They have no choice but to join PR on 916. For the simple reason that their supporters have shifted to PR. You have to go after your supporters. The alternative is to stay behind and swallow your pride, stay behind and be stepped on by BIG BROTHER UMNO every time. Remember, UMNO did not have the respect to even inform you before arresting TAN HOON CHENG. OKT and KSK were left looking stupid.

….. at the shadows
Louder as the days go by
Knowing not what are out there

The eyes blinking
The scary shadows ride
The empty train
The … got scared

Howling loud and clear
Calling for assistance
Calling for backup squads
There is nothing left
What must we do now?

The … bones disappearing
Slowly in the minds
There is nothing left to fight
The … got scared
Whining in the dark alleys
Biting the innocents going by

Knowing not what are out there
The … got scared
Using its sharp teeth snarling angrily
In the dark shadows
Things aren’t the same any more

It is darkest before the dawn..let's pray for the light to come soon. Anil, thanks for posting the updates on her situation. While we cannot be with her physically, it really helps to know and be with her in solidarity of spirit.

That explains why their action defies logic. Malaysians of all races are watching in disbelief at the desperation of UMNO-BN . Are we watching the death throes of a drowning regime?

But racism is a zero sum game. ... Not that the Chinese will take any unwise action but it will drive a wedge further between the govt and the Chinese community. This will put further pressure on Gerakan and MCA to pull out of BN. If they stay put, they will sever their last linkage with the Chinese community.
