but will they be honoured?
I hope I can remember correctly... there was an MCA leader who promised to deliver 6,000 votes to BN, while a MIC leader promised 10,000! Since the time when leaders of political parties, associations and so on, promised 100% support for a national leader, I had given up on such rhetorics. Unless and until there was a referendum, how could anyone be sure of 100% support from members?
Voting is supposed to be in secrecy and there is no way one can instruct another on who to vote for, and making sure that he or she did as instructed. This anomaly gives rise to the calls by opposition leaders to accept whatever is promised by BN but vote the opposition! If more people do it then there might be less of such illegal and unwarranted offers at every election.
BN candidate from MIC, Kalamanathan promises to deliver the Parliamentary seat to the PM for having chosen him. On the other hand, Dr. Halili Rahmat quits PKR (ie. did not keep his promise to listen to party leaders as would have been expected of him) to join Umno, and he stated that it was not because he was not chosen (you believe that?). Why now?
MIC's troubled Maika shareholders have been told their shares will be worth at least their nominal value after a very long period. I have my doubts because the timing sucks, and again why now?
Now Ezam promises to reveal another of Anwar's secret deals. This begs the same question: why now? He has been keeping the secret (if any) for far too long. If this is not an election gimmick, I do not know what is.
