How BN can win GE13

The PM must walk the talk to have credibility. The rakyat are
no longer fools. Saying one thing today and then saying another the next
day will never gain credibility. 1 Malaysia was a good slogan but it
has been hijacked by Umno warlords and rent-seekers. Admonish them and
get them to toe the line — you are the PM, not these guys! Do not be
weak — they will push you out pronto.

Chooi, The Malaysian Insider
Yesterday in Parliament, the
government had to seek an urgent allocation of RM608 million for the
period January-March 2012.
These are for the election
“goodies” given out by the PM and DPM over this period — very nice and
good.
But this
is not going to get votes as the rakyat feels that this is rightly due
to them for the way the economy is being run. Can you blame them?
While the PM’s office has
engaged a string of highly-paid strategic advisers, they are terribly
off the mark!
Attempts
to “finished” off Anwar Ibrahim with sexual episodes faced a backlash
—many rural and urban voters no long care or believe them. It is a story
so tarnished and old. The PM and Umno have made a fallible assumption
that Anwar is going to cause the fall of BN rule. Sorry, it is the BN
that caused itself to lose voter support
Anwar is just a fiery
politician and he cannot cause the demise of BN/Umno. Look at the
factors for voter dissatisfaction:
Corruption and cronyism
Umno and BN have failed to
address this issue which is dear to the heart of all voters. Time and
again mega projects are awarded without transparency and proper
procedures. Defence procurements are way above market rates and
politically-linked companies reaped huge and shameful profits at the
rakyat’s expense.
IPPs and toll operators reaped “sinful” profits, and the
government has done nothing to resolve this. While it is difficult, has
any firm attempt been done to re-negotiate these one-sided agreements?
Accusations have been hurled
at the A-G and the former IGP for misdeeds by very senior ex-police
officers yet no attempt has been made to investigate these accusations.
They may not be true but the government has failed to address them.
Thus far the PM had not acted
decisively on these accusations, but merely sweep them under the
carpet. Dr M may say “rakyat senang lupa” —how senile can he get!!
The PM must immediately
announce the postponement or revision of mega projects and ask for open
tenders.
Costly
defence equipment procurements must be cut back, saving billions of
ringgit at the stroke of the pen.
Investigations into the
accusations against the A-G and ex-IGP must be led by men of integrity.
At least the rakyat shall feel placated and the accused can clear their
name. The PM should persecute corrupt politicians and bring swift (but
fair) justice.
Independence of the judiciary
Amend the constitution and
bring back judicial independence immediately. If Pakatan opposes it in
Parliament they will be committing political suicide.
Walk the talk
The PM must walk the talk to
have credibility. The rakyat are no longer fools. Saying one thing today
and then saying another the next day will never gain credibility. 1
Malaysia was a good slogan but it has been hijacked by Umno warlords and
rent-seekers. Admonish them and get them to toe the line — you are the
PM, not these guys! Do not be weak — they will push you out pronto.
Race and religion
The PM must publicly reject
and condemn those organisations which use the race and religious card
for their own ends. If the PM cannot do this, what hope is there for the
peace-loving and law-abiding rakyat? How can we have a progressive
society? It is these bigots that will bring Umno/BN down. The rakyat is
sick and tired of these organisations — they bring no benefit to
society. We have had 54 years of independence and never needed them. We
do not need them now or ever too.
Stop political thuggery
While these thugs are
certainly not directly linked with the PM, he is aware of their
activities. Smashing and disrupting opposition ceramahs brings a
backlash. How are you going to woo voters when Umno thugs threaten
others with violence and their uncivilised behaviour? You lose votes by
default. Anwar and Pakatan do not have to do anything. They just have to
sit back and watch — the voters will know who they want.
Actually, it is very obvious
how Umno/BN can win GE13!! Umno/BN is just not looking at the correct
political perspective. Targeting Anwar is never the solution. Putting
the Umno/BN house in order will get back your two-thirds majority. Anwar
will not live forever but Pakatan will!! Giving goodies is welcomed,
but the rakyat will take your money and vote who they want. In the final
analysis you cannot control them. Times have changed. Voters are no
fools. They can see a bigger picture! Replace the strategic advisers
(and save the government millions too ) and BN will win. Winning an
election does not require Phds from Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge and
sleazy sex videos!
A set of policies that puts the
rakyat’s interest first will win — from the rural to the urban centres.
