BN ready to form new government in Perak, says PM

PUTRAJAYA, Feb 4 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN) is ready to form a new government in Perak following four assemblymen in the state quitting their parties to support the BN, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

"We wish extend our thanks if they have taken the decision to state their support for the BN, the BN accepts and we say thank you," he told press conference here Wednesday.

It would be interesting to know the reactions of Dato Seri Anwar on the fall of PR government in Perak Darul Ridzuan. This is because Anwar was the one who had boasted that he has the number of MPs to take over the federal government by 16th September last year (2008). 16 Sept came and went without anything happening. I suppose it must be very painful for him and PR to lose governing a major state like Perak. It seems that Anwar's psy war has boomeranged back to him.

It would be a real body blow to Anwar and PR especially with their ambition of taking over Sarawak in the coming state elections. BN on the other hand will get a psychological booast after their defeats at Permatang Pauh and Kuala Trengganu.
