At the moment the rakyat appears to have a leader who says one thing today and then says something entirely different the next day. He is such a flip-flopper.
Remember sometime in July 2011, before the 9th, he offered to met Bersih 2.0, then he sort of "ayam-out". Instead he wanted Bersih 2.0 to meet with the Pdrm and stadium management.
A long time after 9th July had come and gone, he claimed that he had offered a stadium, the Shah Alam Stadium to be exact, for the use of Bersih 2.0. But he never mentioned it or he never had the time or his memory was running out of space. Bersih 2.0 never received such an offer of the Shah Alam Stadium.
Just a few days ago, on 15th Aug, when he announced that a Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) would be set up for electoral reforms, he was quoted by Bernama as saying: “This is so that we can reach a consensus in facing the next election without any suspicion about any manipulation by the government".
Yesterday, the PM appears to have gone back on his words. TMI reported :: Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today (19th Aug) that general elections can be held “anytime” and will not depend on the proceedings of the parliamentary select committee on electoral improvements that will be formed in October.
It appears to the rakyat that the PSC could just be a sandiwara and as many suspected a delaying tactic to buy time for himself and his party and to divert attention away from the 8 electoral reform demands of Bersih 2.0 and the rakyat.
At such times, when the rakyat needs honest and rakyat-friendly leadership, we appear to be having a flip-flopper for a leader. Maybe it is time for the rakyat to pray for guidance.
