No to unity government

I am glad that the Pakatan Rakyat has jointly turned down the Umno-PAS idea for a unity government as seen here.

I mean why is there calls for Malay unity whenever Umno seem or perceives to itself to be weak in the arena of Malaysian politics.

Had the unity government become a reality Pas may have been the biggest losers in the next general election since non -Malay support did jolt them into making political inroads.

Would PAS - UMNO unholy matrimony materialize?

In the name of Malay unity and Islam. That is the catch phrase used by UMNO to court PAS following UMNO's loss of 4 states and 1 Federal Territory. Nik Aziz, PAS Spiritual Leader cum Menteri Besar of Kelantan who earlier said that the unholy alliance matrimony would not take place due to the bitter pill in 1974 now stated that PAS would consider if UMNO is willing to implement hudud law for starters.

It is definitely going to be interesting to hear PAS President Hadi Awang resolving the suspense on the possibility of UMNO - PAS unholy alliance in Perak following Perak UMNO head, Datuk Tajol Rosli Ghazali's proposal to make Perak the guinea pig.

Interestingly yesterday Ipoh timur PAS Youth chairman sent a press statement that chided Tajol ROsli for the proposal. He even told Tajol to stop dreaming.

If UMNO was truly sincere they should have made the proposal in Kedah where PAS commands the state cabinet instead of Perak. Apart from MB Nizar Jamaluddin, PAS only has one state Exco. Seat wise it only commands six state seats compared to DAP's 18.

I shall await patiently for Hadi Awang's decision.

Though the suspense is too much to bear....

Update: Hadi Awang has ruled out any form of cooperation with UMNO especially in forming governments but will continue talks with UMNO
