Mansor tripped up by PKR malcontents



Next time there is a PKR assembly upon strategising for thegeneralelection, attendees will have to be electronically vetted for recording devices.

Otherwise what a little participants competence contend about assorted others from a Pakatan Rakyat fraternity may wend a way in to blogs as good as cause a lot of red faces as a consequence.

Then what a French philosopher Blaise Pascal hold to be a adage about interpersonal family - "I lay it down as a fact which if all men knew what others contend about them, there would not be four friends in a world" - would be confirmed as indisputable truth.

mansor othman 300909Later this morning during a press discussion in Komtar, Deputy Chief Minister Mansor Othman, a PKR state chief, in a presence of DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, would in all luck try to disavow disparaging remarks hereportedly madeabout a Penang arch apportion during a party plan assembly in March.

A recording of a remarks was uploaded in Jun upon an problematic website (there is an anarchic engorgement of them these days even dedicated netizens find it formidable to keep track) where a potentially annoying stuff lay, similar to a predator undetected among a prey, until ! discontented elements in PKR called courtesy to it and, as a result, have right away succeeded in causing a furore which Mansor, with help from Lim, would have to onslaught to tamp down.

How most is this rarely avoidable incident due to politics - which, even during a slightest deplorable, is practice to deceive - as go! od as ho w most due to a cussedness of human nature - opposite which even a precaution of electronic safeguards would not be enough insulation - is a question?

Who did it?

To strip a convoluted story to a unclothed - as good as ground comprehending - essentials, a single has to go behind to a plan assembly between Chinese leaders in Penang PKR as good as Mansor which was hold in March.

One of a attendees was a chairman already nursing a grievance opposite Mansor which led him to surreptitiously jot down what was pronounced during a assembly upon fasten as good as keep it for strategic deployment later.

NONEPart of a reason for holding a assembly was to reduce a fears of a Chinese leaders in PKR which should Sim Tze Tzin (right), PKR state representative from a Chinese-majority chair of Pantai Jerejak, be selected to contest a parliamentary constituency of Bayan Baru, assigned by Zahrain Mohd Hashim who defected to a eccentric benches, Sim's chair would not be given, as bruited about, to a PKR Malay to contest.

Chinese PKR leaders, sensitive to a DAP Chinese ! perceptio! n of them as unduly subservient to Malays, would be apt to perspective a PKR preference to allow a Malay to contest in Pantai Jerejak as provender for a derogative perspective of them hold by their counterparts in a DAP.

At a meeting, Mansor had to wrestle with these perceptions, which perhaps were what led to a desire to overcompensate by taking PKR frustrations out upon Lim in front of a group of people who see a Penang CM as a summary of what they be vexed in a DAP - ethnic chauvinism.

When in Jun a list of PKR candidates for a election was finalised, a single or dual incumbent legislators found which their names were excluded.

It is speculated whic! h a excl uded, apprised of a existence of a tape, sought to liberate their rancour during being dropped by persuading a tape deck to upload a material upon a little good known blog (they did not go to a stridently anti-Lim Guan Eng blogs since they feared exposing their identities) where it lay unheralded until an additional of PKR's malcontents decided to post a fiery red siren upon it.

This led to a tape's entry in to a glisten of media broadside where something which was potentially bothersome but implicit is magnified in to a full-blown controversy.

Mansor may not continue as DCM

The upshot is this morning's press discussion where Mansor would have to go by a motions of disavowal as good as contrition as good as Lim would play a role of magnanimous skipper of a Pakatan ship of state by accepting a proffer as good as hinting which all's good which publicly comports to be well.

The ultimate outcome would be which af! ter a g! eneral elections, Mansor cannot be DCM since which would consecrate an unwarranted aspersion to a DAP.

This would roughly certainly mean which he will be tapped for a parliamentary constituency of Nibong Tebal, assigned by Tan Tee Beng, formerly, similar to Zahrain, of PKR as good as right away of a BN-supporting eccentric group in a Lower House.

mansor othman 300909Come to think of it, this would be a good finish to a total embarrassing mistake since Mansor, nice male though, is not a leader.

He is good engine room man, clever upon investigate as good as subsidy up a front pack, which was what he was when he was an academic in Universiti Sains Malaysia where he did good work for Anwar Ibrahim, which prompted a latter to make him his domestic cabinet member in a final years prior to Dr Mahathir Mohamad! execute d his decapitation in 1998 which was a trigger to all which is happening today.

Talk of unintended consequences, politics is rife with it - not all of which, mercifully, is bad.
