Light at end of Selangor tunnel may not be what's desired

Suddenly, from out of the murky fog of Selangor's political confusion over the MB position, we see some light at the end of the tunnel ... yes, we can now just see that wee better ...



... but alas, it's not exactly a sight we want to see.


no, not when you're standing in the middle of the tunnel

These are the facts of the situation:

(a) TMI reports that the Shura Council forbids PAS from picking Wan Azizah, Azmin for Selangor MB post, which also informs us PAS has nominated 2 from PAS and 2 from PKR but neither of the latter two are Dr Wan or Azmin Ali.

Much earlier, Mustafa Ali, sec-gen of PAS, has been saying one thing after another about PAS' nominated candidate or candidates for the MB post in the letter to HRH, until I suspect, either he had confused himself thoroughly, or he was bullshitting us throughout on PAS nomination or nominations.

Anyway, I hope by now PAS hasn't provided seditious confusion to HRH, wakakaka.

But based on the TMI report (incidentally taken from a Utusan report, wakakaka. so we might just have to minus several percentage points off it, but alas, not much), I believe it spells out two things, namely, (i) PAS doesn't want to have Anwar Ibrahim or/and any member of his family to hold political power in any dominating position, and (b) the end of Pakatan as we know it.

Whether (a) above has anything to do with Pak Haji Hadi Awang's personal unhappy relationship with his former ABIM matey, or merely PAS' notorious misogyny no longer matters. PAS just won't support Dr Wan or Azmin (the latter would be considered a family member fo Anwar).

As for the DAP (and we need to look at the PAS-DAP relationship because of the future for Pakatan), recall just prior to May 2013, the happy chummy-buddy-matey relationship between PAS and DAP.

Then DAP relied on PAS willingness for it to use the PAS logo for its DAP candidates standing in the general elections when RoS put a question mark on the legitimacy of the DAP CEC.

The DAP CEC's lawful rights to issue letters of authority for its candidates to show the EC was in serious doubts, and via PAS-DAP lateral thinking which would have made Edward de Bono proud, PAS offered to issue those letters as if the DAP candidates were authorized PAS election candidates and for them to use the PAS logo as if the DAP candidates were standing in both the federal and state elections as PAS candidates.

Then Subky Abdul Latif, a PAS man, almost had his wet dreams realized, of PAS flags flying everywhere especially in Penang, wakakaka.


On 02 April 2013 he wrote an article in his TMI column titled Bilakah DAP akan diharamkan, in which he discussed the anticipated need for DAP to resort to the PAS logo because of an anticipated but unrealized RoS sabotaging action, as follows:

Sebagaimana semua menunggu bila Parlimen hendak dibubarkan, maka semuanya menunggu bila pula DAP hendak diharamkan?

As Subky said, we all knew then and were waiting to see if RoS would delegitimize (haramkan) DAP.

RoS sudah mengingatkan supaya DAP mengadakan undi semula pemilihan pimpinan pusatnya jika tidak mahu dikenakan tindakan. Tindakan itu mungkin diharamkan. Dan pihak yang benci DAP memang mendesak supaya RoS membatalkan pendaftarannya.


DAP bersedia untuk diharamkan. Penasihatnya Lim Kit Siang menyatakan DAP sedia bertanding atas nama PAS dalam PRU13 ini. Dan reaksi Setiausaha Agung PAS, Datuk Mustapa Ali ialah PAS sedia memberi laluan.

Soalnya sekarang bila RoS hendak mengharamkan DAP? Jika RoS sebuah agensi yang tegas dalam serba serbi, maka ia mesti haramkan DAP dengan segera sekurang-kurangnya sebelum hari penamaan calon.

Sukby was obviously getting excited, wakakaka.


PAS sekarang dipercayai menunggu. Ia tidak mendoakan supaya DAP diharamkan, tetapi kalau diharamkan, maka ia satu cabaran yang menarik bagi menguji kematangan politik Pakatan Rakyat dalam suasana baru politik Malaysia sekarang.

Oh, what heady days of Pakatan brotherhood.

But apart from collaborating with DAP and PKR to win the elections and form the next Malaysian government (and it has to be said it nearly did, with 51% of the popular votes) there would have been strategic benefit for PAS, because non-Muslim voters in voting for DAP under the PAS banner, would have gotten use to and not fear the Moon symbol.

Semua akan menyaksikan pejuang Islam dalam PAS menawarkan kemudahan kepada sekutunya bagi membuktikan kemantapan dan kematangan kerjasamanya dan DAP pula di lihat berani menghadapi pengundi tradisinya untuk menggunakan lambang PAS, Bulan Penuh Purnama. Ia menguji kematangan pengundi bukan Islam mampu membuat perubahan untuk bersama PAS.

But with the PAS Shura Council going its lonesome way, probably towards a convergence with UMNO, sorry lah Pak Cik Sukby, your dreams and of many other Malaysians including the PAS Erdogens and mine too have been destroyed, razed to the grounds, ground into smithereens in one mighty stroke by the Shura Council.

The irony is many like me do NOT support Dr Wan per se or Azmin Ali as MB, but we wanted Pakatan to survive in order to be able to reasonably compete against the powerful UMNO-BN, and for Pakatan to survive, the coalition had (note the past perfect tense 'had') to take a unified stand on the Selangor MB issue, with all respect to Tuanku, ampun Tuanku.

And this has been why PAS leaders like Khalid Samad, Dzulkefly Ahmad, Mat Sabu have been urging and appealing to PAS members to stay on with Pakatan and not be seduced by UMNO's so-called Malay Unity - for more, see the Malay Mail Online's Stop pushing PAS to quit Pakatan, party leaders told and Malaysiakini's Doomsday for PAS if it works with UMNO.

But those heady days of Pakatan brotherhood are gone now, and thus it won't be Pak Cik Sukby Latif or me who will have political wet dreams, but Ah Jib Gor, wakakaka.


(b) On the next and more sensitive issue, we can have endless debates and even arguments over the constitutional limits of HRH but as we know, the Pandora Box has long been opened in other states like Perlis, Terengganu, Perak and recently on a non-election issue, Johor. Selangor is thus not unique or breaking constitutional grounds.

Far more annoying to me is that the stalemate over one name, two names, three names, etc, has allowed Khalid Ibrahim to hang on as MB. I can't stand him because as PAS Sungib Saari said, he has become intolerable by the hour.

Yes, with the PAS Shura Council's very treacherous anti-Pakatan act, it's possible HRH may even approve a PAS candidate as the new MB of Selangor, because as I suspect, HRH, like PAS and many [including yours truly], seems to not fancy Anwar or the possibility of him controlling a member of his family in running the state government, and

... yes subsequently the 13 remaining PKR ADUN and 15 DAP ADUN (assuming Hannah Yeoh is replaced as Speaker and she resumes her ADUN role) can vote against the new PAS MB, who will be supported by 12 UMNO, Khalid Ibrahim as an Independent and 14 PAS ADUN (one PAS candidate becomes the new Speaker), and

... yes oust him by a show of no confidence of 28 vs 27.

Alternatively if the Speaker can also vote, regardless of whether this be Hannah Yeoh or a PAS-UMNO candidate or even Khalid, then yes, Selangor will have a hung parliament.

In either case, yes again, that may move HRH to call for a new RM50 million state elections.

(c) the other scenario is (as visualized by RPK) HRH can of course take his own time in deciding how to resolve the political imbroglio while he instructs Khalid Ibrahim to stay back as MB.

Now, wouldn't you all just love that, the part about a mandate-less party-less shame-less Khalid staying on as the Royal MB with 4 PAS exco members to run the state government, wakakaka.

And this bizarre status quo could continue with all sorts of state government policies issued and major projects approved*, etc until the DUN refuses to pass the budget at its next scheduled assembly, when by then the state administration will grind to a halt.

* by convention a caretaker MB or CM or PM cannot issue new major policies, approve major projects, or enter into contracts but only the necessary action and routine financial approval to run the government on a day-to-day basis until the brief caretaker period ends. But in Malaysia, it's known that one ca f**k conventions

If the above happens (to wit, political stalemate, hung parliament, government comes to a halt due to budget not being passed by the majority in House, etc), I wonder whether there is anything in the state or federal constitution to impose emergency rule in Selangor?

If that happens, then it's all thanks to the brilliant Kajang Move and, I make no apology for saying this, all thanks to Anwar Ibrahim for the delay in the MB replacement which has allowed, much to my rising blood pressure, Khalid Ibrahim to continue being the so-called caretaker MB.

  2. HRH in the end will say "You idiots put me in an impossible position - rejecting an unacceptable candidate , then forcing through a no-confidence motion against the one I selected". I have no choice but to dissolve the Assembly.

    In the subsequent snap elections , all Puk*tan parties get punished severely and Barisan Nasional retakes Selangor.

  9. KT,

    Time for the Fat Lady to sing Auld Lang Syne.

    It's becoming glaringly clear the Pakatan marriage is heading for divorce, the only consolation being it's an amiable divorce without undue recrimination and bitterness. From hindsight we should have known, you can't mate a chicken with a duck even though both are poultry and from the avian family. Their genes/DNA are too different and a productive marriage is not viable.

    Its short-lived and rambunctious marriage did spark fervent hopes for a new beginning al'a Star Wars, but, sadly, even though they almost hit the target, a miss is still a miss. Perhaps for those whose hopes still lives on, better luck next time.

  11. Obviously DAP has never supported PAS to be MB since 2013 GE , otherwise how come PKR get the MB posts even with less ADUNs. Of course DAP could never have the MB post cos they don't have a Malay in their party.

    Now even if PAS submit whatever PAS names for the new MB and even if endorsed by Tuanku, it will still be voted down at the next Assembly sitting. I am sure PAS is aware of it and that's why the Trojans in PAS used the Syura Council to get the names thru.

    The end result will just see PAS having a battle between the Erdogans and Ulamas and the breakup of the party.

    And the MB? Continue the musical chair game until the next GE or until PAS solves it's housekeeping whichever comes first.

    In the meantime, RM$$$$$$$$$$ project continues unhindered.

  15. I can’t help laughing. Why? Some want the disintegration of the Monarchy. Some want the disintegration of PAS. Some want the disintegration of PKR. Some want all the three in one. Yet ALL of them are shouting liberty, equality and fraternity. And so they may. Wakakaka…

    I often go to Terengganu. I just love this place called Angullia Beach Resort. I would sit at the verandah of my chalet facing Pulau Kapas for hours and finish a book. The last book that I read there was ‘Fault Lines’. The food at Angullia is first class and the beach is awesome. The cost is affordable. The resort is owned and managed by a Singaporean malay. BTW, there is a place called Angullia Park in Singapore.

    Masjid Rusila is just about five minutes drive from Angullia. I declare I never fail to do my five daily prayers there when I stay at Angullia. This is the mosque of TGHH. Say what you want. I am not a politician and I am not a PAS member. But I like TGHH. I read all his books and listen to all his cassettes. TGHH was trained by the Islamic University of Madinah and Al-Azhar University Cairo. I have met and spoken with TGHH quite a number of times. Once he did chide me many years ago… in English it means, “I think you being a product of the colonialist and a secularly enlightened self, your worldly knowledge are deficient in specialized expertise in the vast field of Islamic jurisprudence and you are confining Islam to the minimalist redoubt of personal piety and customary law.” You can imagine the colour of my face then.

    It is suffice for me to say TGHH knows what he is doing. The issue now is HRH Tuanku Sultan has decreed for three names each from PKR, DAP and PAS. TGHH does not want to be seen as menderhaka kepada HRH Tuanku Sultan. Anything wrong with that? Aren’t the malays being thought about si Tanggang yang menderhaka kepada orang tua nya? PKR and DAP should have given three names each, be it a non malay. It is up to the HRH Tuanku Sultan. It is like passing their balls to the palace court without the balls. Wakakaka..

    I think PKR and DAP should start crawling and crying in sackcloth and ashes to the palace begging to the HRH Sultan that Dr Wan should be the MB. And so she may not! Wakakaka again…

  16. KT, you rightly pointed out that DS Khalid Ibrahim was put into power by his party, and since his party has expelled him, he has no moral hold on the MB post anymore. It is just that the Tuanku would not let him resign pending a successor. In short, he is in a caretaker role, and in a caretaker role he should not embark or deal with policy or decide on projects or on contracts.

    In this sense, just like the State Secretary should not have signed the Water Concession Agreement after GE12, before YAB Khalid and other executives came into office, Khalid now should not, for example, make decisions on the Water Agreement.

  17. HY.... I would agree with you that even if HRH Tuanku Sultan decides to appoint an MB other Dr Wan, the Aduns from PKR/DAP and perhaps PasMa can engineer a vote of no confidence in the new MB.

    In order to alleviate the likelihood of the Monarch being faced with awkward decisions, I am now in favour of the Monarch to give the present government 30 days to resolve the conflict and failing which the present government must resign, the state assembly dissolved and fresh election would be called.

    I think that is the only way to avoid the Monarch being drawn into making a potentially controversial decision to put down the fires and swords of PR's internal chaos.

  19. In hindsight , the Kajang Move was a necesary one , to have available an MB candidate other than Azmin or PAS MB.

    By the beginning of 2014, it was obvious that Khalid Ibrahim was a loose cannon who did not consider himself accountable to his party nor Pakatan Rakyat coalition. The situation was becoming a threat to Pakatan's future position in the state.
    There were efforts to get him back in line, but all rebuffed as he moved further and further into "Royal Vizier" mentality.
    The issue was also muddled by the ongoing Khalid vs. Azmin conflict. Many thought the Kajang Move was just part of an effort to get Khalid replaced by Azmin.

    PKR and Anwar still has to take the blame the very poor job they did in explaining the rationale of the Kajang Move to the public, as well as Khalid's appointment in the first place. But the necessity of the Move is clear in hindsight.
