13th of May Significance to the Perak crisis
Everyone is talking about May 13th and its significance to the Perak crisis. From May 10th judge ruling on proclamation of Nizar as the rightful MB of Perak, the crisis is reaching a transition point. And May 13th being too close to comfort of a date to everyone comfort and so it is definitely being talked about. But personally, I don't think anything will happened on 13th of May. There's few reasons:
a) the opposition now has a de facto leader who is a Malay
b) Islamic party is part of the strong opposition coalition
c) people are now more cautious to do any sensitive demonstration
d) BN has too much to lose in economics/business if something like 13th of May happened
e) everyone is connected and its hard to contain any fallout from the incident. The world is watching too
So there's no possibility of incident like 13th of May is going to happen at all.
