” ● EITHER to rule the country in equal and equitable partnership with PKR and the DAP on the currently agreed common agenda”
There should be doubts, as in anything political, about PAS. But their leaders took great courage in breaking barriers, amongst the PR, most if not all of which the UMNO people have veered away from. You do have ppl amongst BN working together but all of which do tell on their bad politics and concealed causes.
The present thread that weaves through the PR tripartite has seen subtle changes that have frightened BN, and some of their members have even begun to panic. Against the backdrop of what BN has been doing all these decades, Malaysia must have puzzled many democratic countries why change could not have come earlier. After all the statements were all forward looking. It should have come at the start of the millennium. The fact that it didn’t should not surprise some as those decades grew roots amongst Malaysians.
The PR might have to trim branches first, as they kindle confidence amongst swathes of voters in the larger elelctoral groups, before they start uprooting the old tree and win over the rural and suburban people. If you hear demands from youthful voters in Malaya, it would be difficult for rural Sarawakians or even rural Malayans to be swayed. But the crowd numbers in the ceramahs are encouraging. And this is not because PAS alone or any of the other two by themselves that did it.
What has moved up to now has not sprung on Malaysia, but it’s surely and solidly moving and ready in the wings. Come GE13, you will be thrilled when after the votes count, a voice cracks through Radio Free Sarawak and say …”Houston! We have lift-off!”…:wink:
