Ideological isolationism of DAP, PAS, and PKR caused coalition government close to collapse

Pakatan government is indeed a government of marriage of convenience. It is a fragile coalition and the duration is remains questionable but definitely it could fall at any time.

The Kedah DAP’s decision to quit the Pakatan Kedah government and the dispute over the sacking of PKR Seberang Prai municipal councillor Johari Kassim is by far the catalyst to cause the collapse of the fragile coalition government.

Undeniably, the ideological isolationism of DAP, PAS, and PKR but driven the narrow alley of a political coalition in order to share power, is by far the main factor to cause the internal conflicts.

The Kedah DAP had announced its decision to withdraw from the PAS-led government over the demolition of the sole pig abattoir in the state.

The PKR Member of Parliament for Kulim Bandar Baru in Kedah, Zulkifli Noordin on the attack against DAP by saying, it was meaningless for DAP to remain in Pakatan if it could not tolerate its two partners in the alliance. DAP had to exercise mutual understanding to remain in the opposition pact or strike out on its own.

In Penang, state PKR chairman Datuk Zahrain Mohamed Hashim accused Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng of failing to practice the principles of justice and compassion in the running dispute over the sacking of PKR Seberang Prai municipal councillor Johari Kassim.

These incidents clearly presented evidence of the role of internal conflict of Pakatan. They lack common policies and common stand on issues that may arise anytime.

From time to time, sensitive issues may arise which require some disciplinary intervention that opposition coalition has yet to develop.
