Karma never forgetting

MM Online - Dr M: Pakatan has ‘secret weapon’ if EC blocks PKR logo for all (extracts):


PETALING JAYA, April 17 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) has a contingency plan in place should poll regulators bar the pact’s candidates from using PKR’s symbol in the general election, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad asserted today.

The PH chairman said this was to ensure that the 14th general election will be a direct contest between his pact and the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) as much as possible.

“We have some ideas, our secret weapon, as to what to do, but we can’t tell you or else the other party will know,” he said after chairing PH’s presidential council meeting at Menara Yayasan Selangor here today. [...]

The Election Commission (EC) was previously reported as saying it must approve the use of PKR’s logo by all of the pact’s candidates, before backtracking on its remarks.

However, Dr Mahathir and his allies are not taking things for granted.

“We will not be surprised if, a day before nomination day, the EC comes out to say Pakatan candidates can’t contest with PKR’s logo,” he said.


Almost two weeks ago I posted Pakatan-PKR logo okay but no double dipping in which:

EC chairman Mohd Hashim Abdullah issued a statement this morning to clarify the confusion which arose from news reports saying that Pakatan Harapan needed EC approval for using the PKR logo as planned.

In the statement, reported by Bernama, Hashim said he had only remarked that there could be any use of any Pakatan Harapan logo if the coalition has not been registered by the Registrar of Societies and it had not registered a logo with the Election Commission.

“What was stated at the press conference was that if a candidate intends to compete on a PKR ticket, then only the party logo is allowed to be used during the general election for campaign purposes.

Other party symbols cannot be used as campaign material. This would include the DAP, Amanah and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) symbols,” he said.

He said yesterday’s statement had been misconstrued to mean that use of PKR logo by other party members in the election must be approved by the EC.


So, it's OK to use PKR's logo BUT, for example, the DAP CANNOT use its Rocket side-by-side with the blue bulan nor fly the Rocket during the election campaign.

In other words, no double dipping, wakakaka. Basically the Rocket is grounded and dead, very dead, in total oblivion.


The DAP candidates are now stuck with the Blue Moon and possibly may appear to older voters as PKR-istas or worse, those holy mullahs - tough baby.

But Mahathir's ace in his sleeve, in the event EC tells Pribumi at the very last minute its candidates cannot use PKR logo, is as I suspect, for every Pribumi candidate to join PKR (not just using PKR's logo).

I wonder how late EC will inform Pribumi before Nomination Day and how long it will take for Pribumi's candidates to join PKR?

But for Mahathir personally, it'll be the greatest disgrace and humiliation for him to join Anwar Ibrahim's party as a refuge, when he was the very reason why Wan Azizah saw to the formation of PKR to save Anwar. What goes around certainly comes around.

Melayu bukan mudah lupa tetapi mudah menelan ludah sendiri.

    4. Again, why is Sinkie so 'kay poh' on Malaysian politics?

      I hazard a guess that Sinkies are fearful of ECRL's commencement that will rob them of their pre-eminence in goods movement thru ASEAN. Mahathir will help solve that "problem" for them.

  2. "It's desperation that has driven him to swallow his pride"

    That reflects quite well all these U-turns, mirages, karma inflicting wounds, kow towing, harmless, patriotic chants etc by The Black Cobra?

    Yet to be seen whether the Black Cobra has really been neutered before and after the big battle.

    Omitofu!

  5. there is no shame in doing what one has to do when one is going up against an opponent that is using every unethical means to fight like a coward...in fact it is most admirable...it shows determination and fortitude... if it goes too far the voters might just reward him with the last laugh

    1. thanks for your compassion for him. But Mahathir is a very very proud man who detests Anwar.

    2. but you have insinuated he has swallowed him own spit, how can he still be a proud man, you have to make up your mind...the both of them can take their detestation to the grave for all I care, no skin off my nose...what I care is the state of our country, any glimmer of hope to change it for the better even if its only my one precious vote that can make the difference

  6. No waves in Langkawi. Not even ripples. Only nipples. TDM looked so depressed and desperate after his candidacy was announced by Azizah. No tidal of reformasi. Langkawi is UMNO heartland. With PAS competing in Langkawi, it is clear who will lose.
