PAS flexes its muscles might cause the collapse of Pakatan Rakyat

Pakatan Rakyat is facing a great internal political crisis. It might cause the coalition to collapse and the collapse of coalition might change the political scenario which benefit to BN. This is the end result of marriage of convenience.

DAP chairman Karpal Singh said, it is not realistic for PAS Dewan Ulama to suggest that party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang become the prime minister if Pakatan Rakyat forms the Federal Government.

Karpal Singh said that at the moment, PKR had 31 MPs, DAP had 28 and PAS "was the most junior" with 23 MPs.

"It is not pragmatic. Traditionally, in any coalition, the prime minister should come from the party with the highest number of MPs, which is PKR in this case," he said Friday.

Dewan Ulama head Datuk Mohamed Daud said on Thursday that Hadi was more qualified to become the prime minister if Pakatan succeeded in forming the new Federal Government by Sept 16. "It is wrong for PAS to unnecessarily flex its muscles.

The individual parties have to abide by the principle that the party with the majority can lay stake to the premiership," he said, adding that similarly, the post of Opposition Leader was now held by PKR.

Karpal Singh said the normal convention during a general election was that the party with the highest number of MPs would seek an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to form the government.

"Departing from convention is not a step in the right direction, and is counter productive."

"Hadi should come forward with a statement and openly support PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, if elected, to become prime minister if Pakatan gains the support of the people to enable it to form the government at any time in the future," he said.

Karpal Singh also said it was wrong for Mohamed to make the suggestion at this stage, as the Pakatan component parties should be concentrating on ensuring Anwar wins the Permatang Pauh by-election with a thumping majority.

  1. GERAKAN TIDAK SETIA

    saya berminat untuk mengulas sikap Parti Gerakan yang ingin meninggalkan Barisan Nasional dalam keadaan kita sedang bersiap sedia untuk berperang di Permatang Pauh .Sebelum itu saya suka mengibas kembali kata-kata orang kampong saya "Gerakan X gerak tak makan" mereka tidak ikhlas bermula Dato' Lee Kah Cun meninggalkan Gerakan selepas kekalahan PRU 12 8 Mac ini petanda awal menunjukkan sikap mereka sebenarnya, PM kita cukup ikhlas walaupun Gerakan kalah dibanyak tempat dan Penang terlepas kepada DAP mereka masih mendapat kerusi dalam kabinet contohnya Timbalan Menteri Penerangan Dato" Tan Lian Hoe Orang Melayu Gerik rela mengundi beliau walaupun kerusi tersebut dari sejarahnya adalah kerusi Melayu (saya pernah tinggal di Gerik 92-99) ini bukti keikhlasan UMNO dan Perdana Menteri , Satu lagi kerusi ialah di Johor juga kerusi UMNO rela diberikan kepada Gerakan sebagai bukti kerjasama dalam BN . Sebenar tampa 2 kerusi ini Gerakan telah pupus dalam Kamus politik Malaysia selepas PRU 12 . tetapi setiakawan BN tetap memberi kerusi mereka, Pada saat ini mereka cuba menidakkan pengorbanan UMNO dan PM dengan mencetuskan sentimen bahawa Orang Melayu terlalu ekstrem dan perkauman serta menyentuh sensitiviti mereka, sebenarnya apa yang dibincangkan mengenai survival Melayu bukan perkauman tetapi realiti yang sudah termaktub dalam perlembagaan dan Gerakan hendaklah terima kalau orang melayu boleh duduk dibawah gerakan semasa Koh Tsu Koon menjadi Ketua Menteri Penang sejak beberapa lama mengapa disaat kita sedang membina kekuatan Gerakan ini ingin berpaling tadah.
