PUTRAJAYA, Feb 4 — Bota Assemblyman Datuk Nasaruddin Hashim who returned to Umno after 10 days, said he did so because he wanted to see the setting up of a strong and stable government in Perak.
“So I, in full awareness and responsibility, rejoin Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) starting today,” he told reporters after Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s press conference here today.
He said the political uncertainty and confusion in Perak to the extent of causing the state government to become unstable made him decide to return to Umno. He said he had also taken into consideration the advice and views from political friends and individuals that he should return to Unmo if he wanted to see a stable political environment and strong government in Perak.
On Jan 26, Nasaruddin announced that he was crossing over to Parti Keadilan Rakyat on the grounds of political developments after the 12th General Election and Umno internal problem.
Besides Nasaruddin who returns to Umno, Behrang Assemblymen Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Changkat Jering Assemblyman Mohd Osman Jailu from Parti Keadilan Rakyat as well as Jelapang Assemblyman Hee Yit Foong from DAP have left their parties and become independent.
Hee refused to talk to reporters when asked on her move. — Bernama

As for PKR, so many members are former disgruntled UMNO members who bought along the same culture with them I am still ambivalent about the party.
So that is why while I have nothing much to say about the other defections, I am extremely disappointed by the actions of Hee Yit Foong, who take her disagreement with her party leaders all the way to appearing with Najib in the press conference and still 'cry wolf' the past few days claiming broken heartedness... the rakyat is not stupid, it is pre-planned and you've been caught out in the open.

What kind of a government is it that is decided by 2 politicians prosecuted for corruption, a turncoat betraying the constituency that voted for her, and the twice-in-10-days turncoat?
Hee is the she that will be cursed till kingdom comes where ever she goes.

He must understand one thing clear. People have understood what kind of person he is and what he could as corrupt leader.
The only consolation we now have is Anwar did not offer him rewards as alleged with his defection back.. On the other hand it is also a lesson for Anwar to refrain from any of those who talks about defecting Umno or BN. Don't trust anybody. Also the next time make it a practice the selection of candidate is done publicly where the selected candidate takes his vow by entering into a written agreement to remain in the party through out his term

I guess that is one of the main reasons why he rehopped back to Umno, the greedy TOAD.

The disaster of BN in the March, 08 poles was the direct manifestation of the disgruntled Rakyats who didn’t receive well BN governance and thus casted their votes for the opposition. Thus, it is only wise that those representatives elected under the Opposition ticket resign and vacate their position for a fresh election than allowing them to hop to another party of their choice.

After the 12th election, it was 31 Pakatan and 28 BN, a majority of 3. After he defected to PKR, it became 32 Pakatan and 27 BN, a majority of 4. And with his re-defection, it is 28 Pakatan and 28 BN + 3 Independent, back to a majority of 3.
Is he getting a stronger government or is he getting something else?
