Time for PKR, DAP to exit Sabah, Sarawak?


YOURSAY | ‘Focus on the west, let the opposition there do their job.'
New Dawn: The rational thing to do is to let Sabahans and Sarawakians battle Umno and its allies in east Malaysia.
PKR can work out an agreement for the opposition camp in east Malaysia to form an alliance with opposition parties in the peninsula to fight a common political enemy.
This way, PKR can focus its resources in Peninsular Malaysia. However, first, PKR should stop its infighting within its own ranks to gain confidence from the voters and supporters.
Also don't dance with PAS if you value your dignity as a leading opposition party. In short, PKR should put its own house in order as its top priority.
Abdul Kadir Ali: Indeed, I hope PKR will focus on Peninsular Malaysia rather than Sabah and Sarawak. Let the opposition in the east do their job.
Roguekiller: Do you know why your members deserting, PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail?
You have inevitably let PKR deputy president Azmin Ali take over the reins. If you want to remain as opposition leader, then show your mettle.
Alternatively, go with Saifuddin Abdullah's suggestion of appointing a reputable interim leader to lead Pakatan Harapan with the aim of winning GE14.
Anwar will see the light of day; otherwise, if the opposition wins and Muhyiddin Yassin becomes PM, Anwar will still be in Sungai Buloh.
KO: Wan Azizah, the weakest link in the opposition in my opinion is PKR. There are notable names like your daughter Nurul, Rafizi Ramli, yourself and your husband Anwar. But besides that, it has nothing going for it.
I would suggest close down PKR and go into either DAP or Amanah. As for Sabah, both DAP and PKR should just get out of there.
They will make no meaningful impact and will only end up diluting the votes and giving Umno another victory. Partner Sabah-based parties, and stop giving instructions from Kuala Lumpur.
Sinner: I really pity the ordinary Sabahans. They just do not have enough men of integrity among them. Sad to say, their future is most bleak. Their interests can be sold and resold by their representatives on any day.
Bamboo: Wan Azizah's response is more sensible than DAP's response against its defecting state representatives.
I hope these state representatives who change parties are doing it for the betterment of Malaysia and not for self-gain - to enter BN when they win seats under the new Sabah-based party.

David Dass: The situation today is dire. We are at the abyss and looking down into the darkness. At independence, it was simple and clear. We had a secular constitution and a government representing all the races. Equality was the governing principle.
The nation prospered and differences grew. Extreme opinions produced an Islamic party which challenged Umno and other opposition parties splintered from the Chinese and Indian parties, challenging their claim to represent the Indians and Chinese people respectively.
Then with Malaysia came Sabah and Sarawak adding more political parties into an already crowded and confused ruling coalition.
The May 13 riots brought about an urgent need to address economic imbalances. But expectations changed and the underlying structures underpinning our society fractured.
Are we secular today? Are we democratic? Is equality of our people still fundamental to our politics and our existence?
Do our leaders understand what is going on and do they have the courage to speak up and assert the will of the people they represent? Or will self-interest and survival be the only governing principles?
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has spoken. Islam must be the dominant religion. Others assert that Malays must dominate our society. Can we survive with such attitudes and with policies that support such attitudes?
Is it not clear to all that we must separate religion from politics? And that religious freedom means that the religious beliefs of one group cannot be imposed on the rest?
Vision2020: It would be interesting to see how the PAS-Umno rivalry faces off to win the hearts and minds of these rural kampung forks who will hold the majority of the parliamentary seats, through the assistance of the Election Commission.
This is through the gerrymandering strategy based on racial composition at the expense of MCA and MIC parliamentary seats in the semi-urban and urban areas.
Umno can afford to let go these parliament and state seats to the opposition parties, by populating them with educated middle-class workers and professionals so that they are in the majority.          
Hearty Malaysian: MCA, Gerakan and MIC are just riding the gravy train on their way down the slope together with the country's fortunes.
Any extra day in the cabinet post for these component non-Umno so-called party leaders is a bonus. Forget about them telling Umno to do things right.
Abasir: MCA, Gerakan and MIC leaders have probably arrived at a consensus regarding Hadi’s Private Member’s Bill.
In exchange for an ironclad guarantee that their own seats, positions and future incomes remain untouched, they, in keeping with their usual practice, may have promised to lower their heads and raise their hands in support.

Basically: Probably because the consensus is, Umno will say ‘sokong’ (support), and the rest of BN will say 'reject', and they will delay Hadi's Bill till after the next GE, when it will conveniently be forgotten.
That's why no one can really tell the public what the consensus was. -Mkini
