Engineer to be Menteri Besar of Perak
Should the incoming Menteri Besar of Perak is Mr Ngeh from the DAP, I speculate UMNO-putras will take advantage to play the racial cards again. Mat Cemerlangs are at their disposal. The loose coalition DAP-PAS-PKR must have considered this issue to avoid future tensions and possible racial incitement.
Besides, I speculate the coalition have a few issues to ponder:
- Will Sultan Azlan Shah have the authority to overrule state laws to appoint a non-Malay as his Menteri Besar?
- Will DAP HQ approve a pact between DAP and PAS in Perak?
- Should DAP and PAS work closely together, what are the impacts on their performance in the next general election?
There are rumours the coalition in Perak have nominated Ir Mohamad Nizar of PAS for the MB post. We will see how an engineer lead the Perak government. Will there be more fly overs instead of U-turns in Sitiawan? Mr Ngeh who won in Sitiawan could be the next Deputy Menteri Besar… wohooo!
