The opposition comedy is going on. The DAP, after leaving the so-called Barisan Alternatif in a huff over PAS insistence of an Islamic State, is now begging the same party to help them in the Ketari by-election. Have they no shame?

The crumbling Keadilan, from whose ranks Marina Yusoff, Chandra Muzaffar and Zainur Zakaria have fled, is pathetically puffing its chest and trying to get into the Ketari act. They even threatened, until recently, to field a candidate.

Their situation, however, is rather bleak, and even their former parliamentary candidate for Bentong has left the party.

The DAP should make up its mind as to whether it is in or out of the opposition coalition. Trying to portray the impression that it is still within for expediency of the moment, when they are facing a tough election, is selfish and devoid of principles.

It is difficult to trust such people. The public can easily see through this game, and are requested to reject the DAP candidate from the very beginning.
