cakap cakap...pagi Juamaat.

Former foes are now talking to each other. Former foes are ramping up their attacks against each other. Friends are no longer talking to each other. Friends are now promising each other whatever the other needs to ensure each other well-being and survival in the coming weeks. Malay political leaders are negotiating a coalition among themselves. Malay political leaders are discussing ways and means to get other Malay leaders to work against each other.

Nothing is off-limits. Everything and anything is possible. Not for money, but demi bangsa, agama, dan negara. Everything and anything is possible for money for bangsa, for agama dan for negara.

All this is happening out there in Bolehland even as we speak. Some are in all-night sessions until the early hours of this morning. Some, over early morning breakfast at the Teh Tarik stalls.

I, over 6000 km away in Melbourne, know of these cakap cakaps in a steady stream of sms and messages over social media ...some in real-time and some in drips and drabs as the day progresses.

Just what do I hear?

The same as what you guys hear!

The Opposition will somehow get together in a coalition that will give BN a run for its money.

That PKR is certain that they will do PRU15 only with PH. Only PH has a reform blueprint that they will implement after PRU15. How they will defeat BN is a technicality that they would prefer not to discuss for now.

GTA is already talking about its ability to take at least twenty seats, and is still in talks with other Malay leaders and political entities to increase that number incrementally.

Sabah, Sarawak, and Semenanjung political leaders are now locked in negotiations to do this and that to ensure their political electoral victories, or at worse, their political survival.

There are reliable reports of a formidable Malay coalition already in place, bar the final announcement, which has one matalamat - to prevent the Malays in Umno from doing government after PRU15. This seems, to me, the most likely scenario because if there is one thing the Malays are good at...it is killing each other for financial and political glory.

Now that we know that polling day will be on the 19th of November, we will not have long to wait before all these political wannabes are put out of their misery with either a win or a loss at the polls.

While they only have to wait until November 19th to know their fate, we, the rakyat, will have to wait five years to undo any mistakes we have made in our choice of government. Kan?

May the force be with you, my friends, and choose wisely.
