I welcome Nizar Jamaluddin's statement saying he will attend the next state assembly sitting, despite his self-contradictory remark that the manner of the sitting being called not valid.
But he apparently endorsed this sitting as legitimate.
Unlike his “under-the-tree sitting” which did not receive the Sultan's consent, this Thursday's sitting has been consented by the Sultan as required by the state's Standing Order.
I do understand Nizar's dilemma – to attend or not to attend.
If he does attend, then he has to swallow all the dirt, accusations and tongue lashing of labeling the the state government as "kerajaan haram" (illegal), "merompak" (robbing) and "merampas" (hijacking).
But, his absence in the assmbly would be a missed opportunity for him to dramatise his actions.
I know certain quarters will start all kind of psy-war and sending text messages coaxing people to hold illegal gatheing against the May 7 sitting.
In a series of ceramah the opposition has fanned the people's sentiment to the run-up to May 7.
I don't really understand their emotive content. But I do concur that the firebrand type will surely lead to chaos and uncertainty.
They love to see the people suffer. They act as provocateur agent which will ultimately push the people to the streets.
They obviously do not care about peace and living harmoniously.
What sickens me is that these provocateurs will not be the frontliner in these demonstrations. They hide behind the masses, especially women and children.
In the runnup to May 7, they again are drumming up the same sentiment.
I remember when one of the PAS leaders even forewarned the Prime Minister to dissolve the state assembly or face an ala-Pattaya-red-shirt uprising.
This, I believed is reverse psy-war, urging people to hold illegal assembly and to create chaos in the state.
On the same note I would also like to touch on Lim Kit Siang who liken me to a caveman when the order to only allow certain members of the press to cover the sitting.
Although this directive is only a suggestion by the civil servants and has yet to be endorsed, these oppositions are jumping the gun calling people names.

I am posing this question to Kit Sing, what does he call his son, Lim Guan Ng, for banning the New Straits Times from covering all Penang state government functions or Nizar’s decision to boycott Utusan Malaysia?
Salam Perjuangan
