malaysiakini and the POLITICAL INTRIGUES

It is a sad day for Malaysia's democracy when politicians have scant regard for the voters by de-stabilising state governments as the case in Perak.
In this malaysiakini article Perak speaker informs EC of vacant seats two state seats have been declared vacant after the two state assemblymen went missing for a few days and their party leadership had to submit their resignation letters as there were rumours of a crossover to the BN camp.
This is dirty politics and should not be condoned and the BN appears to have much experience at this as what happened in Sabah years ago.
The tactics are the same: there are inducements made or threats issued - ie the carrot and stick approach.
As we seek change in Malaysia, we should not accept this kind of political game as it will only hamper the nation's progress.
If politicians of whatever ilk play this game, we too as responsible voters should also play our cards right. Let us vote out any political party that seems guilty of such political bribery.
