The Great Race

MM Online - Pakatan takes Perak after BN defections:

Back in 2008 in Perak, even when Pakatan Rakyat was already governing the state, Anwar Ibrahim continued his frog business, describing the revolving door frog, Nasarudin Hashim’s defection as reflecting “... the sentiments of his voters, namely the Malays in his constituency ... as the beginning of a new wave.”

Yes, Mr Man Man Lai was not only hard up for frogs but he had to single out Nasarudin’s defection as that of a new wave of Malay voters tsunami-ing over to his banner.

Well, today, it may well be true that the current BN defections over to PH in Perak could well be “... the sentiments of his voters, namely the Malays in his constituency ... as the beginning of a new wave”, thus fulfilling Anwar Ibrahim's 2008-hope.

Earlier this morning, MM Online also published Three Johor reps cross from BN to Pakatan (extracts):

Three Johor Umno assemblymen and 40 other members switched allegiances to Pakatan Harapan (PH) today, following the Barisan Nasional’s crumble in the 14th general election.

The assemblymen are Rasman Ithnain (Sedili), Rosleli Jahari (Johor Lama) and Alawiyah Talib (Endau).

All three have stated their decision to quit Umno and join Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) for the sake of the people they represent, and also in the spirit of Malay unity.

Wakakaka. The froggie season has started.

And yesterday we had:

(a) Supporting the One Belt and One Road Initiative (OBOR) with still no end to the problems of the Froggy Land.

(b) Improved 916 Mark II.

Can we make something out of the post-election second wave of the Malay tsunami?
My matey provided the following approximate stats:

PKR - 49
DAP - 42 (including Sarawak DAP)
Pribumi -12
Amanah - 10

GE14 gave us the following tally:

UMNO - 54 out of BN's 79

PAS -18

It would seem now it's going to be a great race between PKR and Pribumi to see who harvests the most number of frogs, wakakaka, for non-halal 'sweet-chook' broth.

Natalie Wood starred in The Great Race

the late actress was once America's sweetheart, and Anwar, who knew something about psychology (wakakaka) 'confessed' to Americans that he fantasised marrying Natalie when he was young

Out of UMNO's 54, say, 25 jumps over to PKR. That will give PKR a total of 74. Amanah adds another 10 to the lot, and we have 84. If PAS wants to play, then that makes the total 102. By this stage, it's near kowtim or at least PKR attaining dominant powers in PH. And if we add the frogs from across the China Sea, olala.

Good Lord, PKR may yet become a new new UMNO Mark III complete with its own pseudo-MCA (headed by Tian Chua) and pseudo-MIC (headed by Sivarasa?).

OTOH, Pribumi may have a few strategies in mind to cope with this lompat-ing phenomena.

Last year I posted Mahathir's legacy - a Greater Pribumi? in which I visualised and predicted such a scenario of frogology but with Pribumi the principal beneficiary, but if PKR beats Pribumi to the gun, it may well be that Mahathir's legacy of a Greater Pribumi may be inherited by Anwar Ibrahim, wakakaka.

Won't that be the sweetest irony.

But one thing I know for sure, the current embarrassing and massive change of party loyalties has been driving BERSIH and Ramkarpal Singh mad.

Both have advised PH to reject any defecting BN state and parliamentary elected representatives into the coalition as such a move would be ill-advised.

BERSIH said that would also be a betrayal of the people's trust.

But I doubt Mahathir and PKR will listen as these two parties have different vision for the intermediate future, basically DOMINANCE.
