Just when you thought it was really over, here's news that the Perlis MB imbroglio will continue.
Apparently, UMNO is trying to have its cake and eat it too. It wants to avoid appearing to defy the ruler by agreeing to his choice of MB but at the same time it wants to take the matter to court because it has the Constitution on its side.
Is it going to concede or does it want the court to force the ruler to concede? UMNO can't seem to make up its mind on the matter.
There is a third possibility which might come to haunt UMNO which is that snap polls are called. If that happens as a result of this imbroglio, UMNO will live to regret it because it could very well lose its control over the state. The good folks of Perlis, as well as the rest of the country (including East Malaysia) have woken up to a new dawn and a new reality, one in which BN is in the opposition at the federal level.
