(malaysiakini) PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has dropped the clearest hint yet of impending crossovers to Pakatan Rakyat. “I can safely say that several MCA MPs will join us soon,” he told journalists yesterday, after opening a service centre in Bayan Baru, Penang.
However, as with previous assertions of the same variety, that was all he was prepared to reveal. Anwar has been keeping the public on tenterhooks since the general election on March 8, with repeated claims of crossovers by Barisan Nasional (BN) parliamentarians, especially those in Sabah.
He said that discreet meetings have been held in Hong Kong, Manila and Singapore, to avoid scrutiny, and that “even a cabinet minister met me”.
At a rally held last night in City Stadium, George Town, the former deputy premier worked up the crowd with similar promises.
“It’s about time that we take over. It’s only a matter of time for us to take over. We are so close to Putrajaya,” he said to roars from some 30,000 people.
“It’s very soon. I will not say how (soon). But it will happen soon.”
He stressed that defecting MPs would have to accept the Pakatan tenets of good governance.
Anwar used the rally to obtain a ‘referendum’ on replacing the federal BN government and taking over as premier from Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
He and other Pakatan speakers exploited the escalating cost of living triggered by the fuel price hike, to bombard the BN government and raise the tempo of a disenchanted crowd.
“I can guarantee you all today that if Pakatan Rakyat were to form the federal government today, we will bring down the oil price tomorrow,” said Anwar.
YEAH!!!!!!!! Way to go DSAI but hurry up!

its red herring. no MCA MPs would have the galls to leave coz it would mean goodbye to goodies.
watch it as BN scrambles to cover MCA, the Sabahans (sans UMNO Sabah) will say adios to BN. And they will be joined by UMNO MPs from Peninsular Malaysia.
Whatever the arguments for or against frogs, the consensus is that at least we dont have Rosmah to be the PM.
Go go, go Johnny go...go a go go...DSAI you better kota your janji....go go Johnny go...
