Like many Malaysians with no affiliation to any political party, though I have many friends from both the political divide, I can't help looking at the daily happenings that the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) Government is pushing themselves into a more deeper turmoil within the coalition as well as campaign towards the impending 13th General Elections.
Their election strategies are still the same old tricks while the choice of speakers at rally (ceramahs) are basically non intellectual that blurts old stories, promises and fanning hatred but yet they survived through 55 years plundering the country into economic backwaters. Could this coming 13th General Election be the end of Barisan Nasional (BN) in line with the RAHMAN theory?
We see the "UMNO sponsored" Perkasa creating more headache for the ruling coalition in critical health with the Opposition gaining further ground into BN stonghold which does not augur well. The call by Ibrahim Ali (nicknamed "Katak" for his frequent party switching), President of Perkasa to burn the Bibles (in Malay) irks the Christian community to the core and any hopes of salvaging the situation proved futile. Najib has to be responsible for this misadventure and could also be the doing of the "secret hands" belonging to the former Premier, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The huge question remains as to why the BN Government are very much silent with practically no actions taken on the Katak for stoking racial tensions except for the call for calm. All we can deduce from these actions is that they are supporting racial slur and divisiveness as Perkasa. Period!
It is an open secret among the BN component parties and I believe, already to many Malaysians, that, Tun Dr Mahathir had personally labeled Najib as a "weak leader" and was upset with him in allowing his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to dictate many decisions as well as curbing her expensive shopping hobby that includes a diamond ring purchase (which she claims not true), extravagant lifestyle, fashion and the claims for her involvement in the high profile murder of Altantuya.
Besides, Najib's deputy, Datuk Muhyiddin Yasin and Tun Mahathir are known cohorts to grab control from Najib to arrest the slide of the BN Government which many had said would be their last after 55 years of independence and the unlucky number "13th".
The "Bible burning" call had caused waves of uneasiness with the majority Christians in the states across the South China Seas, Sabah and Sarawak. With the on-going Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants being granted citizenship for votes revealing explosive facts and untold "secrets" of the Tun Mahathir era, the angry Kadazan Dusun community are bent on reclaiming their rights to the Land Below the Wind which had been systematically fall into the UMNO hands where the rotational Chief Minister plans had now been scrape to favor UMNO corruption in the rich oil state of the Borneo island.
Not to be outdone, parents are absolutely astounded and fed-up with the BN instruction to Ministry of Education (MOE) for the handout of the RM100 school aid issued only to parents and done by the potential BN election candidates after a political speech (for nearly an hour). The question here is, are the rakyat beggars? And the BN leaders the masters? Up Yours I shall say and repeat!!
Again, this is another case of BN's common mixing of party politics with Government matters without realising they are pushing signicant votes away from the ruling coalition. Don't BN ever understand that it's the rakyat whom had placed them there to administer the country and they are not Gods for the rakyat to worship!
The abuse of Government properties for BN political events are nothing new and a clear indication of how the BN Goverment leaders have lost touch with the ground. With all important positions in Goverment ministries, Government Linked Companies (GLCs), organizations and NGOs filled by cronies to serve UMNO besides a free hand in doing whatever that tickle their whims and fancies.
Any rejection or objection from the rakyat is regarded as a voice of Opposition parties and will use any Statutory Law and Acts to curtail the uprising similar to Listen, Listen, Listen and Let Me Speak!! It is a clear indication that the rakyat had enough of the BN wakil rakyats behaving like Gods. "Rakyat Didahulukan"?
If we recall what the infamous Dato' Seri Samy Vellu had quoted in a Parliament speech previously, "Menteri benci, Rakyat benci, Hantu pun benci". Well that exactly reflects the sorry state of BN today for using divisional race and religionas their final straw to remain in power.
I would personally think it may have been a little too late for the BN Government to change the decision of majority rakyat for the coming General Elections for whenever Najib will call as many ex-civil servants I had spoken to are equally disappointed with the BN leaders. When traditionally the BN Government can rely on their votes, it may not be likely the situation this coming elections with many had made decisions to vote for the Opposition or resulting in spoilt votes.
If that happens, together with votes from the pro-Opposition working and young adults would certainly sway towards the Opposition as Malaysians in general, are finding difficulty to cope with day-to-day expenses given the constant hike in prices of necessity goods. While Najib had made lots of promises to constituents he had visited thus far, every promise comes with a condition of "You Help Me and I Help You". This itself is a plea message knowing well that the monies and goods being poured into the rural villages as "gifts" for vote does not go down well anymore.
The rakyat are tired with those 55 year old election promises only to be"screwed" after the elections with all the unfulfilled promises as seen in the price of petrol. With rice and sugar commodity in the hands of a crony, Malaysians must know why prices had gone up and up that has no promise that it will go down anytime. Whose pocket are we feeding with every price increase? So, is Janji Ditepati" holds truth? Look back and think carefully!
The rakyat are well informed and the BN Government must duly realise that they are addressing the country's future to a much more learned, literate and informed society as compared 55 years ago. So they are not easily bullied into submission as evident in the recent "112" event (Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat) and regarded as monumental in the efforts to create a just and progressive Malaysian society.
The huge numbers which had turned up for the event on their own expenses had resulted in UMNO having to deploy their band of liar bloggers and mainstream media to spread hatred and lies in the hope that the rakyat would give Najib and BN "one more chance".
The rakyat would not hesitate to provide Pakatan Rakyat an opportunity to rule the country and deliver their electoral promises for a 5 year term given the results they had shown in PR controlled states as evident in the Auditor General report. SO WHY NOT? Unless the BN Government has a valid answer, what is 5 years compared to 55 years of being "fucked" by BN???
So Malaysians, wake up and deliver your vote to the rightful to carry us and the country out of this "world dumpsite" the BN Government had brought us into!!
p/s we know what you did with the money changer Kak Ros!! hehehe.....
