UMNO TAKING PAS FOR A RIDE

Some PAS leaders had a talk with UMNO. According to Pak Lah, they had had three rounds of talks. UMNO at this moment needs PAS very desperately. Although both parties claimed that they talked about Islam and the Malay rights, some reliable sources said that UMNO had offered to cooperate with PAS to capture Selangor.PAS spiritual leader, Nik Aziz, however, is not that keen on the talks. He said" one should not be bitten by the same snake in the same hole twice."He was referring to the bitter experience in which PAS was kicked out of BN many years ago.Many PAS leaders are also very skeptical about the talks.

In any case, the talks had created a lot of controversials in the socierties. Some are happy to see that Malays are united. But others, particularly those non muslims who had voted PAS in the last election , expressed concerns and worries. They are worried that PAS had betrayed them. Whether PAS would be able to get their supports again in the next election yet to be seen.

In fact, we do not oppose any dialoques between PAS and UMNO. But they should be talking about democracy, freedom, religion tolerance , transparency, judiciary independance, accoutability, zero corruptions and integrity instead of talking along the racial line and Islam. We are all Malaysians. All of us should have equal right. Thus in the declaration of independance by the United States, it was declared that all men are born equal.

If our leaders wish to be leaders of all races, they have to be fair to all races. If the leaders are biased against any race, they would be abandoned by the rakyat.
