I refer to the Malaysiakini report PAS leaders pose questions over local polls .

Apparently, Kedah under PAS is not interested in holding local council elections. I am very surprised that why no one from Pakatan Rakyat has come out to speak up against PAS in Kedah on this.

Isn't PAS also part of Pakatan Rakyat and didn’t Pakatan say that they are for local council elections? Aren’t DAP and PKR part of Pakatan in Kedah? Or is Kedah Pakatan 100 percent controlled by PAS and the other two partners have got no say at all in Kedah?

How about Kelantan? Is PAS also rejecting local council elections for Kelantan? So what exactly is Pakatan Rakyat’s stand on all this?

Even NGOs like Bersih are now questioning what is happening to Pakatan Rakyat on the local council elections issue. This issue has also given Gerakan’s Tan Keng Liang ammunition fire away at Pakatan Rakyat non-stop.

This does not look good for the future of Pakatan Rakyat. As a voter who is not aligned to any political party, I hope to see Malaysia having a successful two-party system. I think most people also want this.

Pakatan Rakyat needs to build up its trust with the people and keep all the promises it made.

This local council elections issue is not only about implementing the third vote. It is also an issue about maintaining trust and keeping promises.

I hope Pakatan can help to clarify matters and get Anwar Ibrahim to solve this issue on urgent basis. Otherwise, I think hoping for a successful two-coalition system would just be a dream.
