Nurul Izzah resigns without explanation.
She’s out for lunch with KJ and Rafizi next.
Surendran reminds us of KJ’s “main belakang remark” about Anwar.
Doesn’t take a genius to figure out that he’s wondering why the hell Anwar’s daughter is having lunch with a man who hasn’t apologised for calling her father a “main belakang” sort of a chap.
Quietly some 40 UMNO members are trying to save themselves by joining Pakatan Harapan (PH).
Why quietly?
Because Nurul Izzah, KJ and Rafizi’s lunch has stolen the show.
Tomorrow when they have lunch again, it’s going to make news.
It’s that easy to make the news.
It’s that easy to forget what’s going on as well.
Well, let me remind you, what’s going on is dire.
What’s going on is a new PH government failing.
Why?
Because the guy I had teh tarik with earlier today told me that eggs cost more today than before.
Because that same guy who used to be in UMNO can’t believe how frogs from UMNO can so easily be considered as members of PH today.
That guy I had teh tarik with is good man. A Malay gentleman from Sungai Gelugor.
Because I am the MP in the area, he was polite enough not to offend me. He didn’t want to be harsh and asked me simply,
“Ram, I tak paham kenapa dah jadi macam ini. Kita buang sama UMNO tapi sekarang dia orang macam dulu “.
He was absolutely right.
Why?
Because we are no different from UMNO if we can consider accepting the very people we voted out, all of whom so far are from UMNO, into PH. It is like saying to the Rakyat,
“Thank you for your vote but to hell with you . I have my own plans”.
So carry on having your lunches Nurul, Rafizi and KJ.
It might make news for a day or two but the reality of it is the Rakyat are becoming tired of this nonsense, this drama, this wayang.
They want you to perform. Not have publicised lunches.
Please stop.
Move on to more important things like how to reduce the price of eggs today.
And of course, how to make sure Anwar Ibrahim succeeds Mahathir Mohamad in less than two years from now as was promised.
That was the promise whether we like it or not.
