September 16th. 2008 should be an eventful date but it was an anti climax. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's claims to form the next government by boasting of having 31 Barisan National MPs crossing over to Barisan Pakatan Rakyat came to nought. His claims of forming the next government had caused a lot of tension and anxiety to the people. I would say it was an act of irresponsibility on the part of the defactor opposition leader just wanting to become the next Prime Minister without paying heed to the welfare of the people. I do not believe he has the majority of the MPS' behind him in order for him to become the PM by the back door. The people should not be taken in by Anwar's antics and bluffing. Why destabilised the present government which had been mandated by the people during the last General Election?

Is it a means to an end just by becoming PM without thinking about the stability and welfare of the Nation? He and his opposition MPs will have the opportunity to form the next government after the next General Election provided they have the mandate of the people! Then, I would congratulate him and the opposition MPs'. But not now! Please let the present government administer and rule the Nation and give them the benefit of doubt. If they don't govern well and effectively, then I would say the Barisan Pakatan Rakyat might be given the opportunity in 4 or 5 years time. For goodness sake! Please be an constructive Opposition Leader by giving constructive opinions and views in order the Nation to move forward.

The Nation is facing glooming economic uncertainties, high inflation rates which had burned the pockets of the common people, the reluctance of foreign investors to invest dued to political uncertainties, last but not least, the recent bankcruptcy of leading banks in Wall Street, U.S.A. are cause for concern. We should rally our citizens to meet the challenges head-on with dynamic solutions. My dear YB Datuk Anwar Ibrahim, it should your concern too in order to meet the challenges of the time so that the ordinary rakyat will have their bread and butter but not political rhetoric which does not bring any thing good to the Nation!
