1. MCA current turmoil.
Wang Hang Tam, whose brother is Wang Fak Yu, is always joking to me "Mati Cina Association ! I want to join UMNO." I said UMNO is no better.
Worse, in fact, because in 1987 the Courts declared it illegal, something MCA hasn't experienced. But maybe MCA can learn from it. But the sight of Muhyiddin so earnestly trying to act statesman-like makes me want to laugh. It's like seeking advice from the enemy. Certain things in the party must be handled like a marriage, and I'm not trying to copy Muhyiddin here. Only the husband and wife can settle things amicably. The more people who interfere, the worse things become.
2. Vested interest in PAS Kelantan administration.
It's never right, whoever does it. It's worse if done by someone who claims the moral highground "holier than thou" attitude. I say that a true "ulama" doesn't enter politics. The moment he does, he loses the "ulama" honorific title because of the way politics is run. There is an obscure hadis that relates to a ulama who was sheltering from the rain under the eaves of a house, but upon realizing whose it was, walked away and out into the rain. When his companion asked why, he said the house owner borrowed money from him and has not yet repaid it. Now, that's "alim." To have your son-in-law work for you constitutes vested interest, surely.
3. Court decisions.
Once you submit anything for the courts to decide, you are liable to its finding. SPR is subject to the courts. There are case laws and the statute books. We have legal submissions. The final decision remains with the courts, all the way to the apex court. If a bye-election is deemed necessary, then bye-election it is. If the reason for dispute is procedural, it's additionaly asinine. But, the corollary, the courts can also look idiotic by saying human behaviour follows strict time limitations. Crime never follow the clock.
