The MCA MPs will defect to Pakatan Rakyat was merely another political gimmick that has taken place offered by PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He tries to generate political relevance for PKR and keeping the public on tenterhooks under Malaysia domestic political environments.
Yesterday, a politico uncritically reported that de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told journalists that several MCA MPs will crossover to Pakatan Rakyat soon.
“I can safely say that several MCA MPs will join us soon,” he told journalists after opening a service centre in Bayan Baru, Penang.
However, as with previous assertions of the same variety, that was all he was prepared to reveal. Anwar has been keeping the public on tenterhooks since the general election on March 8, with repeated claims of crossovers by Barisan Nasional (BN) parliamentarians, especially those in Sabah.
He said that discreet meetings have been held in Hong Kong, Manila and Singapore, to avoid scrutiny, and that “even a cabinet minister met me”. At a night rally held in City Stadium, George Town, the former deputy premier worked up the crowd with similar promises.
“It’s about time that we take over. It’s only a matter of time for us to take over. We are so close to Putrajaya,” he said to roars from some 15,000 people. “It’s very soon. I will not say how (soon). But it will happen soon.”
He stressed that defecting MPs would have to accept the Pakatan tenets of good governance. “I can guarantee you all today that if Pakatan Rakyat were to form the federal government today, we will bring down the oil price tomorrow,” said Anwar. “Let’s join force to topple this irresponsible and arrogant government.
If enough numbers support us, we will form the next government. The people of Penang must lead others in backing us for change to a better life,” said Anwar.
Hinting that Abdullah could dissolve Parliament in a sudden move to “save his skin”, he cautioned Pakatan leaders and members to be ready for a snap election. “We must fight to win till the end,” he said.
