Chinese holding the key for new government formation

PKR de-facto leader is about to make a re-entry to parliament. Chances of him losing the seat on the re-election are very slim.

BN have nothing to offer to the voters. Since the election, BN had failed to show or even focus to develop this country. All that public saw were Penang were punished by denial of the 4 billions worth project, Kedah with the lodging funds issue, Terengganu never ending royalty disappearance issue, Sabah no-confident votes awarded with multi-billions funding, Najib scandal and recently resurfaced MRR2 link.

As a conscious public, we have every reason to deny BN popularity and commitment. All we need is somebody else that would have greater offer to the public, not a threat.

PKR coalition were success simply because public does not want to vote for BN. Last election featuring Chinese and Indian voting for PAS and Malay voting for DAP. Without BN as the not to vote party, this would never happen, at least not to the scale.

PKR on the other hand were also filled with imperfection and far from purities. From nomination of DSAI brother opposing the no-crony concept, personal tender recommendation, RM100 millions pig farm and DSAI scandals clouded PKR integrity. Most concern is the significance of PAS-DAP coalition that seems out of the picture. Furthermore, ‘muqabalah’ and possible ‘muzakkarah’ with UMNO stir up PKR strength and DAP especially got very nervous.

The outcome of the re-election to me is inevitable. Regardless of PKR ‘issues’, UMNO issues and not moving forward attitude outweighed PKR issues by miles. BN know this and so is PKR. DSAI will be in Parliament (unless if the Sodomi case successfully fabricated). Winning is not even an option for BN as that will trigger more anger and question of government integrity on the election process. What UMNO would aim is merely reducing the majority count so that they could use that in their future campaign.

Back to the Chinese that hold the key, I truly belief the success of this new intended government is on the Chinese shoulder. Malay had shown their sincerity and willingness to compromise their biggest asset of bumiputra status and benefit, PAS had ease up on their Islamic country approach, and that left is the Chinese.

Precisely, I think it would mean a lot to Malay if Chinese (DAP) can do the following:
Oppose RM 100 million pig farm
Drop ‘fluent Mandarin speaking’ in their job requirement
Promote Halal food
Do not double standard Malays in job segregation and remuneration package
Stop viewing Malay as lazy and less intelligence

Where do I stand? I do not favour BN under Pak Lah. I think he is full of sh*t and care very little about the public. Malaysia made more money than ever and he is going to waste that money on the over-ambitious Corridor project, project that benefits outsiders much more than locals. I prefer Tun Dr. M above other leader or current future leader candidates, for his accurate vision (development, not people) and firm execution. Yes, he is not perfect but I think he scores between 8 to 9 out of 10, which is good enough for me. I can’t be fanatic about PKR for the reason previously described. I like PKR numbers in the parliament but WALKOUT for not agree with something is just too childish and that have to stop immediately. You can’t be a part of a decision if you are not in the decision making room.

May god bless our country and all Malaysian. For a country rich with natural resources, blessed with highly values crops and public that are willingly be ripped-off on ensuring highly profitable GLC, we just need a true and honest leader. Who can it be?
