Once upon a time there were three little frogs. So to speak.

So the controversy about the Perak crisis goes on. It all started from the three allegedly called 'frogs' jumped from the opposition coalition to supporting the government. I'm sure they had thought about it, once, maybe twice. But maybe not trice. I'm sure they did not foresee; in fact, no one did anticipate that three 'jumps' could cause the many fundamental changes that has spread like cancer.

Suddenly, like poisonous mushrooms popping out after a rainy day, problems start to emerge for the highly respected and looked up upon opposition coalition.

First, it was about the issue that whether they should dissolve and have a fresh by-election altogether to elect a new government and Menteri Besar or the Sultan decides on who would take over this political tsunami hit state. If you ask me, I think having an election would be recognising Malaysia, as a democratic country.
Then, it was the controversy about which MB should be in power when the PKR assemblyman loyally hung on to serve his people when simultaneously the new BN Menteri Besar was sworn in by the Sultan.
Later, Elizabeth Wong fled the country to be away from the press and pressure caused by the circulation of her nude photos, after stepping down with integrity from her party. (For goodness sake, leave her alone. Its her personal life. She did not contribute to anything rotten behind her people's back anyway. You have no right to judge her.)

Then, it was the MB of Selangor that made the first page of the papers, that allegedly misused funds for his personal interest. Was it a little over 10k or so? Then let me ask you, what about the millions that suddenly was available to lure frogs over to the other side? How did that money come about? Its funny how Khalid's issue of 10k got detected and little or no investigations was made how the millions appeared suddenly in thin air.
Whether Khalid did really misuse his funds, its really his responsibility. If he did, he's in the wrong, regardless 10 thousand or 10 million.

Whether if its true that they say UMNO was behind the circulation of Elizabeth Wong's photos, we do not know.

But its queer how things like these starts unfolding, shocking both our ears and eyes because we have looked at the opposition for hope and upholding justice since the election last year in March. Its queer how things unfold after the story of the three little frogs. Yes, the opposition are humans too. And humans are not perfect.
Its great though, that our country finally has a strong opposition(hopefully they remain strong through all this), minimising the chances the government misusing their powers under our noses. As the opposition have their eyes on the government's actions and plans, the government too have their eyes fixed on the opposition, not letting a flaw they find pass their way.

So what happens to the three little frogs story? Lets wait and see. But I have a hunch it would not be a happy ending story.

Perhaps the ending or conclusion of the story of our country's fate is up to us, ours to tell, to carve. So, how do you want it to end?
