Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim ’s attempt to bring in the French lawyers to brief Parliament on the on-going court case in France could probably be rated as the single most intelligent maverick political strategy ever pulled so far.
That credit rating of a clever plan however cannot be ascribed to Pakatan Rakyat; it actually is all because of BN’s own doing. So BN better stop nailing DSAI.
By officially stating and obstructing the lawyers from being allowed to address Parliament, the BN has started the submerging of its own credibility to greater depths.
People are now going to keep saying all the more convinced that the perception that BN has much to hide vis-à-vis the submarine case and all the bloody history entwined with the submarines must be true.
Sinking their own ship
Already the whispers are getting louder at the local warongs: Kalau tidak salah kenapa nak takut-takut lah.
Now how on earth is a political coalition, the BN, ever going to fight this emerging perception?
Maybe the Home Minister may want to come up with another of his infamous edicts to nip the emerging perception that after all the Altantuya murder, the commissions siphoned, and the over-pricing of the battle machines all have an umbilical cord of deceit wrapped around the pockets and up to the necks of BN war lords. No?
It is a pity really that (of course, for those aligned with the PR side, it is heaven sent blessing), the BN people are sinking their own ships even further and at greater haste.
If only the ministers and their appointed spokespersons said, “come lah, come by all means and let us get to the truth at all costs, because we have the truth and have nothing to hide”, then PR would have been edged to the cliff for another crucial plunge.
So can we blame the rayat for increasing in numbers at each coming public assembly to register their thoughts, feelings and aspirations all in the name and for the love of this nation?
