SEPT 16 WHO IS THE BENEFICIARY ?

Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim's (DSAI) past few months consistent claim of forming a new government is something that has been making headlines in the press daily. Is this just a claim or a reality as he had claimed that enough of Barisan MPs are waiting to cross over come Sept 16. Is it a tactical game by PKR ? Are there enough numbers to form a new government? This are some of the thoughts that are on the minds of the ppl.

History has it that Sept 16 is the day when Malaysia was formed i.e Sabah and Sarawak become part of Malaysia and hence Malaysia Day. It is a day to celebrate for their union made Malaysia, a model of multi-ethnic society once often praised by others.

The 12th general election on 8 march was the turning point for the rakyat who made their choice. They gave the PKR more seats than they previously had but BN had the simple majority to rule the nation , PR to govern the five states it won. So the decision was voted by the majority of the rakyat. So is the rakyat just waiting for someone to topple the government or are they concerned on the bread and butter issues affecting them ? Is there so much politicking going on that we all forget the achievement of a developed nation i.e Vision 2020 as its goal.


Who is going to benefit of this Sept 16 attempt, only one individual or the whole nation ? Are we not able to realise the stark reality of what is happening in our neighbouring country ?

I believe the government of the day have so much thing to do to turn Malaysia into a developed country and make the lifestyle of Malaysians better. Some of the our priorities are;
resusticate the flagging economy
Review spiralling consumer goods prices and increasing inflation
address unemployment among youths and graduates
eradication of poverty
illegal immigration issues highlighted by Sabahans
look at the needs of Sabah and Sarawak
Immediate review of the Public transportation system

Majority of Malaysians are not concerned on the politics of the country but on how the can counter the increasing consumer prices and pertol price hike and make enough to feed their family.The PR government if it is really great and able to convince the rakyat should go forward and carry on with its services to the rakyat and wait for its turn and perform well on the by elections and the 13th general election where they sld show their muscle after contributing their services to the rakyat , rather than going on with this sabotage. The investors are jittery and look at how the stock market is reacting to the perception of uncertainty created by DSAI.

Hi ppl, Lets move on and let the govt of the day concentrate on economic and social development which is vital for ppl of all walks of life. Let politicking take a back seat as we have bigger priorities at hand.

Radical Reform Required For BN To Stay Ahead

The Recent Permatang Pauh by-election further reinforced the need for the BN component parties to radically reform themselves. The rakyat is not against the BN but the approach it has taken in addressing the bread and buttter issues have them concerned on the future of this country and thus they look for alternatives.
The recent incident where a school teacher in Telok Panglima Garang who uttered uncalled remarks on a indian student have angered the indian community whilst calling the chinese "pendatang" at the permatang pauh byelection have turn the chinese furious. This are just examples of the issues that are begin to tear
BN has to look beyond race and religion if they were to lead the pack of the component parties. Time has come where the rakyat is questioning for their individual and community rights and as a branch chairman of a component party i do come across this questions myself. It is time to show the ppl that BN can deliver and just not playing rheotoric. Furthermore, the approach taken to address community issues and win over the rakyat has to reformed radically.
BN has been in existence for 50 years. It has a legacy of proven track record and system but now ppl are not looking at history alone. Character, delivery system and approach in handling the bread and butter issues are their main concern.
Tan Sri Koh, Former Penang CM echoed the statement that BN has to fast track its reform. But it is still unclear whether majority of Component party leaders agree with this or are they still thinking of the good old days.
BN have to be aggresive in the constituenties that its lost in the 12th general election. Appoint credible candidates who can go to the ground and do social and community service. With service delivery by credible apointees it will be difficult to gain the lost ground. BN has the capacity but will power ?
