I will follow party whip, says Razaleigh

KOTA BARU: Former Umno vice-president Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said he will follow the party whip if the proposed motion to pass a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi materialises.
If it reaches the voting stage, the Kelantan prince said that as a party member, he would likely vote for the party and follow the chief whip.
“I want what is best for Umno as I am an Umno member but the leaders at the top refuse to see the reality of things.
“They prefer spinning things and in the end, the party is now faced with possible defections from members of the Barisan Nasional coalition,” Tengku Razaleigh said.
“I hope and pray that this will not trigger an exodus by others who may have the same feelings as the SAPP,” he said.
Barisan and Umno, specifically, must start mending fences, consolidate its position and show strong leadership to prevent the political landscape from turning into chaos, he said.
He said his recent prediction that a Barisan component party might leave the coalition before the end of the month appeared to be coming true.
The sole independent MP, Pasir Mas’ Datuk Paduka Ibrahim Ali, said he would liase with PAS, which is his strategic ally, to determine his vote.
Ibrahim said the SAPP move was another example of how even Barisan component parties had lost confidence in Abdullah.
He said this may spark more parties or individual MPs to follow suit.
PKR strategic planning director Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, who is Machang MP, said all 31 MPs from PKR would vote en-bloc based on the party’s decision which would be made after a political bureau meeting.
Saifuddin said PKR would also consult PAS and DAP.

tunku : good move by kuli. right now the party is under threat not the prime minister.we don't care the future of the prime minister but we care the future of this nation.hence we have to act wisely.as for pak lah we will deal with him in other way and pak lah too have to realize that this is not a move showing supports for him but for the party and nation.if he has any shame and dignity, he should have quit by now.this man is shameless.

Serve him right!!!

Awat Lebai Dolah tak faham-faham akan kehendak rakyat?
Lebai Dolah memang tak reti atau saja buat bodo kot... kena pandai baca kehendak rakyat dan jangan sampai rakyat mengaibkan Pak Lah saperti yang mereka lakukan kepada Wan Mokhtar dan Samy Velu.
Banyak lagi pemimpin yang setaraf dengan Lebai Dolah TETAPI yang lebih bijak dari Lebai Dolah boleh dikira dengan sebelah jari sahaja... oleh itu baik beLah!!!
