Where is DSAI?

Selamat Pagi Malaysia. I need a strong Short Black! The natives are restless in Johor but The Night of the Long Knives is about to descend upon those in that Khemah Besar in Johor. That is why I require a strong Short Black coffee to start this rant of mine.

There has to be a balance. Between the young and the old. Between the eager and earnest new guys on the block and the old fellers who have seen it all. Between the vim, vigor and the drive that the young can bring and the steady, street-wise savviness that only time can give.

We have it all within the Opposition, and yet we do not. For even as they are all in the same Khemah Besar, they are not speaking to each other in the same lingo. Each lost in their own self-importance. Each accentuates the negative, not the positive. A conundrum of self-interests, breast-beating ME, ME, and ME - as if they are the only people that matter. And yet everyone is telling us that we are in this march to Putrajaya together? Really?

We are done with Malacca. By any criteria, you care to measure, the Opposition failed. Let me be more precise. The Opposition failed miserably. Pakatan Harapan, the defacto Opposition, had good intentions, but good intentions never win elections.

Johor is now on the horizon. Already, BN have been gifted with an Opposition divided under two flags. PKR and PH. And then came MUDA. They are together with PH under the Khemah Besar and yet they are not. And like the Steward rearranging the deck chairs on the doom Titanic, PH and MUDA are rearranging the Kerusi in Johor.

For all I care, they can rearrange the tables if they want to, but do so within the four walls of decency, grace, equitability, and togetherness. And do so quietly, without BN knowing that there is trouble in the Khemah Besar.

If you guys cannot even comprehend the need for these niceties…then you deserve to be trounced by BN again as they have trounced you guys in Malacca. And we will be there at the end of the day telling you guys…..”I told you so!”

It’s Monday. I got the whole week in front of me. I have already put up with PH going into Johor under two flags. Then I am told that PH has set up a Khemah Besar somewhere in Johor. I am not allowed into that Khemah Besar but even from 6000kms away in Melbourne, I know that ‘keadaan tidak tenteram’ in that Khemah Besar. And now that basic premise of PH working with MUDA is being loudly questioned by the very participants of that coalition. What madness is this?

And above the fray is Pejuang. I am not even going to second guess what Pejuang is doing up there above the fray. Tun Mahathir can...and yes, I know him, but he does not know me. So can someone do the asking?

And Warisan should help and not hinder the PH-MUDA alliance and they should all eventually work together! That way, success will be assured kan?

But where is DSAI? Can someone tell me where DSAI is?
