If you’ve noticed, the opposition (PKR, PAS, DAP) seems to be having some internal problems lately.

And if you read some of the comments on blogs, you will find that some voters are already regretting voting for them.


While I am disgusted by these squabbles, I think each of you should learn to take a matured, long term view of what you want for Malaysia.


What is your plan for the Malaysian political front?
A perfect coalition that runs Malaysia flawlessly? Then you will have to wait, probably forever.


Your view should be simply this: Malaysia should have a credible and strong opposition (whether it be PR or BN). This way, both sides will have to always on their toes for fear of the voter-power.

It shouldn’t matter if LGE or Anwar (or even Hadi) has high ambition for the PM post. He will have to please the rakyat if he wants to keep the post. And who benefits? The rakyat.

You don’t vote the opposition just to spite BN.
You don’t vote DAP just because you want a chinese leader.
You don’t vote Anwar just to make sure the PM is but a Malay.

You vote for the party because that party can protect the peace and prosperity of Malaysia for your children and grandchildren’s sakes. And not because that the politicians can deliver election goodies!


Learn this: don’t be caught up with being a BN or PR supporter. Keep your options open. A goody-two-shoe opposition may turn out to be worse than BN in the long run – power corrupts (and in BN case, absolute power corrupts absolutely)

For now, I advise you to vote for PR to help them get established. After all, their squabbles are but a small ripple compared to the atrocities and corruption that is BN. Once Malaysia has a strong and credible 2-party democracy, you make sure they (be it BN or PR) work FOR YOU!

Remember, the aim of the vote should be to establish a system that ensures that these politicians serve the rakyat.
