Election Integrity Pledge - What are Pakatan Leaders waiting for?

When he (Nik Aziz) was appointed as a Menteri Besar, he was sworn in prior to a Sultan. He should have told a Sultan it was nonessential to pointer as what is critical is in a heart. This is all dull talk, just politics." Nazri Aziz upon Niz Aziz's response to Najib Razak's Election Integrity Pledge [Opposition Leaders have been Scared - Bernama twenty-three Feb]

Nazri Aziz is not someone I've credited with too many things but we must admit he's spot upon here with regards to Nik Aziz's avowal which a "nawaitu" or "intention" is some-more critical which actually signing a Election Integrity Pledge. The PAS spiritual leader must be so detached from our real, earthy universe to have thought of even observant something similar to that. Holier than we as well as me, for sure.

I am not a usually one thinking which Pakatan leaders should not have too much of an emanate out of a EIP, if they unequivocally wish a fair as well as clean election. Just since Najib Razak has done it initial does not meant they still can't do it. And just since Nazri has ridiculed we does not meant we should continue with a ridiculous stand as well as say which a "niat" is some-more critical than a tangible deed.

Here's a mail reflecting which perspective that's been present upon a mail:
