No U-turn No snap poll it is PAS roundabout Khalid resigns as S'gor MB
The Speaker…robbed of all dignity by politicians PAS is already losing its credibility big time. It should at last guard whatever little it has left. Sabotaging DAP’s and PKR’s effort to make Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail the new Menteri Besar of Selangor and telling Malaysians that HRH the Sultan of Selangor is behind this sabotage is taking Machiavellian politics a bit too far. PAS Youth Chief, Suhaizan Kayat, said that his party proposed Azmin Ali as the second candidate for Selangor Menteri Besar after Abdul Hadi Awang’s meeting with His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor.
“The PAS president has relatively good ties with the Selangor Palace. On the fourth day of Syawal, he was summoned to appear before the Sultan. As a result, the president made the decision that an alternative nominee must be presented to face eventualities involving the palace and Datuk Seri Wan Azizah,” said Suhaizan.
I remember PAS was the same party that organised a demonstration in front of HRH the Sultan of Perak’s palace in Kuala Kangsar and threw stones at HRH’s car. PAS screamed about palace interference in politics and vilified the Sultan to kingdom come.
And now PAS is doing the opposite. PAS is breaking ranks with Pakatan Rakyat by insisting on two names when they had earlier agreed on one name (after earlier agreeing on two names) and they are telling us about a private meeting with HRH the Sultan and that it is the Sultan who insists on these two names.
What game is PAS playing? If they want two names then propose two names. If they want to defy DAP and PKR then defy DAP and PKR. But why should they blame HRH the Sultan for this and say that the Sultan made them do it.
If HRH the Sultan did command PAS to propose two names would this not be palace interference in politics? And if you agree to palace interference in politics in Selangor why rant, rave, shout and scream about palace interference in Perak?
PAS is already losing its credibility big time. It should at last guard whatever little it has left. Sabotaging DAP’s and PKR’s effort to make Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail the new Menteri Besar of Selangor and telling Malaysians that HRH the Sultan of Selangor is behind this sabotage is taking Machiavellian politics a bit too far.
Even Machiavelli had his limits and he was not even a Muslim who upheld Islamic values or nilai-nilai Islam. I am beginning to wonder whether Islam is any longer the agenda of PAS or are some people in PAS planted moles of Umno who are being paid handsomely to break up Pakatan Rakyat (and blame the Sultan for this breakup)?
On the Selangor MB Crisis, lets examine who gain, who loss and who neutral LOSS 1) PAS is the biggest loser in this episode. They loss their thrust worthy and their credibility. The party will be seen backward and extreme. Impact on them will be negative on women votes and non muslim votes. Believe majority muslims will also be negative impacted by their action. Stabbing partner at critical time is not what muslims would like to see. 2) Hadi leadership in PAS and Pakatan. He has the take full responsibility of what happen in this crisis 3) Pakatan will loss some of their credibility but no negative impact on DAP. PKR may have slight negative impact. 4) Khalid Ibrahim. He will loss his credulity but will be no loss to him if he did not intend to make a comeback. GAIN 1) DAP credibility remain intact. 2) UMNO to a certain extend appear good but would be better if they did not announce their support for Khalid 3) Sultan gains the most but depend on his next move.

Expressing concern oveWithout disrespect, but honestly I really don't feel that the Sultan has shown any respect to the people of Selangor in making his decision, the people have given mandate to Pakatan Rakyat as the government of Selangor in the last election, thus whatever decision PR made or how well the state has been run, PR has to answer to the people of Selangor in next election, how would it be fair to PR if they have to face the people when they can't even have their decision on the MB of Selangor? The Sultan should stay above politic and allow PR to face the consequences for whoever they choose as MB to avoid being blamed later on by PR that the MB was not their choice but the Sultan choice!r the outcome of the PAS meeting yesterday over the Selangor menteri besar imbroglio, its central committee member Mujahid Yusof Rawa said the sultan may conclude that Pakatan Rakyat parties are not united on this issue.
However, the Parit Buntar MP stopped short of saying whether this would prompt the sultan to dissolve the state assembly, paving the way for a snap election. It's not the number of names but who commands the majority (biggest majority) of the State Assembly persons that should be appointed to be the MB. It should only be one name but instead 2 were proposed, and now, HRH wants 3 names. So, what gives? The Palace asked for more than one nomination from Pakatan. On the surface it may appear as smart move. But this could backfire on the Sultan depending on this next move. If the Sultan took upon himself to decide who become the MB then he too has to be responsible for the success and failure of the MB. This will take away his impartiality. On the other hand, if the Sultan put these nominated candidates to vote in the state assembly then this will turn out to be an excellent move. This is because if the Sultan were to accept Wan Azizah claims for MB, there could still be doubt on his support especially from the two PAS state assemblymen who have signed the SD. One of them has in fact publicly stated that his action was more for removing Khalid rather than support Wan Azizah. By putting this on vote, it is not just transparent but to put to rest who actually got the majority support in the assembly. Thumb Up to the Sultan if he chose the latter move.

Najib's dream Anti-PAS political realignment in the coming months PAS being decimated in Malaysian Politics
PAS's Riddles and Lies,
Why drag the palace into deciding unless PAS has other motives?PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli is unperturbed by PAS’ refusal to allow its remaining 13 of 15 Selangor state representatives to sign a statutory declaration (SD) to back Wan Azizah Wan Azizah as menteri besar.

Is it unIslamic for PAS ulama and their syura council to support a woman to be menteri besar? Can PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang make a public statement that they are against a woman MB?It is no use if the one appointed by the sultan does not get the support of the assembly. If the Selangor state constitution is not the final law to follow, it might as well be thrown into the drain
The mandate given by the rakyat to Pakatan to form the Selangor state government and to appoint the MB not Abdul Hadi Awang PAS behind PKR president Wan Azizah sabotage Abdul Hadi Awang is taking Machiavellian politics a bit too far masquerading as friends seductive power of disruption parrots same old lies gave two reasons. One was based on religion, the other was qualification,” said the source, referring to the previous argument that being a woman, Dr Wan Azizah, would not be able to lead.
The Selangor Menteri Besar’s Special Duties Officer, Azrul Azwar Ahmad Tajudin,that he is connected to the fake Kajang Move document on PAS Intimation Letter making its rounds on social networks.has bungled in stemming escalation rift between PAS and DAP-PKR the political saga of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has been dragging on for far too long. Granted, it was triggered by power struggle within the party, Perhaps PAS is working on a strategy to 'run with the Pakatan hares and hunt with the Umno hounds', but what does Mustafa mean when he said: "Tuanku can choose, Tuanku can choose who he wants"?
The success of PKR -- PAS alliance could stoke a rethink
PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang yesterday saw his own party men rebel against him.The meeting saw Hanipa Maidin, the Islamist party’s Sepang MP, and Hadi in a heated exchange over moves to get PAS support Azmin for the top state post over PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail,
There was tension as Hanipa questioned the move to support Azmin as 30 other lawmakers have already expressed support for Dr Wan Azizah. Hanipa wanted to know who else would support Azmin," one source told The Malaysian Insider, adding no answer was given to that question.PAS holds 15 seats in the 56-seat state assembly while PKR has 13 and DAP also 15. The rest are 12 Barisan Nasional (BN) lawmakers While acknowledging the fact that it won an unprecedented number of seats in the past two general elections by forming an alliance with PKR and DAP, it has the unmitigated effrontery to not back PKR in the most desperate of moments and callously leaves it to the sultan to decide on the pressing issue.No sooner did this trends will materialize into results that there was a marked dip in the spirits. Leaders, while calling the show disappointing, can further aggravate 'PAS versus rest' political polarisation moved in to dissociate mascot If it is not, then say so and KhaIid Ibrahim/BN will have only 13 votes without PAS. This is important for the sultan to know. being reconciled to defeat PAS in state contest,
What If UMNO decides support Dr Wan Azizah to starve PAS of oxygen could nudge them to close ranks, believing all was not lost yet.
Its decision is actually a not-so-subtle message to PKR and DAP that it does not agree to PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail being the MB and that it is willing to part ways with the parties.
PAS is openly revealing its sexist stance as well as its unreliability as a partner in the opposition coalition. It pretends not to understand the meaning of the system of constitutional monarchy.
PKR and DAP would be better poised to take over the government without PAS in the fray.It was the Selangor voters who overwhelmingly gave Pakatan more than three-quarters majority over Umno-BN to be state government and it is the Pakatan representatives in the state assembly that should select the MB.The Selangor sultan only has to endorse the selection as in any constitutional monarchy. The sultan does not choose, otherwise he contravenes the state legislation. PAS has an agenda, they want to leave Pakatan but dare not, and only waiting to be sacked from the coalition and put the blame on Pakatan so that they can join up with BN and form a unity government to take over Selangor.
Whatever the outcome of the appointment of the MB, rest assured PAS will pay dearly for the stupidity of their leaders. After all, they got kicked out in Terengganu and Kedah.
Mustafa and PAS leadership, take ownership and don’t not pass the buck to the sultan.
