DAP chairperson Karpal Singh's call for Anwar Ibrahim to step down as the Pakatan Rakyat leader was his personal view and did not reflect the official stand of DAP, said the PKR leader today. Anwar said that Karpal was disappointed with him for not agreeing with the senior lawyer in filing a suit against the Sultan of Perak over the sacking of the Pakatan government in the state. "Our opinions differ on the suit against the sultan. What he said was his personal opinion," Anwar told reporters after attending a Pakatan rally in Ipoh. He also dismissed Karpal's allegations that he had caused disarray in Pakatan with his calls for BN elected representatives to defect to Pakatan...Earlier today Karpal attacked Anwar for the disarray Pakatan was in at the moment, especially in Perak. The DAP politician also urged Anwar to step down as the chief of Pakatan, stating that Anwar had created enough trouble for Pakatan with his open calls of enticing defectors from Barisan Nasional to form the federal government.

As far as I know, Karpal has always been consistent in his stand against defections. That is good.

When DSAI mentioned about possible cross-over from UMNO/BN at the Federal level, DAP Chairman has proposed to UMNO/BN that anti-hopping law be set-up and UMNO/BN will get the 2/3 vote with the support of DAP MPs and PR MPs in Parliment.
However, UMNO/BN did not accept this DAP Chairman offer.
So, my questions to all the people who doubt about PR and doubt about intention of DSAI on the crossover issue:
1. Why BN did not accept the offer of DAP Chairman on the anti-hopping law?
2. Do you people think DSAI did not remember the Coup d'etat in Sabah 15 years ago?
The Answers are:
1. UMNO/BN did not accept the anti-hopping offer by DAP Chairman because UMNO/BN has every intention to repeat the Coup D'etat in Sabah 15 years ago in a dirty way.
2. Of course DSAI and PR remember Sabah Coup D'etat 15 years ago. Maybe this crossover prediction by DSAI at the Federal level is a bait to get BN agrees to anti-hopping law. DSAI cannot disclose this type of important strategy to you and me publicly. The political struggle is more complicated than just writing blog, I hope bloggers and rakyat who would like to see changes in Malaysia be more mature and less naive.
My final comment is Crossover from BN to PR should not be encouraged, but if people is genuine to crossover from BN to PR to fight for change, PR should accept BUT strict screening should be done before acceptance.
Example, if Datuk Zaid Ibrahim is a BN MP and intends to join PR from BN, is PR going to refuse his application?
PR is not UMNO, PR must accept and open to criticism, that is what many rakyat want to see, open political system in PR, not the UMNO system. Therefore, PR leaders should now sit down together and have a talk and move on.
