Its that time of the year again when as the Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will reveal the all important budget for the year ahead. As such, the local cyberspace forums are all ablaze with all kinds of potentials and taxes.
The budget isn't something that is plucked from the sky, and this is something that will affect every Malaysian given the challenging times ahead in world economy.
So days ahead of the budget revelation, the RM1 Economic Adviser of the Selangor Government (which by the way had an additional supplementary budget of RM194 approved in the last year) chose to unveil Pakatan Rakyat's shadow budget.
Now if that is not a publicity stunt what is then?
Pakatan Rakyat has been good at best in making claims and instigation. Let's l;ook at a prime example of how they are good with shadows.
Take for example the Shadow Cabinet of theirs....It contains a list of PR elected representatives that include now independent MP Tan Tee Beng (Nibong Tebal) and Wee Choo Keong (Wangsa Maju). As if that is not bad enough, it also contains MP Dr Lo Lo Ghazali (Titiwangsa) who passed aaway after a long battle with cancer.
Playing in the shadows is always easy, because when you do, most people will not be able to see what you do.
But a national Budget is much more important than that.
Isn't it so 'PR' to create another issue, when they cannot solve their own? What about Hudud? Even DAP cannot stop PAS from going ahead with a plan that is unconstitutional.
So if they ever step up to power, who do you think will lead the PR Government? Kit Siang, Anwar or Nik Aziz? Without a workable policy of power sharing, and evidence that DAP, PAS and PKR are on different pages, a gamble this big will only spell disaster.
I believed that they would have been a good opposition when I voted them in 2008, but they want to become the Government instead. Trouble is, they themselves cannot agree between themselves, and they expect to lead our country?
What is the power policy that PR believes in? Automobile Industry? Education? Any mention on research and development in the field of Nuclear energy? Aerospace Industry?
Sudahlah.....PR boleh main jauh-jauh!

Instead of Check and Balance system they decided to take control. Than again, unless crooks like Datuk Seri Anwar do not resign himself from PR. There is no way PR gonna change to it's initial purpose. Frankly, without him in the picture, opposition party is more transparent than now...
