Conspiratory theory in Perak

With all the crazy things happening in Perak right now with lots of anger and finger pointing and fault apportioning, one can't help feeling despondent and fed up with it all. As days pass, the mirage of a miraculous turn around for the PR led government is getting fainter just as fog in the face of a blinding sun. This set me thinking as to what is the root cause that led to this debacle in the first place? Suddenly a light bulb flashed in my odious mind and things begun to look more clearer.

That Bota assemblyman Nasarudin is the key to it all. I just can't shake off this nagging suspicion that somehow Nasarudin is involved in it right from the beginning. He is the proverbial Trojan horse that was used by UMNO to throw Perak and by extension Malaysia into an uproar about party hopping. Frankly, PR fell for it like a house of card as they triumphantly paraded him to the media as a sign of victory in their effort to lured the opposing members into their rank.

We all know how Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been going on about getting BN MPs to crossover to PR in order to bring about a change of government last year. However, this is nothing but hot air and soon was forgotten but not BN. They have been busy plotting to get back the PR led states in the sly right from the start. Despite numerous reports about attempt to buy assemblymen over, PR still harbour their ambition of luring the opposing ADUN over to their side.

With the shock defection of the Bota ADUN Nasarudin to PR, there is a sense of euphoria and elation that at last, all their hard work has bore fruit. Unbeknown to them, UMNO has secretly undermined three PR assemblymen of their own. When the news of the Bota defection was made known, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak take charge to call for an emergency meeting. In that meeting, all the remaining assemblymen of Perak BN pledged their loyalty to BN. At the same time, the incumbent Perak UMNO chief liaison officer Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli tendered his resignation thus paving the way for Najib to be the new UMNO chief liaison officer of Perak.

Now, the field is ripe for the taking by BN. With the prevailing sentiment that party hopping is the theme of the day, BN engineered a remarkable coup for power by pulling back their Bota assemblyman into their fold and at the same time enticing three PR assemblymen to become independent assemblymen friendly to the BN cause. In this way, the public opinion of outrage at the audacity of the coup is muted. Almost immediately, the BN MSM goes full tilt in saying that it is alright because PR deserved it after all. All in all, it is a remarkable job of coup d'tat orchestrated by Najib in a most brazen and perhaps audacious way that caught PR with their pant down.

Perak Constitution Crisis

A lot have been spoken and written concerning the above subject both for and against the PR government and the subsequent coup by the UMNO led BN. Through it all, the Sultan of Perak is the central figure that cause the presence impasse. It is with great regret that I as a humble citizen of this country now felt let down by our constitutional monarchy. If I may, I would pay HRH Sultan Azlan Shah a penny for his though and why he did what he did. His decision to withold the dissolution of the Parak Assembly Legislature recommended by the incumbent MB Nizar is quite shocking to say the least. I implore HRH Sultan Azlan Shah to recant his earlier decision and do the right thing to solve the current constitutional impasse. We the people have the right to elect the government of the day and not by dubious mean.

Kindly do the right thing Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku. Patik memohon ampun.
