Who will team up with who...


As you can see the single largest winner in Parliament is PAS (PAS-49;BERSATU-22). They have won 49 seats. I never liked them but still congratulations. Tahniah diucapkan. But PAS has certainly benefited from the Malay protest vote who were fed up with UMNO and Zahid Hamidi. PAS is NOT on solid ground and UMNO has totally lost the plot.  

The DAP has performed weaker winning 40 parliamentary seats, two less than in 2018. Nonetheless a real prformance by the DAP. I believe this time around the DAP has suffered from the association with Anwar Ibrahim and PKR. Why do I say this? Because PKR has won only 31 Parliamentary seats out of the 102 they contested. This is a significantly weaker performance than in 2018. But of course in 2018 Anwar was in jail. 

And Nurul Izzah his daughter has lost in Permatang Pauh, their family's "personal" Parliamentary seat. However my sincere congratulations to Dato Sri Wan Azizah (Anwar's wife) who has won in Bandar Tun Razak. Congratulations again.

It looks like Amanah is here to stay because they have won 8 Parliamentary seats. I believe Amanah has a better future than PAS. As I said the vote for PAS is a protest vote by disgruntled UMNO supporters. PAS will screw things up - just wait and see. The lebais have tasted the good things in life. Boleh beli Mecedi lagi.  


UMNO has won only 30 Parliamentary seats.UMNO punya bodoh masih calonkan haprak-haprak seperti Wak Jahid, Thambi Baling Hitam, Mamak Babuji, Ice Man Co'meth', Ikan Bakar. Wak menang tetapi yang lain semua kalah. I believe GPS Sarawak will work with BN. They may work with Bersatu but not PAS.  GPS Sarawak may not work with DAP or PKR. Its complicated. So GPS' role as kingmaker is "recalculable".

UMNO/BN can work with PKR but DAP supporters will be up in arms if DAP works with UMNO. So Anthony Loke, you better think carefully.  (Personally I think it is a workable idea - time to break the ice between UMNO and DAP. But minus Wak Jahid of course. And put your foot down on policy changes). UMNO/BN can work with PN and GPS but again I think Wak Jahid cannot be part of the equation.

In Johor and Melaka the BN can form the State government easily. In Pahang the PN may marry with the BN.  Same situation in Perak becaue PN has won 26 out of 59 State seats. They need FOUR  more State seats for a simple majority of ONE. If anyone drops dead and there is a by-election, Perak is precarious. Perlis goes solidly to PN and Sarawak is solidly held by GPS. But Sabah is complicated. In Sabah, the BN, PH, GRS and Others ALL have to work together. 


Dr Mahathir and his son Mukhriz both lost their deposits in Langkawi and Jerlun respectively. 
In 1969 when he lost Alor Setar, Dr Mahathir blamed the Chinese for not voting for him.

Sadly for Dr M, now in Langkawi the Malays have rejected him en bloc. He has even lost his deposit. And Dr Mahathir is the founder of Langkawi.

In Jerlun, his son Mukhriz has also lost his deposit - against the winner from PAS. All the Getah candidates throughout Malaysia lost again and all of them lost their deposits again. Perhaps Dr M and his gang will finally retire from politics and stay at home. - Syed Akbar Ali 


Semantik besar dan terbesar...

Parti politik atau gabungan parti-parti politik yang mempunyai jumlah kerusi paling banyak adalah Pakatan Harapan.Tapi kenyataan yang dilampirkan ini kata, mempunyai jumlah kerusi yang banyak.Soalnya banyak itu berapa? Kalau paling banyak atau terbanyak, mudahlah. Dengan 82 kerusi, parti atau gabungan parti yang paling besar adalah PH.

Maka logiknya PH lah yang mendapat keutamaan untuk mencuba membentuk kerajaan.Tapi kalau "banyak" saja, persoalannya banyak mana? Perikatan Nasional dengan 73 kerusi pun boleh kata ia mempunyai banyak kerusi. Malah Barisan Nasional yang ada tiga puluh kerusi itu pun boleh mendakwa mempunyai banyak kerusi juga. 


Gabungan Parti Sarawak yang ada 22 kerusi  pun boleh mendakwa hal yang sama berbanding Gabungan Rakyat Sabah yang ada enam kerusi dan Warisan tiga.Tapi tak apalah. Kita anggaplah ini masalah semantik bukan sesuatu yang sinister. Kita berdoa dan berharap janganlah lagi ada tangan tersembunyi menodai mandat rakyat!Insya Allah, mandat terbesar yang diperoleh PH tidak disia-siakan.- A.Kadir Jasin

Zahid nafi runding dengan GPS bentuk kerajaan bersama PN.Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi menafikan Barisan Nasional (BN) pernah berunding dengan Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) untuk memberikan persetujuan penubuhan kerajaan bersama Perikatan Nasional (PN).

"Let’s start with some basics...

The GPS does not like LGE and DAP because of certain difficulties which have built up over the decades. PH+GPS would add up only to 104 seats, still very short of 112. The GRS has problems with Anwar but, even If they join PH-GPS, the total would be only 110. 

Now, if PH+GPS+GRS can’t make past 112, PN with 9 seats behind PH would also not make it with the helping hands of Sabah and Sarawak. Ironically, it is BN who is now the ‘kingmaker’. With BN, PH can have a total of 112, just enough to pass the mark. 

Now, let’s go to the other basic - nobody (especially those from Sabah and Sarawak) except PAS wants an extremist, wayward, corrupt and unreliable Malay-Muslim party in their mist for obvious reasons. Most Malaysians want a moderate progressive party or coalition to bring us a better life here on earth. Only a handful want to be overly ‘heavenly’ in their thinking and beliefs.

Some GPS coaliation parties leaders are pressing Abang Openg not to align with PN but to go with PH, otherwise they will pullout.The game is not quite over.Those Christian MP’s from GPS are angry with Abang Jo for teaming up with PN Coalition...

In the circumstances, I believe BN will team up with PH and eventually, GPS and GRS will put aside whatever differences and grievances against PH and join the team. We will then have a good mix of leaders who will bring us away from bigotry and put us on the road to a better, modern and moderate Malaysia.

Most of the Sheraton Move traitors are gone and Mahathir is gone and the next concern for all of us is to get rid of any forms of extremism and bigotry, either racial or religious. A modern and moderate model is good for everyone. Specifically and without mincing words, we need to show and push extremist PAS to the desert and the waste basket of oblivion." - Lim Hwa Beng


cheers.
