It had turned into a regular shouting contest between Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen in the state. Whenever they bump into each other, be it at the coffeeshop or wet market, the air would be full of cries.
“You quit!”
“No, you quit!”
“YOU quit first!”
“No, YOU quit first!”
“Coward!”
“No, YOU coward!”
Like boys arguing in the schoolyard, these men are challenging each other to resign.
Following Dr Zambry’s challenge to all Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen to resign and prove that they have the support of the people, Pakatan Rakyat have thrown the challenge squarely back to Dr Zambry.
“Zambry is challenging us to quit because it is the only way he can think of to get us out of office,” said a Pakatan Rakyat spokesman. In Pakatan Rakyat’s press release, the party pointed out that as the Mentri Besar, Dr Zambry should lead by example. If he wants the Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen to resign, Dr Zambry himself should resign first. Pakatan Rakyat said they would gladly follow Dr Zambry’s footsteps and resign after Dr Zambry had shown the way.
With both sides refusing to budge, this has resulted in shouting matches between the two groups whenever they bump into each other on the streets. To better prepare themselves, Pakatan Rakyat has distributed portable loudspeakers to all their members. Truckloads of lozenges were also spotted arriving at the Mentri Besar’s office and there are rumours that should Dr Zambry decide to resign, an international lozenges brand is ready to make him the official ambassador of their product in Malaysia.
