I refer to the Malaysiakini report Anwar now 'in no hurry' to topple BN .

I am sorry for the 31 Barisan Nasional members of parliament who are said to have pledged support for Pakatan Rakyat and were willing to cross over to the coalition so that it could form the next federal government - a high-noon drama which went on and one until it disappeared into the darkness in the Malaysian mind-scape fantasy.

How they must have felt betrayed by Pakatan for not taking them seriously and because of that their dreams of getting to represent Pakatan in the next government have failed to materialise.

The fact that they were held in suspense for so long must have been excruciatingly painful for them. Also, the fact that their names were not announced publicly in order to show to the rest of the country how ‘brave’ they are, is sure to be another experience they will not forget all their lives.

We know how 'heroic' they were in trying to be to crossover to the Pakatan coalition to create a ‘new dawn’ in Malaysian politics but unfortunately this heroism is but a dream.

Pakatan has still failed to form the next government despite its pledge - or threat - to do so on Sept 16. Now their leader, Anwar Ibrahim, says this grand plan has to be further delayed and he is not sure when it can happen.

At one time, they even said that more and more Barisan members of parliament were pledging to crossover - by the hour it seemed.

In the meantime, the 31 Barisan members of parliament would have had to stay cool and not even support motions pushed by Pakatan members in parliament, despite having said to be supporting Pakatan Rakyat.

In a motion to abolish the ISA , only one Barisan member of parliament supported it together with all the Pakatan members.

Could this Barisan member be one of the 31 members who had pledged to cross over to Pakatan? Who are the other 30?

And why have none of them been brave enough to show their faces to the public so all Malaysians, especially those who had voted for them on the Barisan ticket, can see their faces?

If Pakatan has said that they had secured the firm commitment and undivided support from some Barisan members of parliament to crossover, then why was there any need for three Pakatan MPs to pursue Barisan members who were on a fact-finding trip to Taiwan recently?

Shouldn’t it be Barisan MPs who should be pursuing Pakatan MPs in the former’s bid to crossover?

Therefore many Malaysians find the pronouncement about how many Barisan members of parliament are to be crossing over to Pakatan as too fanciful to appreciate.

It could just be nothing more than a fantasy, a fantastic scheme to create unnecessary and imaginary divisions amongst Barisan members in parliament.

Many Malaysians are now thinking that PKR and its coalition called Pakatan Rakyat may not be the answer to the woes that Malaysia faces. They have Malaysians sitting at the edge of their seats, then proceed to pushing them off.

How inconsiderate and careless.
