introducing pakatan rakyat… and forum by dr m

ok so finaly those 2 opposition parties… er… federal opposition parties but state governments of 5 states, came together to form a single party known as ‘pakatan rakyat’ (people’s alliance). good. i hope they will hold on to their pledges which is ‘to uphold the rights and interess of all malaysians’.

PETALING JAYA (April 1, 2008): Leaders of PKR, DAP and PAS today announced their agreement to form Pakatan Rakyat (PR) or People’s Alliance, whose policies will be reflected in those made by the state governments of Kedah, Kelantan, Perak, Selangor and Penang.

In a joint press conference with DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang and PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, PKR de-facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the coalition pledges to uphold the rights and interests of all Malaysians, regardless of religion or race as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.

He said the five states controlled by the coalition will be known as PR state governments.

in the meantime, on the same day, there was another gathering of sort too.. a forum for ex PM, dr M, organised by mykmu.net (umno supporter website). the other umnoputera present were khir toyo, mukhriz mahathir, umno Johor publicity chief puad zarkashi and NST former editor ahmad talib.

read again from sun2surf what he had to say at the forum… of course what else but lashing out at PM badawi. malaysiakini report also tells us that he blasted PM for having no shame because he refused to quit, and blaming the arrogant kid, the son-in-law for the loss in the recent election.
