What a pity.....the window of opportunity was lost when Badawi did not capitalised on his huge mandate to bring a change which will also forever change the political landscape in Msia. To regain back the support of the non Malays NOW will be a very tall order for BN. Even if in the scenario, I & many others return to BN folds, lets put a high (unbelievable) 80% support, Dr Kamal's suggestion will STILL not be realized with the spawning of Perkasa, Isma & other Malay rights groups, throwing a spanner in the works. So, sadly to say, what was said by Dr Kamal (which i can confidently say will get the support of majority of moderate thinking Malaysians) will NEVER get off the ground..... not in our lifetime.

Ibrahim was justified in retaliating!" ---------------------------- Ppl like social media user,  Deen Sangam need a serious knock on the head for defending IA & NS blindly. Its common knowledge PDRM is able to work efficiently & speedily in booking the so-called ppl attempting to proselytize the Malays in Penang or other states, if they utilize all their resources.(Personally speaking, I really hope PDRM do book those ppl if they do exist as I believe in living in harmony with all races) Without any substantial proof, are we, Msians gullibly suppose to believe IA's claims simply on hearsay? NS deserved all the brickbats she is getting, that's for sure.

Without them, Pakatan undoubtedly in shaky ground & in vulnerable position subjected to UMNO's interference & PAS holding the upper hand in deciding the next S'gor MB. Rewarding the PAS duo is timely & appropriate. It's time for new faces (PAS excos) in the Azmin administration.
