PAKAN, SUN:
The Pakatan Rakyat (PR)’s aim to form the next government by this September, is nothing but hot air.Deputy Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum said the group had spoken incessantly on the claim.“If PR is really strong and have the required numbers of elected representatives, including those assumed defectors from the Barisan Nasional camp, it should go and meet the King right away to ask to take over the government,” he told reporters today after attending a meet-the-people session organised by the Special Affairs Department at a longhouse here.But they were dilly-dallying, he said, and supposedly waiting for Parti Keadilan Rakyat advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to lead them, indicating their lack of confidence, support and preparedness.“Personally, I believe they are only making hot air and surely, Anwar is not indispensable,” said Salang, adding that the rural people in particular, should not be swayed by such claim and unwittingly give their support to the PR.He said it was easy to be swayed as the opposition was promising the luxury of a much-reduced fuel price when they formed the government.On the proposal by the Rural and Regional Development Minister to provide water and power supplies to all villages and longhouses in Sabah and the state within a 30km distance from the town, he said this would depend largely on the availability of funds.
