No permanent friend or foe

In politics, the saying goes, "There is no permanent friend or foe." And it cannot be more true in the current Malaysian political climate.

The long-standing feud between Dr M and his chosen successor, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, which has partly contributed to BN's dismal result in March 8 General Election, does not seem going to end anytime soon.

Despite being bitten once in 1999, with the fruits of reward in the form of Selangor and Perak State Governments, DAP braves itself for a second reunion with PAS.

With UMNO-PAS talks proceeding at the highest level behind DAP's back, will the rocket be bitten twice by the same snake, albeit different holes?
