IPOH: The top level Umno-PAS dialogues should be stopped as it would lead to speculation, said Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.Noting that the speculations were not healthy, Nizar pointed out that it was the Prime Minister who eagerly wanted the talks between both parties.
"Pakatan Rakyat is not in dire need of that relationship as now we are stronger," he said Thursday.
Speaking to reporters after launching the public service work quality group convention at the State Secretariat building here, Nizar said he was more open to the idea of muqabalah (face-to-face discussions).
"You cannot disconnect relationships between individuals. We cannot avoid meeting or extending salam (greetings) with leaders of other parties," he added.
On whether the muqabalah would lead to uneasiness among Pakatan Rakyat component parties, Nizar said: "I don't think so as there had been an understanding among the three parties."
On a suggestion by Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang that the talks should be on Malaysian unity, Nizar said that would be one of the agendas."The main agenda concerns all Malaysians and not a particular community," he said.
Asked about Kelantan's proposal to hold an inaugural meeting of mentris besar and the chief minister from the five Pakatan Rakyat states, Nizar said it was a good idea.
"There are many issues that need to be ironed out with the Federal Government such as water and land.
"With the meeting, the five states can speak as one voice to present their views to the Government," he said.
Kelantan had proposed the meeting to be held next month to counter allegations of a split in the alliance.

hai there!
i dont wanna comment anymore about the muzakharah/muqabalah because i am already tired of it.
but what's interesting is Kelantan's proposal to hold an inaugural meeting of mentris besar and the chief minister from the five Pakatan Rakyat states.with that the five states can speak as one voice to present their views to the Government which is a good idea.i hope both the govt and pakatan rakyat can find solutions to the matters especially involving the betterment of the rakyat if the meeting between them do exist in the future.
but still somehow i sense that some people gonna make speculations over all these. :)
Wow. Now its show time form the MB Perak. He is trying to backup nik aziz on his statement of objecting muzakarah and replace with muqabalah.
Nah, It would not make much different. This guy is just maintaining the hot issue from being fade way.
The idea concept of those two terms are similar, so that is nothing to discuss about. He is just making things more blur and complicated with their agendas.
DAPAS sound like errr..
anyhoo, I rather fond of this MB thinking, while Anwar is harboring the fact that he have the backing of Borneo MPs' to jump ship into PKR, Pak Lah seems trying to sell the fact that he still care about the Malay and while PAS rejecting their invitation 'for the sake of Malay' he can show that PAS is now become irrelevant toward Malay sovereignty..
For me, if a meeting is done with a 'special' intention, it wont be as fruitful as it sound like.
Pendekatan TEGAS perlu digunakan utk menegakkan kembali kedaulatan Melayu dalam Tanah Melayu. Perjanjian yang telah dimeterai dulu perlu dipelihara dan disematkan. Sekiranya kita fikir perjanjian itu adalah berat sebelah, maka secara tak langsung kita telah membenarkan kenyataan yang Tok-nenek kita dulu semuanya bodoh2 belaka.
What this menteri is saying contradicts with what's happening right now.
"Pakatan Rakyat is not in dire need of that relationship as now we are stronger,"- really? the way I see it, PKR is calling all the big shots in PR.
"there had been an understanding among the three parties."- then why are there news that your fellow PR members demanded explanation from PAS's decision stating that they were not informed about the dialogue.
"the five states can speak as one voice to present their views to the Government,"- I don't think so, even with lesser number (3 parties in PR), they didn't manage to come to one conclusion for all let alone by 5 states, with a mixture of power from three different directions.
This is an MB who is talking to save his own postition as the Menteri Besar.
Clearly if Perak's constitution did not have a clause which accepted only Muslim's as MB, DAP would have had thier own MB today in Perak..
This PAS MB is going to be kicked out soon, once DAP manages to put some changes to the perak constitution removing the requirement of MB being a Muslim.
and there you have DAP MB in Perak too while it tells PAS to go fly kite.
