Disappointed? Truly yes... The opposition has all the opportunity to call for bloc voting on 26th November 2020 but Anwar Ibrahim, the slected opposition leader choose to call off the bloc voting at the last minute... my, oh my...
After what is said and done, Anwar came out with his version of why he calls off bloc voting at the last minute citing that the opposition will go all out for bloc voting during the committee stage of budget 2021. Good call?
Many attacked his move with DAP bearing the brunt of dissatisfaction due to Anwar's late call. I, for one, did not agree to his move. Calling for bloc voting does not mean that you reject budget 2021 but calling for bloc voting on 26th November 2021 is to get the voting done right ie properly recorded instead of the "voice" vote which is disadvantageous and improper to ladies of the house including Wan Azizah. Does Anwar expects his wife and daughter Nurul Izzah to shout at the top of their voice to say "nay"?
Some in the social media miss the point and equate bloc voting to outright opposition to budget 2021. No amount of explaination can enlightened them, many of which are ardent fans of Anwar. Just for supporting "bloc" voting, these people thinks that as greenlight to PN and worse, start to stamp those who agree to "bloc" voting as Tun M, UMNO, PAS, BERSATU, Azmin's cronies and supporters. I guess they must go back to basics and start their political study at kindergarden stage... tsk tsk
With all the hues and cry about coming full force during committee stage of budget 2021, Anwar (yes, Anwar) failed to deliver on 30th November 2021. 2 bloc voting called on 30th November and all he can get is 95 votes, short of minimum 110 votes. That means he is still short by at least 15 votes... there goes his self glorification and endless gloating of having enough numbers...
2 ministries goes through on 30th November ie PM Dept and Finance. If Anwar has the numbers, then the committee stage for Finance department should be first voted down. He failed. Reason? Warisan MPs were absent and that is 8 votes. Warisan gave their reasons... and Anwar better listen if he needs the numbers. Where can he get the other 7 numbers?
The balance committee stage that might go for bloc voting and Anwar's chance to "show" his numbers are :-
Dec 1
Dec 2
Dec 3
Dec 7
Dec 8
Dec 9
Dec 10
Dec 14
Dec 15
| Round | Ministry | Vote Type | Aye | Nay | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 | Education | Pending | |||
| 27 | Higher Education | Pending |
If Anwar and the opposition still fails by 9th December 2021, then its Sayonara to Anwar and budget 2021 will be approved at the committee stage. As PN can gets more ayes in the committee stage, Anwar and opposition will see their chances dwindling by the day. Wonder, what excuses will Anwar comes out next?
Come to think about it... is Anwar really a PM material or is he doomed to be PM Rakyat forever? His supporters are hell bent to see him as PM and too obsessive to see alternatives. Right now, it is time for PH and allies to look for next generation to take over. Tun M's era is over, Anwar keeps on fumbling... who else is there?
Anwar should stop acting like he knows all and potrays as the best alternative to abah din. His style of leadership is causing uneasiness with his allies and if he continues his game, PH may be wipes out in GE 15...
Why? Hey... I have been observing this game longer that you guys think. I see the ups and down of PAS, see the Ku Li saga, Wawasan team.. even getting angry for the Memali incident and amanat Hadi. Not only that, I experience the time when the students stands up and demo in the 70's and observed how Anwar reacted during those times and how some student leaders ran helter shelter overseas to excape prosecution. I have seen the time when Najib turns "lallang" and much more...
Time for Anwar to rethink and face reality. If he is not to be Pm, then groom someone else to take the oppostion leader post and gives him full support. Once, wice, three time strikeout... Anwar must learn and act humble. Not just talking but show with action... If Anwar don't have the numbers, say so and relieve his supporters of the misery of false hopes and wet dreams...
Latest:
Let's take 30th November numbers. Anwar needs Warisan to give him the numbers. Warisan has voiced out their dissatisfaction. Maybe, now it is Anwar's turn to swallow his ego and talk to Warisan for their support. With Warisan support and UMNO's absence in parliament, there might be a way to win in "bloc" voting.
The problem is - Anwar is too big for his ego and overated himself (more of oversell). Will Warisan change and attend the parliament sitting during future committee stage of budget 2021? Over to you, Anwar... good luck. Stop trying to play with numbers or build suspense... our stockmarket is watching....
Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
