Parliament Motion

Several newspapers today concluded that if a no confidence vote was tabled in Parliament, BN would easily win it just like yesterday's support for the Consumers Affairs Ministries motion. I hope this is just the papers editors assumptions. I hope Pak Lah would not take the issue lightly.

Sometimes I wonder, loyalty for an Assemblymen/MPs, is it for the sake of the people who vote for them or is it to the party they are aligned to? Are they really voicing the rakyat concern or just follow the leader? Bear in mind that if they go against the government's motion, immediately they will be treated as a traitor. Remember, last time when Chief Backbencher supported a motion by the opposition, he was made to resign his post and apologized to the party! Previously I admired him for his strong principle and wills to go against the leader but now I am skeptical.

Back to my topic, if the no confidence motion was tabled yesterday, there would be a different result, especially from Sabah & Sarawak's MPs. Can they be bought by RM2 or RM3 billion of provision? Can somebody define "political bribery"? If Sabah and Sarawak was given huge sum of money because they won most of BN seats, what about Pahang or Johor?

I hope newspaper editor don't likened the result of yesterday's motion as a show of confidence, there could be some MPs just waiting for the opportunity... you never know what is their game after all they are all politician...
