PAKATAN Rakyat can keep on dreaming of a dissolution of the Perak state assembly. Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Najib Razak said a dissolution was not the only way to end the political dispute there. He reminded the opposition that the ruling coalition has the majority to rule the state.“Remember, BN was the biggest party (after the March 2008 general election) Sultan Azlan Shah agreed to appoint Nizar ( Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin ) as menteri besar after the state assemblymen (from Parti Keadilan Rakyat, DAP and Pas) signed declarations that they support him (to head the state government).
“Now the three (DAP’s Hee Yit Foong, and PKR’s Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu) signed declarations to support BN (leading to the appointment of Datuk Seri Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the new MB).
“The sultan could have (re)appointed Tajol Rosli (Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli) but based on the spirit of democracy, the ruler agreed to appoint Nizar even though Pakatan Rakyat is not a legal entity.
“PR has lost the majority…we are using the same principle… it is not undemocratic or unconstitutional (to take over the Perak state government)”, Najib said.
He said the problem in Perak arose over Pakatan Rakyat’s refusal to accept reality.
“Why did they suspend six BN reps… it is against the spirit of democracy. We have the majority in Parliament, we can also suspend 20 opposition MPs (but) we cannot do as we please.”
To a question from reporters covering his trip here to attend the Coral Triangle Initiative Summit in , Najib said the calls from within BN for a dissolution of the state assembly was merely “differences of opinion”.
“We will take it into account (but to take over the government)… is not against democratic principles.
“Changing of parties happens in other countries, too. Winston Churchill did it many times, and recently a US senator also switched from the Republican party to the Democratic party.
“And remember, who wanted to steal 31 MPs from us to take over the government on Sept 16 (last year)? The first attempt to grab power was by PR… we didn’t start it but when they fail (and we succeeded), they accused us of grabbing power.”
Najib repeated his willingness to meet with Pakatan Rakyat leaders and that there should be no pre-conditions.
tunku : that is right najib.the pakatan rakyat is tasting the medicine that was made by anwar the moron.

frog culture and 916 are desperadoes' tactics
That's how you should explain to the rakyat...
the truth and in plain language..!!!
Should we forget that a year or so ago these 3 independents have signed declaration in support of PR in presence of the Regent when installed. A year or so later they have broken their pledge.
Further can independent assembley persons stay independent if they signed declaration to support a party, more so when they have openly declared in their early press conference they would take stand as they deem fit and beneficial to their constituents irrespective of party.
Why continue to stay independent and not join Barisan Nasional if they want to support the party.
Are we going to make a mockery out the word "INDEPENDENT".
Thats you version alright. You also has to read other people`s mind on the same subject to make sure which medicine suits the illness
...in politics anything can be said but things done that carries the weight, anwar said jump for free without a fee but now we see frogs jump with millions in hand....why take anwars words for granted on jump ship only why not take his words and make him pm....anyway the people know that back door policy is wrong whether it is anwar or najib who execute. now that najib had done it so he got to taste the bitter medicine from the public. anwar is smart he started the game but najib ended it, so face it......
They tried almost everything to ensure the present Government fails.. Non stop, one after another, to disrupt the peace and harmony of our country..
They tried our Agung, the Courts, the Sultans, the DUN.. and finally, the Rakyat!!
I fully agree to ...yeah and the bitter taste stays in the mouth for a long time..

maybe we should revisit press statements made by DSAI regarding BN MPs crossing over to his party..after the just concluded General Election last year.
And, I guess...after the relentless attempt from DSAI to win them over.
In football...sometimes attack is the best form of defence. And, I suppose...that's what BN did!
