Abdul Karim, who is Asajaya assemblyman, said this only reflected that Baru had run out of issues on Sarawak and his attempt to be seen as still relevant as an opposition leader.
Appalled by Baru’s comments and his views on Najib’s statement, the PBB Supreme Council member, added: “Firstly, Baru’s flip flop comment on PKR relationship with DAP on state Pakatan Rakyat reflects his incapability in steering state PKR.
“At one point, he is seen as ‘true and true’ with PAS and would not stab this Pakatan partner.
“Suddenly he is toying with the idea of accepting the new ‘Parti Amanah’ and working things out with DAP/Amanah in the next election.”
He was commenting on Ba Kelalan assemblyman’s statement that he (Baru) was appalled by Najib’s effrontery in continuing to make statements, which he claimed the ‘rakyat’ (people) were tired of hearing and which only the most gullible die-hard Barisan Nasional (BN) supporters would believe.
Abdul Karim said Baru had now run out of issues against state BN and the chief minister and had resorted to ‘attacking’ Najib.
“His views that the rakyat are tired of hearing Najib’s comment and his view that 52 per cent popular votes did not go to BN during the last GE13 are rhetoric and stale comments. He must remember that since independence, Malaysia has always adopted a Westminster-style of election based on constituency and ‘first past the post’ and not on ‘one person one vote’ as normally done in a presidential election.
“Is Baru trying to tell us to ‘change the goal post’ and adopt the popularity votes system.
“I am sure and he would agree that if that is the system that he wants, he will not see a single ‘Orang Ulu’ as representative as their numbers are too small compared to the other races, and very likely would not be able to win any seats.
“On 1MDB and Najib’s comment … The matter is still under investigation. Malaysia is governed by ‘Rule of Law’ and it’s not for Baru to state his opinion that the government is not doing anything,” he said.
