Anwar claims that Pakatan is strong enough not to fall apart

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of the PKR, who is currently on a 2 weeks lecturing tour in the United States told a crowd of Malaysian businessmen and professionals in Milpitas that the opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat will not fall apart as claimed by many quarters.

He said that while it looked like it is fraying, it will far from being so at the end of it all.

Anwar said “Things may fray around the edges but the centre will hold. The leadership council in Pakatan is committed to seeing the coalition hold firm against fraying tendencies at the edges. I believe the centre will hold, that things will not fall apart. The entire weight of the mainstream media is being used to paint the opposition as fractious and unable to govern. It is conveniently forgotten. That there is not only wide disarray in the ruling coalition's ranks, there is reason to believe it could also split asunder.”

He added that there is a firm agreement among the leaders in the coalition on making policies and hence, “This is the solder, this is the glue that holds the coalition together. There's no wavering on this cardinal principle, which is why I'm confident that the centre will hold despite outbursts and skirmishes now and then by individual operatives on the periphery of this coalition. The ruling BN was governing by the ‘momentum of the past’. But governments not only subsist by momentum of the past, but also by mastery of the present and by projection of credible hope for the future. The BN is floundering in the face of its current challenges and it cannot project hope for the future,”

The difference between PKR and Bn is, PKR has the courage and the intelligence to thrash out sensitive issues in the open and they, eventually walk the middle position acceptable to all the parties in the Alliance.... with goodwill and understanding. Can we say the same for UMNO-BN?

In this coalition, you have one master, UMNO. The other parties are just "BEGGAR PARTIES" licking the arsehole of UMNO.
No integrity, no dignity...simply shameless dickheads, willing to stoop to the lowest level just to fill their wallets.
On the long run, Integrity and strength practice by PKR will overcome corrupted and pariah politicians in BN

It has always been UMNO/BN dirty tactics to smear others; that only UMNO/BN can or know how to rule Malaysia.

They sure do know. I agree, hands down. Billions of money siphoned into their pockets. Kah..kah...kah... Until Malaysians have to beg for better public transportation, better security, better public services...a better Malaysia. They give us Petronas Twin Towers, Putrajaya, F1Malaysia, ...PKFZ (kah...kah...kah...), all the billion dollar grand projects. But alas...our per capita income still stays the same, developments still behind other countries, and all goods gone up.

Go to Thailand, they even have MRT. Go to Singapore, they say Malaysia is Cheap! cheap! cheap!. Go Indonesia now...they say their economy is expanding 4+% (they, the Indonesia, not ours), Come back Malaysia?....UMNO said, only we know how to rule Malaysia!....Kah..kah..kah...

Whatever, I feel good to see Selangor have better new Bus Stops, the road cleaner and tar better, surroundings seem very well kept now under PKR. At least we get something back not just bribery and superficial 'developments' from UMNO/BN.

UMNO/BN is dead right. They sure know how rule to continue fish money out of the Rakyat pockets and government coffers. Why worry, oil is oozing out from Petronas....kah..kah..kah...let them continue lick it dry....kah..kah..kah...then we are left with licking ourselves. That is what they want from us.

Long live PAS, DAP and PKR! You are the future of Malaysia. Let's clamp down on culprit BN.
