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 ?
