Without beating around the bush, the rakyat at the marketplace maintains that the BN must stop all the jockeying and get down to proactive work. Enough is enough.
Given what we read in the main stream media, and the breaking news in the internet, day by day the rakyat are getting pissed-off with all the politicking within the corridors of BN - especially UMNO and to a far lesser scale within the parties that beat the BN. Some amount of disagreements and hiccups can be forgiven in view of the unprecedented tsunami style elections. But the unfolding events these past several days do not seem to mirror what the BN parties have been preaching all these while. Now don't tell us that this IS politics. For sure that is not what they teach in the revered halls of political science. The disastrous loss that BN suffered under the verdict of the rakyat's vote should have been an unforgettable lesson for the so called veterans and experienced politicians. With two weeks down the road they should by now be able to get their act together and be working in earnest for the country, king and citizens. But no. The daily crossfire and gripping and accusation speaks volumes of a shameful line of politicians. Even the reputation and past track record of some who have been anointed into power sends shivers down the ordinary man in the street. Surely, the politicians cannot be so dumb, blind and senseless to the flourishing public opinions at mamak stalls and kedai kopi all across the nation. In fact even the Regent of Perak too has so eloquently said it all recently. What is wrong with our leaders and politicians? Are they so bankrupt of any motivation to succeed? Or is it plain greed, selfishness, and a lack of ability that is keeping them stuck in their own muck? Perhaps it could be some seriously deep-seated fear that is gripping them or as we would say in English 'afraid of ones own shadow'. It is totally unbelievable and betrays all common sense for the ordinary rakyat. Why can't the BN parties - especially UMNO, and their leaders get their act together and move on in a spirit of collaboration, cooperation and goodwill with their 'opponents' in doing what they are supposed to do? After all they have had fifty years of experience -- as they always claimed. In the business world (private sector) anyone who is hired will be fired if he or she cannot get cracking immediately following the annual performance appraisal. Now is this what the rakyat will have to do -- a re-appraisal and immediate sacking of villains, to end all this in-fighting, incongruent claims and counter-claims, back stabbing and clamoring for power among the BN leaders and their followers? Please gentlemen and ladies, get your God given act together while you still have time on this blessed earthly life. Otherwise gracefully step out of politics and let those who are committed to take the baton to continue to serve the nation. Politics is service not politicking please!! And those leaders who had overstayed and lost, please demonstrate at least an iota of humility. Stay away and magnanimously make way for others to prove themselves. Please for the love of mankind do not continue to regard yourself as the only savior for the party. In short stop playing god. Every lost hour is a destroyed opportunity to build this wonderful nation of people. And in the final analysis you can be sure that the voter will not take the blame lying down. The elected leaders and politicians must take the spade for failing to deliver eventually. J.D. Lovrenciear Semenyih

They will not learn nor will they listen to the people. The only option is to consign them to the pages of history as the most shameful bunch of thieves and traitors. Maybe its not too late to borrow a guillotine form the French?
