therefore appears stronger. But, this may change if there are party crossover by BN components.

6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained?
BN still wins on this but please be remind that Anwar was once acting Prime Minister. Therefore, the credentials still holds for both sides.

7) In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?

In tackling this issue, both sides should be fulfilling their manifesto as promised. Whoever sides constantly fulfills the manifesto, should win the battle.

So, from this strategy, who appears to be winning?

Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim - Saviour or Witchhunter?

Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim. A name that I just knew after the election. At first, I thought that this guy must be good. Appointed as the new Menteri Besar of Selangor, he can finally bring a wind of change to Selangor and bring better governence. Being a former CEO of PNB, he must have good business acumen and therefore be able to develop the economy of Selangor. That all of course my positive impression until the proposed RM100 million babi in Sepang came about. I was frustrated on how he handled that thing. It shows a weakness in the administration and the attitude that the current state Government have. If the rakyat does not like it, blame the past administration. What the .... ? Have you forgotten that you are now THE STATE GOVERNMENT and not the opposition anymore. Why make a press statement saying that Khir Toyo's past administration approved it while you currently have the power to stop the project? It really looks like you just want to cuci tangan only but in the sametime approved something just for the sake of pleasing the DAP.

Another event was how he handled Radio Selangor. Throwing them out of your building because of them refusing to give you a slot seems very childish. What happen to diplomatic ways? And finally the digging up of past exco expenditure. Is it me or I think that the current state exco is more interested in witch hunt and personal vendetta than focussing on administring a good state government?
