PAS man as Perak's MB???

The Panda learned today from Malaysiakini that the Sultan of Perak has appointed Pasir Panjang state assemblyperson and Perak PAS secretary Mohamad Nizar Jamaludin as the new Perak Menteri Besar with state DAP chairperson and Sitiawan state assemblyperson Ngeh Khoo Ham and and indian candidate as the deputies.

For all to know, it is in the states constitution that the MB of PErak has to be a malay muslim to officiate religious matters although there is a fine line that allows the sultan to waive the requirement.

The initial candidates vying for the MB post was Nizar, Ngeh and a PKR guy-Behrang assemblyperson Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi. Before the announcement, DAP(which won the most seats) backed the PKR candidate as MB with the Ngeh as deputy(PAS has the least amount of seats).

There is now a huge uproar as Uncle Lim(Lim Kit Siang) voiced his displeasure on his blog and DAP Perak Assemblymen will stay away from the swearing-in ceremony for Perak Mentri Besar scheduled tomorrow.

The Panda understands that if the Perak MB has to be a malay, but why the candidate from PAS???? There is obviously some hanky-panky action going on here!

Me figures that BN has indirectly appointed the PAS member to be MB to cause discord among Barisan Rakyat parties.

WE as the Rakyat want simple things-we want equality, we want justice, we want transparency and we want a lot of things like a new car, new house(ROFL-just jkin)..

But in all seriousness, PAS, why did you fall in UMNO's trap? Why did you even send a candidate to be suggested as a MB? It is ethically unfair for DAP especially since they won the most seats and the Perak people get a PAS MB. PAS has already got two MB posts-Kelantan and Kedah-that is an extra one!-not enough ah?

There is no denying that PAS's ultimate goal is to turn the coutnry into an Islamic country, not a secular state. DAP fights for equal rights and democracy. See the contradicting visions?

Mr Anwar Ibrahim, you have been preaching on equality, on not using the racial card-go help your party for once, go help your coalition, walk the talk-PLS prevent the PAS guy to become the MB. DAP backed the PKR candidate for a reason.

The only reason PKR managed to win so much is because it is looked upon as a multi racial party and the middle path compared to ultra-conservative PAS and the democratic fighting(too modern for some) DAP. Yes, the presence of Anwar might have made a difference but remember the last general elections where PKR was almost wiped clean?

/me KNOWS that the BN controlled newspapers are gonna have a field day tomorrow! Way to go guys!
