DAP should forget about being a member of BA. Obviously, PAS is the ' taiko ' in this alliance and none of the other members dared to offend them by making a stand on PAS' Islamic state intention.

I believe DAP should not join the BN but should stand on it's own as the defender of democracy in Malaysia. By doing this, the voting public can now have an additional alternative. It can also be useful for DAP to gauge whether Malaysians still accept them as a serious opposition party.

I hope DAP has learnt its lesson in the past elections where it was nearly wiped out and PAS was the real winner here.
