KOTA KINABALU, April 23 — By Malaysia Day, Pakatan Rakyat will form the new government. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said that he expected the crossover of Barisan Nasional MPs to take place before Sept 16.
This was the first time that the defacto leader of the Opposition alliance has put a deadline to the collapse of the Abdullah administration. His choice of Malaysia Day is interesting given that today’s press conference was in Kota Kinabalu and he is due to visit Kuching soon. The people of Sabah and Sarawak have a special attachment for Sept 16 – the day they became part of Malaysia.
By putting a deadline, Anwar is attempting to rattle further the Abdullah Badawi-led coalition already weakened by infighting in Umno and hamstrung by the difficulty MCA, MIC and Gerakan are having in reinventing themselves.
Interesting times....
