Let us now wait for PAS

There is a special prayer that Muslims do called solat Istikharah to seek divine guidance. Perhaps the PAS have done this and the signs show, this country is better in the hands of clueless Najib.

If PAS feel strongly for Khalid for whatever reasons they have, then they should leave Pakatan. They must team up with the 12 UMNO ADUNs to save Khalid. For without Khalid, Selangor is lost. There is none cleverer than Khalid Ibrahim to manage Selangor. The men closest to God in the Dewan Ulama can’t be wrong. Surely their payers are answered eagerly than prayers from heathen-like Muslims.

The 12 UMNO ADUNs have been instructed to support Khalid Ibrahim to stay on as MB. On paper there are now 13 ADUNs supporting Khalid including himself.

I wrote earlier, Khalid will listen to UMNO in not wanting to rush things. It is fortunate that the next sitting of Dewan Selangor is in November. I am not sure whether ADUNs can sign a petition requesting a dewan siting earlier than calendared. .

I hear many people say that only the Sultan can call for a dewan siting. If this is the case, then, in future the law must be changed instead of letting it be an ass. The law should be used to dispense justice and righting a wrong. Denying the members to dispatch a business of extraordinary importance and urgency is innately wrong. The business of the house should be determined and set by the sitting ADUNs. To me that ought to be with the aduns and  the speaker an overriding right to set about the business of the house.

For the moment, it appears nothing can be done until the house sits. When it does, we can see whether Khalid’s declaration that he commands the majority in the house is a lie or not. If its proven that actually he hasn’t got it all along, then he is lying to the sultan. If it turns out that way, I hope the most loyal subject of the King of Selangor, Syed Ali Al-habshee of UMNO Cheras will be man enough to condemn Khalid for being a heinously disloyal subject. I hope UMNO Cheras will then move a petition to strip Khalid of his Selangor honorific titles and maybe even declare him persona non grata.

What now for PAS? Because it has shown it supports Khalid , it does not have any choice but to declare it is breaking away from Pakatan. Then it can be with UMNO and strengthens the cause of the Malay-Muslm ummah something both UMNO and PAS have been fighting for. UMNO for the Malay and PAS for the ummah. That would be a partnership made in heaven and for a party admitting hat it speaks with divine right, it must be so.

This they must do so quickly because the Malay-Muslim ummah is in danger. They are the most economically disadvantaged. The King is threatened. The Islamic religion because the faith of its adherents is so ephemeral is being attacked by Christians and other heathens. PAS should not wait until the 17^th of August to embrace UMNO.

It will now instruct its 15 states reps to align themselves with UMNO and Khalid Ibrahim. The move will make the people in support of Khalid to 28.

When that happens it will be a Mexican standoff. Because PR has 28 reps too, DAP has 15 including the speaker and 13 from PKR.

Because the next sitting is in November, this will provide time for UMNO operatives to scout out the lean and hungry among PKR and even DAP. Earlier on in my article, I singled out PAS and PKR as being being possible hunting ground for recruiting UMNO friendly ADUNs. Looking closer, it is not impossible to discover there may be some politician of conscience in DAP who may want to stick with Khalid.

If all the 12 PAS people can be induced with some immediate financial rewards, all 12 may jump on Khalid’s gravy train. All it needs now is to buy a few more from PKR say 5 of them and 3 from DAP. Set aside a budget of RM1 billion to make this agenda happen. Before November, Khalid can triumphantly enter the DUN Selangor and count heads. He will then submit to the Sultan, he indeed commands the majority in the house.

PAS can even negotiate to have one of its people readied to assume the MBship in the near future. It has more seats than UMNO and so it can demand the seat.

There is a flip side too. If because of Khalid, PAS decides to break away from Pakatn, it would perhaps been an opportune time for the Islamic moderates in Pas- the erdogans, the anwaristas or however they are described to leave PAS. They should form their own centre party and in a Malaysia whose people desire more of moderation than the extremism so loved by people like Nasarudin Tantawi, a separate party consisting of Islamic moderates will attract adherents. More Malay professionals will liely join such a party.

If that happens, in parliament PAS may end with only 5-6 MPs.

Come the next elections, PAS will emerge the losers because by that time, UMNO ought to have infiltrated the PAS held areas.
