Are we going to waste the Oppoturnity again?

Hadi again reiterated PAS remains in Pakatan.
But PAS has to really show that they are truly in Pakatan without any hesitation in their action.
The recent incidents such as beer sales, protesting of several concerts, unnecessary quarrels had made the PR supporters confused and disappointed.
These had made Tok Guru Nik Aziz mad and urged to have EGM to remove all those controversy's leaders.
While most of the PR lawmakers still dream that they will again retain their seats in next GE with the same tsunami sentimental, then these dreamers will waste the opportunity to make the 2-party system come true.
The recent post "Is the opposition wasting a historic opportunity?" from Tunku Abdul Aziz best warning to those dreamers to wake up and carry out their job properly.
And "民联如何逐步断送胜望?” (How PR gradually ruins its victory?) posted from Wong asking if PR could take over federal government if Najib resolve Parliament tomorrow. He doubted only the "die hard" PR supporters could believe it.
Najib government had strategically won back reasonably big shares of "center region" votes recently and stabilised East Malaysia politics.
He has an advantages as federal government that could use all resources and institutions and did not mind to copy some of the "good policies" that "only going to but not yet" implemented by Pakatan Rakyat. These made the "center region" voters start to hesitate where they should cast their votes.
I am sure the PR leaders know this more than us. It is a good move to apply as an official coalition but they have to act very fast in all levels to show the People that they are capable to rule as the government.

Single Stream School - The UMNO Final Destination

If you still focus on the MCA "scandal". Yes, it is a scandal. The crisis had turn to scandal. Bankrupt of dignity, trust, integrity, etc had made the people lost of respect for the party, the party that used to be the most popular among Chinese in Malaysia for the last 50 years.
You might still hope that the "Great Unity Plan" could quickly settle the party crisis and subsequently back to protect the Chinese community, then you will find all these hopes will be remained as a hope as we do for the past 50 years.
Of all the boring MCA news, the suggestion of single stream school was brought again by current UMNO leader DPM, supported by future UMNO leader, Mukhriz and the previous UMNO leader, ex-ex-PM.
What is this means? This is just showing that the dreams of UMNO leaders in the education were/are/will never change. They may give reason about unity, harmony, etc. but the intention is very clear.
They may promised to relocate or build some new vernacular schools, or given some subsidies, etc., etc. but the final destination will never change.
Even the PM promised the vernacular schools will remain unless the public demand it to be abolished. But, who is the public? The 2/3 MPs, more than 50% of population, or the survey from the Internet?
The suggestions to abolish and promises of not to abolish vernacular school are just a repetitive games. it happen every now and then for the past many years. They will do it again and again until one day you give up the rights.
Unity and harmony not only due to vernacular school, but the fairness and integrity. If the government fair to all, the poor, the incapable, the weak instead of purely based on races or religions, then all in the community will live harmony and unity.

Another Project Kerajaan BN ...........Collapse again

Another project "kerajaan BN" collapsed.
When stadium at Trengganu collapsed, the fortunate part was no body killed. But unfortunately, everybody was soon forgot the incident. No report was published until now. No body seems took things seriously.
When the bridge crossing the Sg Kampar was collapsed last night. Unfortunately, 1 student killed and 2 still missing. Any "fortunate" for the government to take things seriously now? However, the history shown that they will still never take things seriously, the incident will be forgotten very soon again.
Then, we will wait for more and more tragedies to happen.
When we want things fast and cheap,
When the contracts were awarded based on the "cablities" and not capabilities,
When the project contractors focus only on the profits but not the quality and responsibilities,
When the professionals emphasis more on marketing rather than technical issues,
When the "deal maker" are considered more significat than engineers,
When the People allows things like corruptions, mis-management, incompetency, etc to continue happen,
These are what we get.

The Real MCA President

Everybody was so busy for the last few months.
OTK was busy, CSL was busy, MCA ministers wer busy, MCA central committee was busy, central delegates were busy, MCA outdated leaders were busy, MCA upcoming leaders were busy, reporters were busy, restaurants were busy, VCD sellers were busy, banner makers were busy, we "irrelevant Chinese busy body" were also busy, etc., etc. Everybody were so busy and rushing even the past president also fell down and broke his arm. Finally, everybody was just seemed "kay poh chi".
Many power camp also surface for the last few months. Ong gang, Chua gang, Liow gang, 3rd force gang, liow-kong combo team, Liow-Wee combo team, kong-ng combo team, etc.
And all MCA issues, moral issues, empty promises issues, who stab who's back, who jump camp, who signed the letter asking OTK to resign, OTK resign or not resign, EGM1, EGM2, etc, etc.
All settled in one day with peace plan initiated by the real "Power" or probably we should name it as "1 Power".
MCA should have called it in earlier.
You guess who is in "Power"?

Could UMNO Laugh All the Way?

Yes, the UMNO President Najib and his team were laughing loudly.
After one and half year of depression and always teased by the PR members everything they did after 308, finally, the '1 Malaysian' looked like having a good sales among the People. They won the first by-election in Peninsular Malaysia, after 7 defeats, even though their candidates was tainted.
Yes, not only the wife and the team felt so touching watching at her wonderful husband and speeches, but also the People especially the non-Malays. They also felt like their tears almost drop when the KJ did not raised the Keris, but asked the Malays to end their siege mentality.
The UMNO President too said now UMNO is for ALL, not only for the Malays as for the last 50 years. Now, I think the non-Malays could not control their tears anymore............
Yes, Najib know the games and how to do re-branding. From the Merdeka Center survey, there are still 47% unconvinced and 21% don't know Pakatan Rakyat can run the government.Pakatan could said anything "bad" about the BN, but they have to convice the 47%+21% of the voters.
While the PR still unstabil and fighting among themselves for the "still un-materialised" federal government, this is a good opportunities for the UMNO to fight back, of course, using all resources, as long as they continue to rule in the next election.
What do you think about the high profiles re-branding?
One comment I heard from the RFM today is good: "The re-branding is like the packaging of the moon cake. It is so beautiful and more and more attractive & impressive every year, but the taste never change, still the old moon cake."

MCA Big Heads battle finised, Small Heads battle starts

What do you think about the MCA' EGM results?
I think the "lao sai" delegates created another bigger tragedy. This reminded me a HK movie about the gangsters. The gangsters in all areas were initially controlled by 2 big gangster heads and they always fight to expand their influences to other areas. The situation was chaos but still under-controlled by the Police. However, after 2 big gangster heads were killed, the situation instead getting better but get more chaos as now, the gangsters were controlled by more heads, but s smaller heads.
Of course, I am a non-MCA members and certainly not a central delegate. I have no say of their decision but just could not understand how the delegates think when they casted their votes. Probably they have too many personal feelings and considerations until they ignore the bigger picture of which direction the party should go.
But as a Chinese ( I do not agree they use the name of Chinese in their party name), but since they claimed that they represent Chinese community, then we have the rights to say something here. As far as most Chinese are concerned, MCA played its roles in their older days but they had gradually lost faith and supports within Chinese community since many years ago when they were happily controlled by the "lao sai" presidents and UMNO.
Whether you like him or not, OTK might be too arrogant and a bit stingy the way he politic, but he is the only President that the members (and Chinese?) could put some hopes that he may be able to reinvent the party back to its original roles.
But he was rejected by the 1141 central delegates.
It is no point to say this now and what is the future of MCA? Do you think the Kong, Liow, Ng, Wee and others could replace the leadership of chaos MCA now?
马华江湖从此又多事, and we still could not free from flooding with massive MCA news in the papers.

1 Win by-election

On Sunday, the polling date of 9th by-election after 308 in Bagan Pinang.
BN field thier "most popular", "sure win" but "controversy" candidate in their stronghold constituency, Mohd Isa to contest.
The intention of the PM or BN is only one, 1 WIN. (after 7 defeats in Peninsular)
As reported, BN leads all the way in the campaign from the first day. Even our DPM is confident this time and said Isa is impossible to lose.
Whatever results is, the lessons we could learn from this by-election:
a) Is Isa the "most popular" as claimed and still shine?
b) Is BN/Isa a sure win?
c) Could Pakatan improve thier influences into BN stronghold consituency?
d) Could majority of the people accept politicians that had black mark of money politics?
e) What is the distribution of supports between Malay/Chinese/Indian to BN and Pakatan?
But the most interesting part is, what if BN/ISA lose?
