Pakatan's marriage on the rocks
I see that the mainstream media are going to town with this recent spate of squabble between the component parties of Pakatan Rakyat. From their headlines and their commentaries, you expect the coalition to crumble tomorrow.
The headline on the front page of the Star on July 2 read 'Pakatan set for collapse in Kedah'.
The day before, the Kedah DAP had announced its decision to withdraw from the PAS-led government over the demolition of the sole pig abattoir in the state.
The DAP holds only one seat in the state assembly, whereas PAS has 16 and PKR, 5, against Umno's 12, MCA, 1, and Gerakan, 1. How can Pakatan be set for collapse without DAP's lone seat?
