After a three-month lull, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has again raised the possibility of Barisan Nasional MPs defecting to the fledgling Pakatan Rakyat coalition. The opposition leader has avoided the topic since failing to topple the BN federal government by Sept 16 last year. However, he hinted at a ceramah in Pasir Panjang near Kuala Terengganu last night that eight BN MPs might join Pakatan. "As you know we want to increase our numbers. But as the Kelantanese say kohol-kohol, bit by bit, one by one," he said. Anwar said Pakatan Rakyat now has two defectors in Sabah, six more in Sarawak and another two from unidentified states are on the way. "With one more from Kuala Terengganu, we would have 93 and then there would be change," he said, prompting cheers from the crowd of about 600...Speaking to reporters after another ceramah in Kg Kubang Ikan, Anwar was coy about the details of the 'defection'...Anwar may be hinting at defections from Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS). The party has six MPs and has been courting controversy during the last quarter of 2008. (Source: Malaysiakini)
I think Anwar has delusions of grandeur. I am not a war strategist, much less a political stragegist but I think revealing your grand plan to the enemy is a not-so-wise decision right?
