PAS, PKR AND DAP-MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE?

The political cooperation within PKR, PAS and DAP appear to be the new characteristic of the country's 12th general elections. The question remains: Is the political cooperation between PKR, PAS and DAP is just a marriage of convenience?

Ironically, PAS positions itself as an Islamic party that aims to establish Malaysia as a country based on Islamic legal theory but with the opposed of DAP, PAS now portraits the welfare state.


On the other hand, DAP recognizes itself as a multiracial party with the concept of Malaysian Malaysia but in reality, DAP is heavily dependent on Chinese voters. Because a true Malaysian Malaysia party, it will contest in any constituency regardless of the population composition of the area and yet, DAP are mostly concentrated contesting in Chinese-majority constituencies.


How about PKR? It seems that PKR is purely for Anwar Ibrahim, nothing but purely for Anwar Ibrahim which are not communal-centric like DAP and PAS. So could the cooperation be seen as the marriage of convenience?

Oh ho, Muslim can marry 4. PAS, PKR AND DAP JUST ONLY THREE, CAN'T COMPARE TO BN WHICH IS 14. IF THE THREE MARRY ARE THE MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE, THEN 14 IS MARRIAGE OF WHAT? is it marriage of power?

The formation of BN also is marriage of convenience but the difference is the power interest keep them together. If they lost the power, they will be divorce too.
