...and these diversions are good for my "Bhai" brothers !

My friend Nick remarked today..."Punjabi voter turnout was unusually high in the Permatang Pauh By-election....they came out in full force thinking it was a "bhai"-election !

But coming back to the chaotic situation in my beloved "Silver" state, have you noticed the many diversions and "focus shifts" from the real issues suddenly ? And protests are held condemning Karpal Singh's attack on my Sultan which is considered by some "okay by our culture" but not the other protests organised by PR, and the calls for resignation of Anwar, Hadi and Kit Siang, with another moronic MP implicated for a "marriage" scandal paving the way for a "bhai"-election in Kedah, and yet another "sudden" death in Bukit Gantang leading to another "bhai"-election ! Don't forget the warrant of arrests issued to the 2 who leap-frogged to BN, one of whom has obtained an MC for failing to turn up in court for corruption charges BUT were they healthy enough to be at the swearing-in ceremony in the palace this morning ?? Can somebody tell me ? Hmmm.... and the predicament of the de-facto ex-MB Nizar's office in limbo !

My... oh, my..... what an interesting series of "irrelevant" issues.....but who's is minding the day-to-day running of Perak and the country itself, now ? While everyone from politicians to "political wannabes" are so busy drawing much needed attention to themselves and getting whatever cheap publicity then can garner for future political mileage......the whole world is grappling with the financial crunch, with prices of commodities are still on the up and up, and crime rate is escalating to dizzying heights, simple folks with families to feed are being laid off jobs and all eyes and talk is in Perak and the "bhai" factor !! Sheeesh !!
