Well, another defection. You might get the response of ‘Err, again? Then it continues with ‘So...? And then ‘Who cares?’

The frequent defection of the politicians is no longer surprising for the public.

Malim Nawar state assemblyperson, Keshvinder Singh has ‘successfully’ put himself as the fourth Perak Pakatan Rakyat assemblyperson to quit the DAP and turns himself ‘independent’ joining Hee Yit Fong, and former PKR assembly persons Osman Jailu and Jamaluddin Radzi as BN-friendly independents in the state assembly.

He has also apparently turned himself into a joke. Angry and dismal responses have overwhelmed the online portals since the news of his defection broke. He had previously claimed that he had been offered RM20 million to defect and now he was reported as saying that only BN can help to develop the Malim Nawar area.

Why is that so?

He claimed that the state and the DAP did not help him to assist the people in his area and therefore he could not do anything to help his constituency. He also said that since he is now an independent, the state should allocate him a budget to help his constituency.

In the end, it is about the money, isn’t it?

Mr Keshvinder Singh, I have a question to you. As a state assembly person, isn’t it your responsibility to source out for ways to help your constituency?

If this unhealthy political scenario continues, it seems that Malaysia is not far from being a land of disgraceful politicians.

Where is your dignity, Mr Keshvinder Singh?
