Perak Infernal Affairs (霹雳无间道)

Remember Infernal Affairs (无间道)? A popular Hong Kong crime thriller film about the story of a police officer who infiltrates the crime gang, and a police mole secretly working for the same gang? Two PKR state assemblymen charged with corruption, one BN trojan horse and one DAP marginalised state assemblywoman recently played up the Infernal Affairs viz Perak version, leading to the collapse of short-lived PR state government.

I thought democracy has come to live after 3-08. Obviously I was dead wrong. After the historical victory of opposition alliance since March 2008 general election, which resulted in BN lost 4 more states to Pakatan Rakyat, people at large were happy with positive changes in the political landscape in our country. But the politicians become agitated, nervous, over-ambitious as they are beginning to play up their respective political games. PR were planning to pinch MPs from BN in order to topple federal government. BN, on the other hand, couldn't sit still. For centuries, their political supremacy was challenged, they certainly can't live with that. Hence, as the people of Malaysia were hoping for a better tomorrow, they could sense an undercurrent of political hostility.

People like Najib, Azalina, Hisammudin and other BN leaders were saying that democracy had come to live when they had successfully convinced the Sultan of Perak to force Nizar and his exco to resign. That was absolutely bullshit. Democracy is a form of government in which power is held by the people under a free electoral system. I therefore say democracy is dead when the government elected by the people was brought down by political frogs who betrayed their supporters and back-stabbed their parties for what so ever reasons.
