Cameron by-election loss a lesson learned for Harapan - Muhyiddin
Yes we have to replace those non performing ministers.
Don ever forget before GE14 msia was at the verge of trickling down to zimbabwe and venezuela. The country has been deliberately brought to a state of no return, I am sure it is too obvious for all citizens to see. Therefore, before the GE 14 I would like to take this opportunity to address the sole person and or the most crucial person responsible for the future of the country. With due respect, dear Mahathir, before you breathe your last, I would like to thank you for developing the country for the past 22 years during your reign (albeit not as great as our neighbor Singapore), at the same time, you have been solely and or instrumentally causing the unchecked power in the ruling government that is now causing the descend of our beloved country into another Venezuela and or Zimbabwe. Wise people would know what to do, ditching the titanic before it is too late. Mahathir in his 22 yrs reign has transformed the country into a totalitarian state without check and balance, any opposition would first has to face intimidation by police forces that serve the master and not rakyat. 50years ago, we were the rising star, the Asian Tigers. 50years later we are at best, the Asian Cretin. Stunted in growth waiting for foreigners to lend us money
Harapan is at a dangerous cross-road. Results like Highlands seen from a superficial lens can easily stir a knee-jerk reaction to go all out to out-Malay and out-Islam UMNO and PAS, especially if Semenyih has a larger Malay demographics than Highlands. And we know how hungry Bersatu is for more power and influence. I would however urge restraint. Harapan should make a decision not to go down the path of far right. It must start undertaking reforms and ensure that it KEEPS its vote bank that includes the 1/3 Malays who voted for it, and to inspire the other non-Malay groups. A silver lining can already be seen that despite UMNO/PAS combo to dominate Malay votes, DAP (of all parties) have managed to chip away their vote bank when it comes to Orang Asli. OAs may be a small amount, but in the game of exacting political calculus, this can bode well by the time of GE15 where outstation voters will flock back, giving majority to Harapan. Dealing with Malay sentiments require an even hand and temperament. Harapan needs to demonstrate it is fair to all yet at the same time the Malays are better off than before because development is more evenly spread out and therefore evenly felt. Malaysians and especially Harapan component parties should watch closely Semenyih by-election campaign. It Bersatu can pull off a win without resorting to overt racial/religious pandering, it would signal a significant political shift of the Malay society. Bersatu should also capitalise on what BN claimed on Highlands win - that they did not use race/religion - let's see if they have such contraint going into Semenyih, otherwise we know they are fake, and Bersatu can rip them apart on that ground. If BN/PAS exercise restraint, that would be a new shift of national politics. One thing for sure, Harapan does not know how to campaign as the government yet. Manogaran and the PKR senator's snafus are just some examples. It should learn fast.
