The inaugural convention of the Pakatan Rakyat in Perak, held in Ipoh yesterday, has officially ushered in a new era of two-coalition politics.

Perhaps because of the furnace of trials and tribulations the Perak Pakatan was plunged in, its parties are said to have emerged welded together in greater solidarity. A manifesto was drawn up and debated upon.
At the national level, after what has happened in recent months, Pakatan leaders now realise the importance of formalising their alliance as an official coalition. The challenge is to then turn the coalition into a viable government-in-waiting.
Meanwhile, Zaid Ibrahim is due to speak on a “two-party system in Malaysia” at the Caring Society Complex in Penang tomorrow night.
Pakatan with its trial and tribulation will become stronger towards GE13. Look at Perak and you can see that it is now more cohesive than ever. By getting rid of … Hee, Badrul, Jeffrey & 2 Perak Adun, etc and recruiting more calibre candidates like Zaid Ibrahim who will monitor the blue print for PR, it will soon be on its way to snatch victory from from BN which are now infested with rubbish, zero KPi and corruptible people.
Anil,
Zaid Ibrahim forum is tomorrow night ( 2-11-2009, Monday)at the Society Caring Complex, Penang
Admission is free. Please come and enlighten your mindset on the latest political event and why Malaysia need a two party system.

On the other hand, Penang with its coalition which is now UNITED more than ever is now like a fortress that BN, UMNO, MCA and Gerakan would need more anything else their Zero 1Malaysia to penetrate. Tg Tokong will be solved by LGE just as KBP.

This is excellent. This is ground-breaking. It is unity and solidarity where it matters most, i.e. at the ground level. It is unlike the false unity of OTK and CSL, of Najib and Khairy, of Isa Samad and MB Hasan of Negri Sembilan. Syabas Pakatan !

Can someone tell me what the purpose of this convention? I saw LGE from news talking about PR things. Why he does not spend more time to attract more foreign investment after turning down a foreign investment totaling RM30 billions and thousands of employment opportunities. I expect more works than politic from LGE.

Exactly what is the purpose of the Gerakan conference when there were no question or discussion at all. Should`nt KTK concentrate more in monitoring the government performance that calling for his master UMNO Najib to defend him. No wonder even his own has to rate him Zero KPi. I believe the people of Penang would give LGE at least 7KPi but even with 1 KPI at least it is very much better than KTK. And one wonder how does he rate the BN KPI when he does not have one. hahaha

The 30 billion investment is another spin by Gerakanist in Penang. What 30 billion investment? Please use your head Gerakan K. Even the UMNO MPs had asked your president to resign for his incompetence and for that he had lost the entire state of Penang. For 30 billion, the investor can buy up three quarter of the Penang FTZ.
Nowadays, Gerakan people had nothing more to do than to do petty protests, and just look at how petty they can be in Penang. They are no good being in the opposition, though they started as an opposition way back by Tun Lim Chong Eu. But do you have any leaders in your rank who dare to voice the rakyat’s intention to UMNO. Come on, you are worst than MCA.
Saw the tv 7 News tonight? 90% of the respondent to a question by tv 7 answered that there is no way for a Gerakan comeback. We sent you out because of the corrupt and despicable Government. Just continue to dream Gerakan K. The DAP did not betray the trust of the people by joining the BN. Not like your Gerakan.
And we can see that the KBP issue is manipulated by the BN, but we are now clearly aware that the residents are now fully happy without the act taken by the State Government. If LGE had not been decisive, the issues would continue to linger till today with the BN, especially people like Gerakan K, taking full advantage and creating problems for the State Government. Now, what decisive decisions had Gerakan taken to resolve and to promote a better Penang for all Malaysians? Nothing!
Give up and join the PR, Gerakan K, you are fighting a losing battle. Save your time and energy and fight for a better Malaysia for all Malaysians!
With the mechanism under way to fortify the PR and the realization of a two party system, there is only good for the future of Malaysians or we will very soon be one of the least productive nation in SEA.

Here you are, Pakatan. Penang is now a shining example of a responsible government. Perak will be with Pakatan comes next election. NIZAR is the MOON that shines among the lesser stars. He will one day lead Pakatan. He has the charisma to become a good leader. He is a PM piece. Kedah, Selangor and Kelantan will remain under Pakatan. Pakatan will see success in Terengganu and Negeri Sembilan.At least 7 to 8 states will be controlled by Pakatan comes the next GE. The wind of change can now be felt. Pakatan now has many leaders of calibre to lead. It does not anymore have to depend on DSAI alone. Syabas, Pakatan. As for Gerakan, the party has become a foregone conclusion. No way that the party can make a come back. No way. PPP is finished. MIC, MCA and UMNO are sinking. The people are now bored with the same coalition running the country. They want change. When the people want a change, they see no logical reasoning to do so. What they want is CHANGE, no matter what defect they see in Pakatan. In politics this happens, always. I wish Pakatan good luck. The people are with you. Let the country have a 2-party system for the people’s benefit. Monopoly of power is not good for the people. We want better people to serve the rakyat. Syabas, Zaid for your farsighted mission to establish a strong alternative to BN. This mission will soon be accomplished.

PR Man,
Well, people like Gerakan K is like Chiang Kai Shek during chinese civil war. Chiang knew the writings on the wall. Kept on fighting till he kenna ousted.
Well, such people are beyond redemption. Gerakan can’t answer simple question as in who would be in power if BN is able to take over. What’s Gerakan game plan? By the way, everybody knew what happen during the UMNO retreat.
How does Gerakan gonna contain UMNO? Or yeah, technically speaking, Gerakan is as good as dead. Tee Kwong’s father predicted the demise of Gerakan ever since Lim Chong Eu brought Gerakan into BN.
Perhaps, Gerakan should leave like SAPP

Dear people,
Please take note that Gerakan K is not Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia under Koh super bodek, but (could be an) UMNO AGENT PROVOCATEUR who is out to create trouble in anil’s blog. Lately UMNO is (engaging) a lot … to cause trouble in popular blogs so as to divert attention from all the … UMNO/BN and Najib is creating…

This GerakanK fella wants the attention and this BeeAnn… is looking to get on everyone’s nerves here. Otherwise why would he even bother login here at all. Yes we practise democracy, so everyone has the right to comment. Let him in, let him bark, let him make dumb comment, let him make us hate the dumbos that he’s barking for. I suggest we ignore him, no point barking back.. after a while it will wither away.

This inaugural convention of the Pakatan Rakyat in Perak is historical, an opportunity for all three component parties – DAP, PKR and PAS to come together on common platform in solidarity. Well done to all especially Zaid for their hard work put in to make this a success and many more to come!
UMNO/BN can eat their heart out!

The resolution #6, ie
6. Continue with using the 5K principles as the foundation to work and rule – justice, honesty, integrity, welfare and transparency.
———————-
Where is transparency in Kg Buah Pala demolition? What many people wanted are just the full disclosure of exco minutes during LGE and KTK time that related to Kg Buah Pala demolition.
LGE already failed in transparency in this practical issue.
So, PR supporters, please wakeup and looking into truth. That 10 resolutions just material for publicity purposes. It serves no purpose in practice.

Gerakan K
Its best to call you idiot, moron or bodoh, stupid… DAP said no we do not want hudud or an islamic state. PKR never officially confirm to agree to PAS hudud law.And now again here where I will again say you are an idiot still an idiot.
What did your master Najib say and your Gerakan kept quiet like a mouse.
NAJIB SAID WE ARE IN UNITY TALK NOT FOR POLITICAL BUT RELIGIOUS PURPOSE. UMNO from Mahathir, Badawi and Najib and also your big mouth Lim Keng Yaik said “` Malaysia is an islamic state “`. And when it become truely Islamic whats next, Hudud law. Where are your and Gerakan stand. KTK, LKY and you dare not even retort to say this simple words. “ Malaysia is secular…
