PPP burning its bridges or playing with words?

Missed my own blog for last 5 days! Hmmm…do I sound vain? Anyway, its been an hectic week. But so many things to write about. i’ll start with Drama Minggu Ini from our crowd favorite, PPP. As their President boldly ventured where no one has gone before (OK, I’m stretching it a bit here) by threatening BN to amend ISA, the reply from BN chairman, PM Badawi was simple – its their choice. In others words, PPP no need to waste time talking and issuing statement la. The PM is (in my humble opinion) telling PPP to ship out ASAP. Make the decision and quit BN since its their own choice. Free will. Or is PPP waiting for show cause letter as given to SNAP few months back?

Following that initial statement by Kayveas, a so-called self proclaimed PPP advisor (or is it former president according to Star) I.S. Rajah said he met the Barisan chairman and secretary-general at Parliament and gave them an undertaking that PPP would not leave Barisan. He also said Kayveas should resign or pull out the party from BN. BTW, this guy got sacked as PPP member today.

However, today’s episode sees PPP’s supreme council standing firm behind its president. The vice presidents also engaged in some “wayang kulit” by saying that the PM’s reply was just “merely in response to questions from the media”. It sees “no reason” to stay in BN if BY NEXT ELECTION (that’s about 4.5 years away at most) ISA is not amended. Well, are they expecting public to forget their threat in 15 months? (I chose 15 for the sake of 15th anniversary of Highland Towers which did not seem to teach us anything).

So, if you are a PPP member, what would you do? Err..of course this proper question would be why are you still a PPP member. 🙂
