The Sultan of Perak must have a few skeletons in the closet... or substantial business interests he must protect. Why else would he side with the parasites in Umno/BN? Very disappointed in his decision - one he will surely live to regret.
THIS IS TRULY THE DARKEST MOMENT BEFORE A NEW DAWN!
PR have to face the music.they're no longer the govt that rules Perak.it's BN now that gonna take over the duty again after being defeated on the last GE.
this time around Anwar has lose in his own game.lose in the game of defections.who can ever predict that BN can actually PR on the game that PR defacto leader started.
with no hype,BN managed to gain control over again over Perak.PR people should not get mad.majority in PR succumb to the idea by Anwar.dont ever say that only PR can do the forming with defection and it's unfair for BN to do so.
2 word says it all:
1) Pakatan Rakyat is a LOAD OF RUBBISH. They're useless & stupid. Hardly even 1 year, they're now surrendering Perak back to BN. The Sultan of Perak decision clearly showed Tuanku is fed-up with the mess Pakatan Rakyat is creating in his state.
2) To Pakatan in Perak....SAYONARA, BYE BYE, SELAMAT TINGGAL, CHAI CHIEN.
PR now is history in Perak.
Nizar kena letak jawatan dan kalau dia tak letak jawatan maka dianggap yang jawatan MB dan exco-exco Perak sudah kosong.
belum cukup setahun PR memerintah Perak sudah bungkus.sebenarnya elok juga BN ambil alih sebabnya kalau dipecahkah semua parti politik yang bertanding pada pru lepas UMNO yang sebenarnya menang paling banyak kerusi berbanding MCA,DAP,PAS dan PKR.jadi kira takdelah percanggahan dimana MB datang dari parti yang bukan majoriti.
