KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 -- If previously Pakatan Rakyat (PR) regarded party-hopping as an antidote to their struggle, it has now turned into poison which triggered political crisis in Perak, Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said.
He said that PR was banking on defections to achieve its ambition of toppling the BN government but the very same method was now causing its downfall in Perak.
"This prove to be an enormous blow to PR that left the party dumbfounded," he told reporters after launching the Malaysia-Brunei photography exhibition at the KL Sentral station here.
It is worth remembering that it was the PR who started to entice BN MPs to join them. It also led to them chasing BN MPs to Taiwan when these MPs were on study tours. It was all part of a game to put BN on the defensive.
But now things does not happen as planned. Now PR cannot take the moral high ground and said that BN wants to take Perak by hook or crook. Do they forget about Anwar's dream to take over the federal government by 16 Sept 2008 by getting BN MPs to cross over.
If PR is in the same position in Perak they will do the same. Politics is about governing and power.
