Fluke victory

Imagine if you were to win a 100m race, competing against 8 of the best sprinters in the world. You claim the gold. You were given the recognition as the best sprinter. Imagine how good it feels to taste that type of victory.

Much like how Rafael Nadal must have felt when he beat Federer for the Australian open. Must have felt pretty damn good to beat one of the best players in the history of tennis.

That type of victory is sweet.

The type of "victory" UMNO has been declaring? Sour and bitter and frankly, really really sad. Not the boohoo type of sad, but the Dude. How SAD ARE YOU? type of sad.

"Both the National Front and the three-party opposition alliance now have 28 seats in Perak's legislature, but Najib said his coalition effectively has control because the three independent lawmakers "will support" the National Front in any vote.

"They have lost confidence in their own party," Najib told a news conference. "We have got the majority to form the (state) government. " - Y!Malaysia

I am pretty sure Najib must have said that with the biggest grin his face could muster.

What type of victory is this? The three lawmakers deserted the party that actually gave them the pass to succeed in the General Election? And now they are supposedly "friendly" with the BN? What type of politician is that? No in fact, what type of human being is that?!

And there the BN is welcoming these sorry excuses for men and wearing their desertion of PKR as proudly as a victory badge?
Seriously, how very SAD is that?

Just as how you UMNO shoved aside the BOTA assembly man because he jumped ship possibly labeling him "disloyal" , here they are welcoming the very same species they have discredited into their own party.

Let us not talk about how these members have "lost faith in their party". These jumpers are not jumping due to the fact that they lost "faith in the party", its more along the lines of how much money they can get in each party. I bet down to the very last sen in my account that BN must have dangled a HUGE CARROT in front of these money minded frogs to leap over.
PKR and BN does not even have similar ideas of development or progress. They have different ides in running the country, spending the rakyat's money. Everything is different. The only similarity is probably that both parties claim to have the rakyat's welfare at heart.

So, how is it possible for a person from PKR to "lose faith in their party" and jump over to a party which does not even have similar ideals or ideas? HOW?


If I am pro choice, how do I suddenly jump over to being pro-life??

It just does not make sense to me.

Then again, I am not a donkey who has a big carrot dangled in front of me. So I would never know.
