DAP's call for PAS to abandon its Islamic state ambition is not at all surprising. DAP is well-known for their opposition to this idea.

While I fully appreciate DAP's logic behind such a demand, I cannot prevent myself from laughing. Does DAP not see that the raison d'etre of PAS is its Islamic state agenda?

Setting up an Islamic state is the purpose and motivation behind everything that PAS has been working for. It is ridiculous to expect them to abandon the main purpose of their existence.

How would one react if, back in 2003, famous footballer David Beckham set a precondition that he would only join Real Madrid if they agreed to abandon their pursuit to be the top European football club?

Or if Serena Williams demands that her sister Venus abandons her own pursuit to be the world's tennis number one if they were to pair up for the Wimbledon doubles? Or if the MIC demands that the MCA abandons its effort to help the Chinese if they were to remain in the Barisan Nasional?

Ridiculous? Definitely. And that is just what DAP's demand is. Pure and utter ridiculousness.

I wonder what DAP would say if PAS were to set a counter prerequisite that DAP drops its opposition to the Islamic state if they really want to talk about joining Barisan Alternatif?

Now, how would DAP react to that double-dare?
