Battle of the Bukits: A weak BN against A battered PKR

After the aftermath of the Kuala Trengganu parlimentary elections and the perak government takeover of Perak, the battle between the bn and the PKR blooms again , this time up north at Bukit gantang parlimetentary seat and Bukit selambau kedah state seat. it is commonly known that PKR had the upper hand after victory in KT but sadly the maverick behind PKR Dato seri Anwaronly concentrated on defections from bn to pkr and not vice versa. The defections strategy adopted by DSAI since the PKR resounding victory become their own downfallwhen the bota assemblyman purpotely ied in what happen in perak deflecting to PKR made a turnaround and together with three other and defected to BN. BN made a claim and took over the perak state alas the ongoing legal battle in the hands of the malaysian courts.
On the ground, the man in the street is dissatisfied with what happen in perak claiming that their democratic rights were robbed. People who i talk to are somewhat tired and not bother about politics any more.
The Bn on the other hand despite its failure in recent by elections has failed to change their 'modus operandi' radically. The latest being an UMNO division leader requesting for UMNO to contest a traditionally MIC allocated Bukit Selambau seat claiming that UMNO stands a better change to wrest the seat. For BN to strengthen itself, this must stop.
Given the status of a weak BN and a battered PKR, the voters of the bukits has to take this byelections seriously as it will reflect the mood of the rakyat. This by-elections is equally important for teh Prime Minister in waiting YB DS Najib razak who shall assume umno presidency and the premier post in March. Will he be able to turn the face of BN ?
As a 28 year old member of a BN component party there is a need for BN to be able to reach the rakyat and put up a Malaysian face appealling to all msians. BN must stop internal qualms on its candidates and work all the time to serve the people, not only during elections and by elections. The rakyat do not have appeal for the benefitsflloded to them during eklections and bye elections. IT must study the youth thinking and voting patterns.
The PKR on the other hand need to organise itself strategically and scrutinise its candidates credibility. Gone are days where the rakyat will accept a postman,a photographer as a candidate. a matured malaysian democracy is in the making. Will malaysia be able to have a strong two party system inplace to provide alternative in governing an orderly nation ? Will we see Obama like politics here? This is the agenda of change we must pursue......it may be a destination and not a journey too far but it starts at the battle of the Bukits.
