Unlike in that famous nursery rhyme, yesterday, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men kept Humpty Dumpty from falling so that there was no need to put Humpty back together again.
And so, as Humpty and his Frumpy jubilated yesterday on that anointing most foul by feasting and much pomp, we peasants were left to lick our wounds inflicted by a system that has long ceased to care for us.
So, yes, this round belongs to him.
Najib 1 vs Rakyat 0.
Malaysianinsider reports :
“Just a year after the March 8 general election gave birth to Malaysia’s most viable opposition alliance ever, the Pakatan Rakyat stands on the verge of being wiped out.
The survival of the three-party alliance, brought together under the leadership of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, is at stake when voters in three constituencies go to the polls in three separate by-elections on Tuesday…
…The Pakatan alliance appeared poised to take power in Malaysia.
But a bold move by Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who was sworn in as Malaysia’s sixth Prime Minister yesterday, changed the entire equation.
Najib masterminded a power grab in Perak state which led to the collapse of the PR government.
The heavily-criticised move sparked a constitutional crisis but it has also led to a more resurgent Umno and BN, both of whom are brimming with a new level of confidence unseen in the months following their poor March 8 electoral showing…
…the widespread public anger seen in the early days of the power grab, achieved through defections, does not seem to have given Nizar much of an advantage in the campaign.
Bukit Gantang voters appear to be suffering from political fatigue, and the results on Election Day remain unpredictable.”
Really?
Wonder if this report was based on an actual field trip down to the ground in Bukit Gantang, or contrived on the fourth floor?
Well, the BR bloggers are on the ground in Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau and with our contacts in Batang Ai, and I’ve got to say we’re hearing and seeing differently.
And we’ve bounced back from that 1-0 result achieved in the most bizarre of circumstances and are going to work our socks off to deliver a 3-0 result on 7th April.
In favour of Pakatan, of course.
