Netto comments upon a Mansor Matter
by Terence Netto@www.malaysiakini.com
COMMENT: Next time there is a PKR assembly upon strategising for a general election, attendees will have to be electronically vetted for recording devices. Otherwise what a little participants might say about assorted others from a Pakatan Rakyat companionship might wend a approach in to blogs as well as cause a lot of red faces as a consequence.
Then what a French philosopher Blaise Pascal held to be a adage about interpersonal family "I lay it down as a fact that if all organisation knew what others say about them, there would not be four friends in a world" would be reliable as indisputable truth.
Later this sunrise during a press discussion in Komtar, Deputy Chief Minister Dato' Mansor Othman, a PKR State Chief, in a presence of DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng, would in all luck try to rescind disparaging remarks he reportedly made about a Penang Chief Minister during a celebration plan assembly in March.
A recording of a remarks was uploaded in June upon an problematic website (there is an anarchic plethora of them these days even dedicated netizens find it difficult to keep track) where a potentially annoying things lay, like a predator undetected between a prey, until disgruntled elements in PKR called attention to it and, as a result, have right away succeeded in causing a outcry that Mansor, with assistance 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 d! eceive as well as how most due to a cussedness of tellurian inlet against that even a precaution of electronic safeguards would not be enough insulation is a question?
Who did it?
To strip a convoluted story to a bare as well as motive comprehending essentials, a single has to go behind to a plan assembly between Chinese leaders in Penang PKR as well as Dato' Mansor that was held in March.
One of a attendees was a chairman already nursing a grievance against a DCM1 that led him to secretly jot down what was said during a assembly upon fasten as well as keep it for vital deployment later.
Part of a reason for land a assembly was to reduce a fears of a Chinese leaders in PKR that should Sim Tze Tzin (right), PKR state assemblyman from a Chinese-majority chair of Pantai Jerejak, be chosen to competition a parliamentary subdivision of Bayan Baru, occupied 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 notice of them as unduly subservient to Malays, would be apt to perspective a PKR decision to concede a Malay to competition in Pantai Jerejak as fodder for a derogative perspective of them held by their counterparts in a DAP.
At a meeting, Dato' Mansor had to combat with these perceptions, that maybe were what led to a enterprise to overcompensate by taking PKR frustrations out upon Lim in front of a organisation of people who see a Penang Chief Minister as a epitome of what they dislike in a DAP ethnic chauvinism.
When in June a list of PKR candidates for a election was finalised, a single or dual obligatory legislators found that their names were excluded. It is speculated that a! exclude d, familiar of a life of a tape, sought to liberate their sarcasm during being dropped by persuading a tape deck to upload a material upon a little well 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 another of PKR's malcontents motionless to post a fiery red siren upon it.
This led to a tape's entrance in to a glisten of media broadside where something that was potentially troublesome yet latent is magnified in to a full-blown controversy.
Mansor might not continue as DCM
The upshot is this morning's press discussion where Mansor would have to go by a motions of renunciation as well as contrition as well as Lim would play a role of magnanimous skipper of a Pakatan boat of state by accepting a invitation as well as hinting that all's well that publicly comports to be well.
The ultimate result would be that after a general elections, Mansor cannot be Deputy Chief Minister since that would constitute an uncalled-for aspersion to a DAP. This would roughly positively meant that he will be tapped for a parliamentary subdivision of Nibong Tebal, occupied by Tan Tee Beng, formerly, like Zahrain, of PKR as well as right away of a BN-supporting eccentric organisation in a Lower House.
Come to think of it, this would be a great finish to a whole contretemps since Dato' Mansor, great male though, is not a leader.
He is a great engine room man, clever upon research as well as backing up a front pack, that was what he was when he was an educational in Universiti Sains Malaysia where he did great work for Anwar Ibrahim, that stirred a latter to have him his political secretary in a last years before Dr Mahathir Mohamad ex! ecuted h is decapitation in 1998 that was a trigger to all that is function today.
Talk of unintended consequences, politics is abundant with it not all of which, mercifully, is bad.
