BN’s idea of a Ghandi and Mandela

Have you read anything more ridiculous and more self-aggrandizing than Dr Zambry’s comparison of his “struggle” (that of keeping the post of Menteri Besar by illegitimate means) to that of Nelson Mandela’s and Ghandi’s?!

He is from the powerful ruling party, and he dares to compare his party’s illegitimate takeover of the Perak state governement to the struggles of Mandela’s and Ghandi’s?  Mandela spent years in prison for his political beliefs, and Ghandi fought the all powerful British colonialist for the sake of his country’s sovereignty.

I guess in a politician’s mind, especially those from the BN, fighting to keep his political power no matter how illegitimately gained, is being as courageous as Mandela and Ghandi.

Of all the arrogance and conceit!

The crisis in Perak is democracy in action, or is it?  Are we witnessing sausages being made or are we witnessing the blurring of the powers of the palace, the judiciary and the executive?

The Sultan of Perak can put an end to the current crisis by allowing Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin to dissolve the state assembly and have fresh elections.  The people will speak and whatever government that is formed after the elections will have the clear mandate of the people.

Why prolong this crisis and get the people all worked up over their already heated partisanship as to who should lead the government?

And one more thing, Pakatan Rakyat better be sure to vet those who will stand for elections or there will be a repeat of “katak lompat”, a scenario so predictable in Malaysian politics.

    The candy sucking Gorilla really is an imbecile trying to measure himself against Ghandi and Mandela. He can’t even compare himself to a monkey let alone a human being. Najib is soo stupid for picking this guy as Perak MB. Just like Mahadey who pick AAB as his successor, both are a disaster.
