From Pakatan Rakyat to Pakatan Retak. Well, what we can expect from politicians \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Since Khairy Jamaludin trapped Husam Musa (or is it something pre-planned?) over the implementation of Hudud, Pakatan is getting agitated. DAP is very unhappy<\/a> at PAS and Anwar Ibrahim over their stand on Hudud.<\/p>\n If one remembers correctly, there was no mention of Islamic laws in the agreement made the 3 parties to work together. But now, PAS is backstabbing DAP, while PKR is playing sandiwara with words since the by-election is days away.<\/p>\n Let’s look at extracts from a Malaysiakini report<\/a> below:<\/p>\n Hadi said that hudud laws were not an issue in this by-election because it had already been gazetted in Terengganu when PAS held power between 1999 to 2004.<\/p>\n “It only applies for Muslims while non-Muslims can decide for themselves<\/span>. Misunderstanding (on this issue) between Pakatan Rakyat (parties) does not arise.<\/p>\n “It is only Umno that is causing problems,” he added.<\/p>\n <\/span>Lim then replied that DAP respects the opinion of its coalition partners but Pakatan Rakyat cannot make decisions as a federal government unilaterally<\/span>.<\/p>\n “If any problems occur, we will resolve it through musyawarah<\/em>, that is through discussions. All three parties must hold discussions and if a consensus is not reached, it must be discussed again<\/span>.<\/p>\n “This means, should PKR and PAS agree to implement hudud and DAP disagrees then it cannot be implemented. Everything must be discussed until all three parties agree,” he said.<\/p>\n Lim went on along the same vein for about five minutes while Hadi was noticeably uncomfortable forcing Terengganu PAS chief Mustafa Ali intervened<\/span>.<\/p>\n Mustafa told reporters that hudud was not an issue in the Kuala Terengganu by-election as the results would not have any impact on the state or federal government<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hmm…the seat got hot for them until squirming nervously?<\/p>\n I always thought that PAS will back-track\/backstab\/break away from the coalition. Their ideology is being compromised for the sake of winning the general elections, but it cannot be surpressed for long. PKR is depending on Anwar for comments, but no news from Tian Chua and gang. They will most likely support the stronger side, and in this case, PKR-PAS team looks a better prospect than PKR-DAP prospect.<\/p>\n Its very hard to have a balanced partnership in any coalition. Each party would like to think of it as being the backbone of the coalition, and PAS certainly does not want to play 3rd fiddle to Anwar and DAP.<\/p>\n
