Who's YB Ibrahim Ali?

Why is he treated 'special' within the 'fold' of BN or UMNO?

Is he an UMNO member, UMNO sympathizer or supporter?

What's Perkasa relationship with UMNO, or BN?

Is Perkasa an associate of UMNO, or BN?

The involvement of Perkasa in BN is quite 'significant' during the Ulu Selangor by-poll, according to what Ibrahim Ali said in this interview.

The impression is that Perkasa was seen doing things that were deem not appropriate for UMNO to do, or carry out. So, is it right to say that Perkasa is an unofficial vehicle for UMNO? Is Perkasa 'designed' or portrayed as 'right winger' in UMNO/BN to avoid direct clashes with PM Najib's '1Malaysia' initiatives?

BN must take a stand whether to allow outsiders like Perkasa to meddle, or 'involve', in the internal affairs of BN.

It's very unfair for BN's components, or partners, that an outsider like Perkasa is allowed 'freely' moving around inside and outside the BN, and bossing around too.

UMNO, being the 'dominant' partner in BN, must quickly declare that they have nothing to do with Perkasa, otherwise, it will cause dismay among the BN component partners like especially MCA.

BN is in the midst of rebuilding its strength after 8-March-2008 general election, and it's especially more so for MCA; it therefore can't afford to have any unnecessary conflicts within itself.

The seemingly active 'involvement' of Perkasa in the BN fold has been undesirable, and counterproductive.

In conclusion, the relationship between Perkasa and Barisan Nasional (or UMNO) must be clarified as soon as possible.
