There is a joke going around that party leaders of Parti Bangsa Malaysia are behaving like the proverbial “frogs under a coconut shell”, the literal translation of the age-old Malay saying “katak dibawah tempurung”.
It is usually used to describe an ignorant or unknowledgeable person, one of very limited outlook and experience. While this definitely does not describe the current PBM leaders, the pun here is using the word frog, as all of them have switched parties at least once. One even has hopped four times!
Party hoppers are widely referred to as political frogs.
They may not be ignorant but they sure are feigning it, calling for Bangsa Malaysia, especially when they could have done so when they were once members of multiracial parties.
PBM has six MPs, five of whom won in the 2018 general election under multiracial PKR.
