Very disappointed with the actions of the BN Perlis. Really thought they would step up with the rest of the country to be a better party, to show a better form of opposition, to put the needs of the people above own desires. Also, they should respect the request of the Sultan of Perlis. Was really hoping for a change in attitude of the BN. 

I don't know about you but I am pretty disappointed. Really hope that in the next UMNO election they can elect a leader that can bring change in UMNO to be a better party, a clean party. 

I am glad however that PAS Perlis has decided to support and respect the Sultan's decision.

The DUN problems in Kedah

Would like to see PAS Kedah follow the footsteps of PAS Perlis by working with the State government in protecting the interest of the people. Another disappointment for PAS despite claiming to be an Islamic party but has not shown an exemplary behaviour in this matter.

Perhaps it wants to play a political game in expense of Islamic values. PAS has won these seats as elected representatives and they need to represent their constituency and to work together with State government for the sake of the people. When Johor MB expressed his reluctance in helping the opposition, everyone reprimanded him. I would like to see PAS members and supporters to remind their elected representatives to portray the best Islamic characters rather than to adopt devious political traits.

PAS claims that their non co-operation stems from PH not accepting PAS proposal to form a joint government in Kedah without opposition. That would also include the 4 BN state assembly. That offer seems pretty strange to me, as the best way for governance is to have a mature opposition that will work well with the government in matters that benefit the people and to criticize any wrongdoings. Since PAS is an Islamic party, its main role should be 'Amar Maaruf, Nahi Munkar' which is to Enjoin the good and Forbid the evil. That should be their central objective rather than power struggle. Therefore, was hoping for PAS to portray an exemplary Islamic characteristics of forgiveness, co-operation, sincerity and generosity.

Maybe there is still light at the end of the tunnel and that the central PAS leadership will instil the Mature Political Culture within PAS Kedah.

It looks like the future of this country relies on us, the ordinary people to speak out and to ensure all parties (government, opposition, media etc..) are on the right track.
