Of Covid : politicking and threat...

This is not good. This sudden spike of cases since the recently concluded PRN Sabah is hurting Malaysia in more ways than one. Whilst Klang valley is placed under CMCO, the rest of the country suffers the same with Sabah leading the country in terms of infected patients.

Still, the politicians are placing priorities in a different order than the rest of us... To them, power is the axis of their existence, compared to ordinary citizens who are praying for the pandemic to pass Malaysia in the near future...

Look around you in Kuala Lumpur and you will realise that the norms is no longer there... Gone are the normal early morning traffic and the mid day lunch hour is scarily eerie. The Menara cluster is affecting Telecommunication players and spreading like peatfire, waiting to burst wide open.

Simmering next to it is proton whereby some of its employees has been tested positive. 49 tested positive is not a small number. Combined these 2 and we have a potential threat that burst into a gulf of fire.

When everyone is concerned about this threat, what did our politicians do? They are busy strategisiing how to maximise their political stature and standing. Abah Din is not willing to accept the fact that he has loss the confidence of MPs. Instead of thinking how to make a graceful exit, he is busy dealing to keep his position. Frankly, whatever he offers will not satisfy UMNO in a long run. It will be more like a short-term reprive which can see a shocking end if and when budget 2021 is tabled and goes for voting. I fear the thoughts of Abah Din failing to get the numbers to pass his budget...

Abang Non (Anwar) is no different. He choose this time, of all times, to nudge Abah Din off the PM chair. He claimed he has the numbers but he did not reveal the list of names supporting him. His strategists claim this is to prevent harrasment to the MPs supposedly supporting him. As sudden as he make his announcement, abang Non goes on stealth mode and let his supporters and the rest to take up his issue... be it for and against.

Tun M and Ku Li? Being veteran politicians, they keep the guessing game interesting. Many will write off Tun M... I say, he has his worth... the only problem is I cannot fathom Tun M's next step. Not like Abang Non and Abah Din whose next step is easily read. Ku LI, in my opinion is not interested to helm the country. The most he wants is to be an interim PM to ride off Covid wave...

YDPA has his own interpretation of what should be the best step to end the political stalemate. To me, Art Harun should step up and play his role well and let the man with the most support runs the country... I look forward to see the same gusty Art Harun of 2015. Call for an emergency sitting to resolve the issue... let those elected do it once and for all... 

If fate has it that MPs stick to Abah Din, then let it be. If they opts for Anwar to take over and finally realise his dreams of becoming PM then we should accept him as that. he MPs can also fall back on an interim PM with unified all-party participation, I can digest that... be it Tun M or Ku LI...

Honestly, sitting way back here, I hope Abah Din to relieve his post and let others to take the mantle. Abah Din has done his part... and he needs to rest and attend to his health...

To me, KKM has done their best and TS Norhisham is overburden with the rising Covid case. He don't need the meddling and power hungry MPs to make his day worse. Is it too much to ask?

 Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
