Pak Lah: We've learned our lesson

"We've learned our lesson."

This is what he said. But what he didn't say was what lessons he had learned. But wait.

I'm sorry to keep you on holding, I think he as just fallen asleep on the chair again.

Hmmmm.. if Pak Lah have indeed learned his lessons, then why do he need to set up an independent body to do a post-mortem on the elections? Sometimes I do wonder if he is sincere for making the statement "We have learned our lesson" claims.

And then he goes on down playing the failure of obtaining two-thirds majority in the Parliament.When first asked about it, he retorted, "In what way is it so vital? As far as we are concerned, we are not so crazy to be wanting to get two-thirds. We have a strong majority, just short of eight seats to secure a two-thirds majority. So it's not something we are worried about."

Saturday's results mark the first time since 1969 that the government failed to meet that mark.

So has he learned? You decide.

* Here's some election facts:

1) BARISAN NASIONAL'S (BN) lost five states to opposition - up from one in 2004 - and a staggering 28 per cent drop in the number of parliamentary seats held, from 198 to 140.

2)A tally of the actual votes cast for the ruling coalition shows that though it had seized 63 per cent of the 222 parliamentary seats, it had won barely half the 7.9 million votes cast on Saturday - 51 per cent. The only thing that helped BN inch past the halfway mark was the votes from Sabah and Sarawak.
