Can anyone believe when DPM Najib said that no money was involved?If that is true then the three who hopped over to B.N must be so impressed with UMNO's leadership to abandon Pakatan Rakyat. Clearly there was some incentive to lure the three assemblyman and woman to the B.N's fold. History has always shown us that politicians has a tendency to compromise on principles they professed when offered reward of power and money.
When you elect postman, clerks and retired penshioners to be their wakil Rakyat that is what you will likely end up with.Being offered $15million to change one's allegiance is alot of money and admittedly, not many can resist such a lucrative offer.Many opportunists are in politics not because they want to serve the people but because of what it can offer in terms of money and power.The moment they are not offered lucrative positions they start showing their true colours and the first opportunity they get they will abandon their principles and party's allegiance.
It was no coincidence that the two state assemblyman targeted to change their allegiance were going to face a corruption trial on 10th February. So it does not take a genius to reason why the two was easily persuaded to hop over to B.N.
However , the will of the people must be respected and cannot be thawarted merely because there were politicians who betrayed the trust of the people.
The only resolution to this dilemma is for the Perak sultan to dissolved the state assembly and order fresh election to determine the people's mandate to govern the state. Taking over the govt through the backdoor using dubious means is unacceptable and will not contribute to good governance.Let us hope and pray the sultan will do the right thing.
