UPDATE: Jamaluddin quits PKR to be independent
Here's a song dedicated to Mr. Jamaludin who probably hasn't lost
the "art of delivering to various destinations" since his postman days ...

Perak gives 48 hour ultimatum for EC to reverse decision
EC: No by-election for Behrang, Changkat JeringWith the Bota crossover, the PR Govt of Perak survives on a wafer-thin majority of a single seat. The BN, having an extremely large war-chest with their ill-gotten wealth, can now up the ante, to grab a few more "independants" to their side.
The PR meanwhile will be faced with a war of attrition which will wear down the confidence of this fledgling electoral pact, and severely test the loyalties of the representatives.
The shaky Perak Government needs more credibility to govern, if they want to make a real difference - or they'll only make fools of themselves throughout the coming term.
With the "instruments of state" practically waging war on them, they would be severely disadvantaged, in governing. Moreover, should they not perform their role well ( and it is certain that that they cannot), the odds will be stacked against them in the next elections, come 2012.
Hope PR sees the benefits of a dissolving the assembly, as opposed to holding on to a shaky Govt, while being suckers for "crossovers" - or even maybe even getting suckered real soon.
This election would also irreversibly dent (maybe even punch deep holes) NTR's already tattered credibility in the upcoming "transition" in the Umno-BN feudal/fascist regime.
Perak is a "feather in the cap" which NTR desperately needs to shore up his "image".
The only way to beat him in his game is to call for a new round of elections!!
So I hope Nizar/Anwar/LKS/Hadi do the right thing
- Dissolve the Assembly!!
