Quote of the day:
"All of you can leave (PPP). Either today or tomorrow. Why wait until the general election? What’s there to wait for?"
That’s what Umno vice-president Mohd Ali Rustam told People’s Progressive Party (PPP) members during the Malacca PPP annual general assembly as reported by Malaysiakini.
PPP president M Kayveas who was there listening to the speech, feeling disappointed and dejected, finally come to understand the kind power sharing concept by the Barisan Nasional’s government.
So, he cries like a baby for knowing the fact that he or rather his party has been cheated for the past few decades and worse, being humiliated by the #3 in Umno at their home party.
"When PPP was strong in the past, it was asked to join the BN but when it was saddled with problems, it was just forgotten. There is a difference between asking for more seats and asking for our own seats back. [...]
"It is not an issue. It’s just a request and a reminder with no ill intentions and this is the right time for the request to be made."
The same goes to other component parties too, if they think they’re good enough to continue to be the partner of UMNO to form the Govenrment, think again. There is a probability that the similar consequence will land on them in the future (IF and only IF BN continues to rule), given the fact that even though those major parties (e.g. MCA, MIC, Gerakan and etc.) are expelled from the current ruling coalition too, UMNO can still form a Government with a 2/3 majority.
Anyway, the show doesn’t end there. A few names consisting of pengecut, kaki bodek and gila are being discussed too. Ask RPK to find out who are they before he migrates.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said when opening PPP’s 54th General Assembly that BN is willing to consider PPP’s request for additional seats in the next GE and said public bickering among them should be avoided.
"There’s no need to put pressure on anybody to meet our demand as we’re all brothers. [...] People don’t like to see family members fighting among themselves or instability in the family. We should consult and cooperate among ourselves. Our detractors would love to see us in a state of disunity," he said.
Ironically, that’s contradicted with what’s being said by Ali Rustam the day before. Is Ali Rustam more powerful than the president Pak Lah or the PM is too weak and incapable to control his #3 in Umno?
Either way, PPP is finished, drowned by the power sharing concept, draconian framework laid out and controlled by Umno for many more years to come.

The duo are really good at acting. One pinches the baby, and the other tries to rock the cradle.
This kind of acting is nothing new in UMNO politics. Do you think the PM is really sincere in what he said? Looks like it has been well rehearsed.
hahaha… PPP might as well ask for a back seat. They’ll get it soon enough.
Does he understand the game ?
