Subang Jaya state assemblyperson Hannah Yeoh, 30, makes no apologies for Sept 16, the date which Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim had set last year with an eye on history as the deadline for his alliance to seize the reins of power in Putrajaya. This is the Feb 6 posting in Yeoh’s blog, which is making the rounds in cyberspace, to dispute parallels between Sept 16 and the seizure of the state government in Perak in recent days by Umno. The ruling party had a lone MCA state assemblyperson and three independents, who earlier had resigned from PKR and DAP, in tow. “Those who argue that the political crisis in Perak now is a taste of Pakatan Rakyat’s own medicine – a reference to Sept 16 – fail to see the key differences between the two,” points out Yeoh, a DAP leader, in an honest comparison of the Perak crisis and Sept 16.
“When Anwar claimed to have the numbers to form the federal government, he wrote to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, requesting him to convene an emergency sitting of Parliament. This was rejected by the prime minister. “The next constitutional option was to press for the dissolution of Parliament to make way for fresh elections. This too was not entertained. “Anwar exhausted every constitutional means available to him. If Pakatan were to act unconstitutionally and lure defections, then we will be having a new government today. So, you can’t say that Najib’s coup in Perak and the Pakatan plan – Sept 16 – were one and the same.”
Ok, the very first time I read this said post by Hannah was in zorro-unmasked's blog. So, you may go and read the full post in Yeoh's blog. Her arguments and reasonings are simply superb. What else do you expect?
Yeoh, a petite Australian-trained lawyer, is treasurer for DAP Selangor. She was one of two Malaysians picked by the US Embassy last month to attend the inauguration of US President Barack Obama in Washington DC on Jan 20. A first-timer, Yeoh won the Subang Jaya seat last March 8 by a majority of 13, 851 votes when she polled 23,459 against MCA’s Ong Chong Swen, who garnered 9,608 votes.
WUAH only two Malaysians picked by the US Embassy to attend the inauguration of US President Barack Obama and she was one of them? I wonder who the other Malaysian was? Certainly not anyone from Barisan Natang! hehehe...In the meantime, read Raja Petra's latest:

Yes indeed this is different from how Najib & his Team of unethical,corrupt bribing freeloaders went about 'ransacking and stealing the Perak State from a Government led by Datuk Nizar-a Leader of great Integrity with a huge majority and respected by all Races in Perak.
Let the people of Perak not forget this when the next chance to vote come.
Lets send the Umno racist & corrupt to where they truly belong....the dustbins.
REFORMASI ! Hidup Rakyat !
