KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 — Speculation is rife that four more state assemblymen from Pakatan Rakyat (PR) parties are ready to defect to the Barisan Nasional (BN).
The four names being cited in various text message exchanges are Keshvinder Singh (DAP) from Malim Nawar, A. Siva Subramanium (DAP) from Buntong and S. Kesavan (PKR) from Hutan Melintang and Tai Sing Ng (PKR) from Kuala Sepetang.
While it cannot be confirmed at this point if those named in the text messages are indeed going to defect, well informed sources in UMNO have confirmed that discussions are ongoing with five more PR lawmakers and that “there is a good chance” that three of the five will cross over in the next 2 months.
“The timeline of two months could mean it could be tomorrow on in 60 days,” the Umno source said.
The Malaysian Insider has also learnt that three of the Perak state executive committee positions have been left vacant for now and will be filled possibly only after the first seven have been sworn in tomorrow.
All of the two Chinese state representatives in BN Perak are expected to be in the state executive committee — newly independent Hee Yit Fong and Dr. Mah Hang Soon, MCA’s representative from Chenderiang.
Sungai Rapat representative Hamidah Osman has been made the senior state executive committee member.
BN is said to be looking for Indian representatives to cross over in order to make its line-up more multiethnic.
The death today of Pas MP for Bukit Gantang Roslan Shaharom today means that a by-election will happen in Perak and this will also be seen as a crucial referendum for both BN and PR.

Defect and be damned since this is the best way to sift out the good from the bad in PR. Perakians are truly astounded by these goings-on (money changing hands to the defectors) in the state assembly. We will know what to do in the next election. Threats by UMNO/ BN against the people will amount to nothing because at the end of the day, it is the ballot box that will do the talking. So carry on defecting because this will be your last term, you party back stabbers and traitors!!

Maybe on hindsight, its a blessing in disguise that the Sultan did not disssove the Assembly as requested by PKR, now that 3 more PKR are rumoured to be getting ready to defect. It would have been another disaster if after being re-elected, they decide to leapfrog. Lets do some house cleaning first by getting rid of all these money-seeking and spineless scumbags. Come on DAP & Keadilan, do something to ensure that your people remain loyal. With all the brains in the parties, I am sure you can think of something.

Woe is Nation!

written by candidman, February 09, 2009
By the way they are running the Country and at the pace it moves, very soon the economic tsunami will surely tear and tumble our Nation's economy into crumbles as what the foreign analysts have predicted! The ruling politicians are still much addicted to tug-of-war and pulling legs game at the expense of the rakyat, the national coffer, without focus to pre-empt counteractions economically, still complacent!
Above all, we are sure to achieve Wawasan 2020 viz. "Wawasan dua kosong - economy & politics, kedua-dua akan jadi kosong!".....Woe is Nation!

It make no difference
written by Great Alibaba, February 09, 2009
BN can entice 3 or 300 PK low- life to defect will make no difference to Rakyat. Rakyat can see very clearly BN has fail her mandate to improve on the governance of Malaysia. Instead they are playing the stupid game of pimping for political prostitution.
Rakyat's puke will submerge them real soon. That is a given.

Anwar Must Learn from this Incident

THere are so many bad apples in PKR that can be easily tempted using money.
People are very dissappointed with the quality. On the other hand, they are welcome by UMNO with open arm. So let it be if you loose those bad one but you have to build the PKR again as well as Pakatan.
Anwar must learn for this incident and move on to be a better politician and having a strongly united Pakatan

written by Silver Surfer, February 09, 2009
I get the sense that UMNO is playing "Spoiler". Since they do not expect to be able to win in a free and fair elections, they have decided to make PR look as bad as possible before any by-elections or general or snap elections.
How do you otherwise account for their behaviour. Sore losers? Looks like it.

Before it's late sue them!
written by Suresh, February 10, 2009
written by Suresh, February 10, 2009
I say this again. The voters in the respective constituents must come together to confront the defectors in the court of law. They must sue them. The voters have every right to question them for defecting, misleading and betraying. The assemblymen must be made to answer their questions. It must be a lesson for those who think of defecting that voters will come after them in the event they misrepresent their expectation.

Frogs leap to Jackpot
written by Jayrogers, February 10, 2009
written by Jayrogers, February 10, 2009
The two assemlymen from PKR knows very well that if the are found guilty of the corruption charges, they will lose their ADUN seat and survival will be hard so they switch camp by receiving bribes to turn Independant and support BN. As fothe Dog (bitch) her 20 years in DAP could not give much ........... so when she was lured into a lifetime personal benefit she fall for it. As for the Bota ADUN immoral of the lot for his double flip leap is somebody who could anything to be in power. What I am surprise is that BN who had been talking about morals can could accept these immoral ADUNs.
Most regretful is the decision taken by the learned His Highness The Sultan of Perak knowing the situation very well. Hope in the next General Election the Rakyat will have better choise and liberty to choose whom they want to represent them. Be patient Perakians.

Its an unpaying job
written by LaoZi, February 10, 2009
written by LaoZi, February 10, 2009
It is not PK or DAP fault that they have weak characters who jump over to the money & power rich BN. This phenomena only underlines the difficulty non-BN is facing in doing a good job for the people.
See the stress on all the non-BN politicians due to pressure from the police, the royalty and the chanting extremist that make police reports and apply royal & racial pressure.
Money only compounds this,weak characters will jump over.
Therefore, we Malaysians must keep supporting PK, DAP & PAS knowing they are doing a very difficult and stressful job. Thank you to all of you who stay and to those who stand out and wave the democratic flag. I salute all of you.
