no emergency? y?
ReplyDeleteThe criteria is - PN MP die - no emergency. Else PN lose yet another seat.
DeletePH MP die - emergency, so no by-election. PH reduce numbers.
The real Emergency 1948, I recall ,Malaya was under existential threat of being overrun by Commie terrorists.
Now...Emergency is just political bullshit.
Gerik PN sure win, must have by-election. Get back MP. Similarly Bugaya PN got chan to win back, lose oso never mind, Sabah still safe, with 6 NON-ELECTED assemblymen.
ReplyDeleteBatu Sapi Warisan sure win, so declare emergency, no by-election, handicap opposition 1 MP.
So Yiddin may not ask Agong to declare emergency, Menteri Air Suam will instruct the recently promoted and indebted TAN SRI Noor Hashim the obedient Civil Servant to come up with some reason why no need emergency like in Batu Sapi.
