It is going to be a long Sunday

Po Kuan mentioned Parliament session starts on Monday and asked if Cheng would be interested in attending. But she had already booked to visit her friend in Hanoi, followed by a visit to Sabah’s diving spots.

With the sensational SAPP’s proposed motion to pass a vote of no confidence, this coming Monday’s Parliamentary session will be packed and everyone in and outside the building will be waiting for news of whether it will be allowed and if so, the reaction of the rest of the MPs. Though every MP is expected to toe party line, most people are expecting some unexpected actions, either by individuals or political parties.

These days, with the many flip-flop decisions, what we hear at a moment in time might be different at the next. The latest unbelievable flip flop related to a court case where the magistrate had earlier freed the accused and later sentenced him to jail, based on the same case and evidence adduced!

Anwar had counted on the two SAPP MPs as Pakatan’s and require only 28 more to take over the government. Many people do not take him too seriously and Zorro was not too bothered about political correctness and principles in his post, if indeed Anwar has the numbers to do so.

I would like to think that Anwar is testing the waters in stages, depending on the reactions of the PM, parties, MPs and the public. The stakes are too high to expect an easy take-over, not that I expect it to happen on Monday. This Sunday is going to be a long one while we wait for the outcome.
