Battle royale: Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan flags at a by-election. Now it is no longer just a matter of winning by-elections for Pakatan, as the ruling coalition is facing serious political manoeuvring to oust it. — Filepic

Some politicians seem to be more interested in cashing in their MP chip and building their own political stakes rather than the rakyat’s future.

THE Pakatan Harapan government is like a house of cards. It is a political structure built out of playing cards – PKR, DAP, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and Amanah plus its ally Parti Warisan Sabah – which are precariously balanced together. Take a card out and the coalition of hope collapses.
