Maybe, best if Anwar not be PM -- PR have other choices

Who will be the Prime Minister if Pakatan Rakyat manages to wrest power from the Barisan Nasional?

I believe that we are really putting the cart before the horse - for as it stands at present, BN still has the majority - and it is not that 'slim' a majority.

It is too early to be talking about who will be PM, DPM and who will be holding which Ministerial post......when Pakatan Rakyat take over?

At the moment, what is needed is for the Pakatan Rakyat to really work out what would be the real changes that it will bring about when, and if it were to get into power?

What would be its Agricultural policy, its Education policy....etc...? What are the changes that it plans to make? Would there still be the 'quotas'? In fact, all Malaysians are very curious as to what are the changes that will be happening... OR will it just be a change of faces in power, and nothing really changes..

All we know now is that there will be :-
** A drop of 50 cents in the price of petrol.
** An abolition of toll ----- not really? as nothing really has been said about that
** What else?? (Pakatan Really must look into this - and come out with more details...)

Who becomes PM is secondary...?

Maybe, the best thing to do is to set up a Government Advisory Coucil - who will be made up of the 3 leaders of the 3 main parties - Hadi, Lim Kit Siang and Anwar Ibrahim

...and someone else, acceptable to the 3, and the majority in Parliament be chosen and proposed as Prime Minister for the appointment by the Yang Di Pertuan Agung.

It is not healthy for anyone to say that he wants to be PM - or for others to say at this point and time that this person should be the Prime Minister, or that this person should never be the PM.

Malaysiakini, apparently have a position already, when it refers to Anwar Ibrahim, in its report, as "a self proclaimed prime minister-in-waiting - for the nation's top job".

Anwar Ibrahim, at this point and time, should just be the General of Pakatan Rakyat leading the war against General Badawi and the Barisan Nasional - in the war to govern Malaysia.

And when, and if the war is won, then we shall talk about the PM, etc - and as I mentioned earlier, it may be best that it be someone else who is PM - I would say that Syed Husin Ali is a good candidate for PM(but alas, he is not an MP - not yet anyway.) Maybe, Syed Husin should run as candidate at the next by-elections - that Kulim one...

Despite being repeatedly quizzed by reporters, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang refused to state if PAS would endorse Anwar - a self proclaimed prime minister-in-waiting - for the nation's top job. "Wait for him to win first and see if there are changes in Parliament. After that we will discuss . We will see who is acceptable to the plural society," said Hadi, in reference to the Aug 26 Permatang Pauh by-election which Anwar will be contesting. - Malaysiakini, 15/8/2008 -Hadi non-commital on Anwar's PM bid

The biggest problem with Anwar - is that a lot of people believe that all he wants is to be the next PM - and that is his motivation and his whole agenda...and this is a problem - for Malaysians are not interested in helping people get positions - we want changes - more freedom, more human rights, more transparency, more accountability, more democracy...

By the way, who is the Opposition Leader in Parliament now...after Wan Azizah resigned...mmm - surely not Anwar's man, Azmin..

Anyway, let us all now focus on the upcoming Permatang Pauh by-elections - and maybe the Olympics too....

RM1 million for a gold medal...RM300,000-00 for a silver medal...RM100,000 for a bronze, so says Najib. Government money, I am sure, which surely could have used to subsidize petrol or provide housing to the poor... The Badmintion guy is already going to get RM300,000-00, and if he wins RM1 million...what do you say about this?...
