Fresh Polls In Perak? It's About Time!

"The consensus that is emerging today among Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders is that even if the court of appeal rules in its favour this Thursday, it will still ask the Sultan of Perak to dissolve the state assembly to pave the way for fresh polls.

The Malaysian Insider understands that the Perak constitutional crisis was a major item on the agenda at today’s supreme council meeting of the ruling coalition.

The rationale for such a move is that the ruling coalition stands to lose more credibility and that perception that it is the villain in the Perak power grab would only grow.

A number of BN leaders told The Malaysian Insider that the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) had been effective in painting BN as the usurpers of power." from The Malaysian Insider

It appears that BN is finally coming to realise the damage the Perak Crisis has caused them. In order for them to salvage whatever dignity and pride left for BN, they must adhere to the pressure of the Rakyat. I think most Malaysians feel that fresh polls is the only way to solve the Perak crisis. Win or loose both BN and PKR must move on and do what they were elected for in the first place and that is to Serve The RakyatPublish Post

That's my two cents worth on this issue! Happy blogging.
