Pak Lah in Denial

Now I tend to believe that Anwar Ibrahim does have the numbers to for a new government. Pak Lah seems to be stalling for time, perhaps time to arrest Anwar on trumped up charges of sodomy. If he meant what he said about Anwar bluffing, then he should just call for an emergency sitting and call his bluff, instead he delays - again. Pak Lah also says he's got his ear to the ground, did I hear right, or was it his ear to the pillow. Please Pak Lah, you've lost so much credibility, wouldn't it be more graceful (and less embarassing, I must say) to leave before being ousted?

One might be inclined to believe that Khairy had a hand in the decision to switch portfolios. With the switching of portfolios, Najib and his supporters will have to support Khairy's bid for UMNO Youth Chief. Najib should be wary taking on the Finance Ministerial responsibility in such a tough environment. It'll be very easy to just blame Najib for any screw ups later on, despite it being Pak Lah's mess in the first place.

Interesting times we live in. Can't wait to see what unfolds tomorrow.
