      Respectfully, may I differ from you on some points: 1) “… after trying Anwar's PH ruling who also followed the footsteps of BN.” In fact, Rakyat did not deliver a PH government. It is a unity government in cooperation with UMNO and others. UMNO is now acting like a recalcitrant child, throwing its weight around. Anwar has to navigate his way carefully and could not immediately implement much of PH promises. 2) “PAS have worked with PKR & DAP and also with BN earlier and Chinese and Indians voted for them also on those alliances, previously.” That was the PAS of long ago under different leadership. Since the passing of Tok Guru Nik Aziz, PAS has changed its character and lost its soul. It is now a divisive creature spewing hatred and lies about communities other than its own. It has no qualms about receiving RM90m free money from Najib as widely alleged. Hence, if Najib is corrupt, PAS is also corrupt. It is disrespectful to the Agong and Sultans. 3) “… PN will not be like Talibans.” I won’t put it past PAS to talibanise this country. Under PN, Muhyiddin may be PM, but Hadi will be DPM. Hadi will push for Islamisation of this country and Muhyiddin will be just putty in his hands because PAS contributes the majority of seats. According to news reports, Hadi is also a committee member of an international Islamic organisation which is being banned and listed as a terrorist group by several Arab countries. Aside from Islamisation, why put PN in power when PN has amply demonstrated during its stint in office that it is poor in government and has no vision and skill to bring this country forward in terms of development, progress and prosperity for the people? PN is only good at lying, spewing hatred and plotting to topple governments. 4) “It would also be lesson/warning to PN who will also differ from any extremist policies, if they plan to implement.” PN will not learn. It has touted itself as non-corrupt as opposed to BN which it claims to be tainted with corruption. What about the Jana Wibawa scandal now, for which several key members of Bersatu have been charged? The massive corruption appeared to have happened within a short time after PN came into power. 5) “I believe most of the Malays clearly look at the character of the Malay leaders very carefully and clearly.” The country has been robbed by politicians and their cronies for the past 60 years. Why is it that Malays (who form the majority of voters) religiously voted BN back into power election after election for the corruption to continue until the country is skinned to the bones now and people are crying in desperation and now begging for round after round of EPF withdrawal? It shows they do not examine their leaders enough and are carried mainly by emotions. It takes a massive scandal as the 1MDB to jolt them. Why they swing to PN is also because PN is able to play on their emotions and religious sentiments. 6) “Both Anwar and Najib are NOT considered as their pride by most of the Malays, both are considered by the most Malays as their race 's DISGRACE.” They reject Anwar because of his alliance with DAP under PH. Due to BN’s lies in the past, DAP has always been made to look like a boogeyman. Penang has been governed by DAP for years now. Do you see the Malay community being sidelined there? That’s why, voters are not objective and are ruled by emotions. Malaysians should just give Anwar a try and let his government remain for 5 years to see if he could pull this country out from the doldrums. He seems balanced and has started implanting positive changes. If we hand the government to people without vision and who have been proven to be incapable of government (just look at Kelantan and Trengganu), this country may descend to levels beyond recovery. The people who will suffer most then will be the Malays who form the bulk of the population. If you love your community and your race, be wise. 7) “They consider DrM as their pride and that's why they rallied behind him in GE14 …” If this is true, why did he lose his deposit in GE15? As I said, PN managed to sway their emotions using untruths and by playing on race and religion.
