Friday Feb 13th.

Feb 13th. is the first year anniversary of Pak Lah's decision to dissolve the parliament. That led to the historic 12th. GE. Pak Lah though 13 is his lucky number but neither he nor BN leaders realize a political tsunami is developing across peninsular Malaysia. It was a spectecular result on 8 richter scale on the night of March 8th. From a almost total domination in 2004, BN fell in 5+1 states. The rest is history. As March 8 approaches, not much has changed (for the better). Malaysia remains unstable as ever, politically as the rakyat is treated to one sandiwara after another. The latest is the coup d'tat in Perak, masterminded by Najib who is schedule to take over the PM"s post next month. At the rate it is going, Selangor and Kedah might fall even before 13th. GE. The PR government can never depend on royalty to do the right thing for rakyat when it matters. The Sultan of Selangor today has asked the rakyat not to be "biadap". I am not surprise by this statement. The PR and rakyat by now, should know where they stand. All of the royalty either have been bought over or threaten to submission by the ever powerful Najib. PR is wrong to underestimate the survival of BN. If there is any doubt of Najib's ruthelessness, this has been put to rest with the efficiency and speed in execution in toppling the Perak government. Pak Lah lacks this and this contributed to his downfall after 5 years in power! But Najib is like the German Panzer division. Unlike Pak Lah, Najib has shown he has never hesitated in using brute force to have his way. As political stability in Malaysia is in question, no effort has been done to redress the declining economic problem. The government will present a mini budget next month. But the problem is implementation. As it seems, money will only flow into BN rep's and political cronies hands. This will only increase leakages in the economy. Monetary impact has its limit. Any more cuts will not have impact on revitalizing the economy as the rate is already low. But I still have doubts as to whether the government has funds to finance its budget this year, bearing in mind shorftalls in revenues due to lower taxes, commodities prices. Sigh, no end in side for Malaysia.
