‘Pakatan’, as a loose pact, each component party (PKR, DAP and PAS) having its own agenda despite their leaders claiming otherwise. -Tuan Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah
SIBU: State BN secretary-general Datuk Dr Stephen Rundi described the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) pact as a marriage of convenience.
“Their alliance is ‘tidur sebantal mimpi lain-lain’ (sharing the same bed but having different dreams).
“I am sure the people reading this will swing their support to BN this 13th General Election,” the public utilities (electricity and telecommunications) assistant minister told The Borneo Post.
The PBB secretary-general was asked if PAS’ pre-emptive move in naming their candidates in seven parliamentary constituencies on Sunday showed all was not well with PR.
State PKR chairman Baru Bian was reported to be shocked by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang’s unexpected move as three seats named had yet to be discussed and agreed with PKR and DAP.
State BN youth chief Datuk Fadillah Yusof believed the latest incident was a sign the parties could not work together.
“They are not able to ‘pakat’ with each other as they have different ideologies.
“As for us in BN, we will focus on our struggle to serve the people and bring this nation of ours to be a better place in all aspects that is, economy and social sustainability and more importantly, political stability, peace and harmony,” said Fadillah who is Petra Jaya incumbent and deputy science, technology and innovation minister.
PBB supreme council member Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah described ‘Pakatan’ as a loose pact, each component party (PKR, DAP and PAS) having its own agenda despite their leaders claiming otherwise.
Baru had earlier said they had come to a consensus on seat allocation but as D-day gets nearer, they are “back stabbing and scrambling for seats”.
“I won’t be surprised to see more surprises on nomination day,” said Abdul Karim, who Asajaya assemblyman and Assistant Minister of Youth Development.
Abdul Karim said unlike BN Sarawak, where party components are disciplined and focussed, Pakatan Sarawak is a bunch of power crazy inexperienced individuals.
“We will see how far the Pakatan leaders will go. They are mostly recycled leaders who appear after the rain just like mushrooms.
“The people will not be fooled and come May 5, they know what to do with them. A big garbage truck awaits,” he said.
