‘King of Frogs’ started it all, says Koh
GEORGE TOWN: With party-hopping rumours wreaking havoc in Perak, Gerakan president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon has pointed the finger at the Pakatan Rakyat leadership saying the “King of Frogs” started the whole affair.
“All this hopping started with Pakatan Rakyat back in April and we (Barisan Nasional) did not start it,” Dr Koh said before attending the Chinese New Year Cultural and Heritage Celebration held in inner George Town yesterday.
“It was slightly over a month after the March 8 general election when they started to talk about getting people from Barisan to hop over.
“I think they started this whole process which just went on and on and after that. I suppose some Barisan parties ended up saying ‘why not?’.
“It was something that was started by the ‘King of Frogs’,” Dr Koh, who is believed to be referring to PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said.
Asked whether Gerakan would start preparing for a state-wide re-election in Perak should Pakatan’s majority fall, Dr Koh answered:
“I don’t want to comment on something that is still speculative. We will have to look at the later developments before I make any comment.”
