Another Battle Won; Where Next?
By Simon Templar
Permatang Pasir was a good victory for PR. But it is beyond me how the UMNO supporters are able to place a cross next to the name of the tainted UMNO candidate. This goes on to show that our country is still immature when it comes to politics. Nobody is bothered who the candidate is. You vote for the logo, not the candidate.
Permatang Pasir was a good victory for PR. Sweeeeet…
Many are surprised that PAS was able to win with a huge majority. Is it really that surprising? UMNO is still on their same old racial tactics – one of which the people are so fed up with. UMNO just cannot change – regardless of whatever UMNO claim about UMNO reforming. They are plain old school. Mind you Mr. UMNO Dark Lords, the Permatang Pasir (and the previous other by-elections) voters are largely the older generation. And you can't even convince them to sway back to you. What chance are you going to have with the Generation X when GE 13 comes? And a little down the road, the incomprehensible Gen Y?! UMNO, you guys are idiots! A bunch of kampung thugs who cannot see out of their coconut shells. Bertaubatlah…
And if you really are pulling your hair out trying to answer why your strategies at PP did not work, allow me to save you a few strands. It's simple. The people simply do not trust anything you say. I am not kidding la. Most Malaysians are like that nowadays. Whatever the BN government say are bullshit. Whatever the BN government promise will not materialise. Whatever the BN government try to explain is in fact a cover up. You get the drift? No need to scratch your head spinning and spinning anymore, the rakyat just don't trust you. You are better off spending quality time bluffing your own supporters and making sure they don't 'frog' to PR. Just leave the non-BN supporters alone. The sight of your leaders are quite sickening.
Having said that, I will again reiterate that PR is no where near victory for GE 13. In fact far from it. I still see UMNO forming the next federal government. The system and the tools are on their side. There are much that PR has to start doing; let's not go there today.
Back to the Permatang Pasir by-election. What I really dislike about this by-election is the narrowed-mindedness of the UMNO supporters. How they are able to place a cross next to the tainted UMNO candidate name is beyond me. This goes on to show that our country is still immature when it comes to politics. Nobody is bothered who the candidate is. You vote for the logo, not the candidate. UMNO supporters will vote the UMNO candidate even if the candidate is a cow. Similarly, a PR supporter will vote PR even if the candidate is a cat. That's Malaysia. Should the issue be about the cows or cats? No, the real issue is Malaysia is so short of talent that someone with so much shit up his ass like this Rohaizat Othman is able to run for politics. And garner some votes on top of it. The country is in such sad state.
